  1. “Once again, the unbreakable bond between political stability and economic development is highlighted. The presence of the United Nations contributed to liberating the Haitian population from physical fear and to setting out the conditions for the development of democracy. Now the other primary needs must be addressed, and a real improvement in living conditions must quickly be achieved. One last word on an aspect of great importance - the security of the population. UNMIH has achieved a lot, with the help of the international community as well, towards improving general security conditions in the country. The next few months will be crucial for establishing police forces that must, of course, be totally different from those of the past, but at the same time efficient and well organized. This too will determine the future of Haiti.”

  2. “The efforts of all will be necessary so that the progress attained thus far, in particular through the holding of administrative elections and the first round of legislative elections, is consolidated in coming months, and so that at the end of its mandate UNMIH can be a witness to and a participant in the birth of a new democracy - on quite a fragile foundation, to be sure, but with solid possibilities for success. Progress on the political and institutional fronts too will be determined to a large extent by the success of efforts currently under way for economic recovery. The Secretary-General's initiatives on coordinating UNMIH's peace-keeping mission with development activities, in a manner consistent with its mandate, to strengthen Haiti's institutions will have particular importance in this regard.”

  3. “Italy voted in favour of the resolution just adopted by the Security Council, in which the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) was renewed until February of next year. We believe, in fact, that the presence of UNMIH has provided an effective and crucial contribution to the affirmation in that Caribbean country of an institutional framework inspired by democratic principles, just as it has contributed to launching the process of national reconciliation. It is our hope that the efforts of the international community will be matched by those of the country's authorities and political forces so that the process may come to a positive conclusion.”

  4. “The excellent work being performed by the OSCE Mission in Dushanbe and the participation of the OSCE in the fourth round of negotiations in Almaty are further signs of this commitment.”

  5. “My delegation takes note of this commitment, which is the best response to the appeal to the parties by the Head of State of the Russian Federation and by all the Central Asian republics, which emphasized that, while it is clear that the principal responsibility lies with the Tajik parties themselves, the burden of mutual mistrust and enmity complicates efforts to achieve real national reconciliation. In Kabul in mid-April and in Almaty in mid-May, steps were indeed taken in this direction. The international community, starting with the United Nations, is committed to democratic rehabilitation in Tajikistan. A significant contribution can be made by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the regional organization that in our opinion has a particular vocation to the promote democratic institutions and human rights.”

  6. “Thirdly, the political commitment of the parties, along with confidence-building and humanitarian measures, contributed to re-establishing what is, in our opinion, a very important factor: overcoming the psychological barriers between the leaders, who have shown that they can establish a concrete and direct dialogue. That this was the case in the meeting between the President of the Tajik Republic and the leader of the Islamic Revival Movement of Tajikistan is demonstrated by the communique they issued, which stated that they had committed themselves to continuing search for a solution to the problems that determine the fate of Tajikistan.”

  7. “We should not underestimate the work done by the Secretary-General' s Special Envoy in facilitating, at various junctures, a dialogue that has finally been consolidated, especially through the meeting in Kabul between President Rakhmonov and the leader of the opposition, Mr. Nuri. While the fourth round of negotiations in Almaty did not produce the breakthrough that many had hoped for, it still scored strong points in favour of national reconciliation. Firstly, both sides seemed to have displayed a more flexible attitude, at least in the initial phase. Secondly, the session was characterized by broad participation, both governmental and intergovernmental, which showed how, in some cases, formulas that expand consensus are not necessarily an impediment to the momentum of negotiations.”

  8. “In our View, the necessary conditions for the UNMOT Mission are the existence of the cease-fire and the maintenance of a certain momentum in the negotiations. Whatever their highs and lows, the inter-Tajik negotiations as a whole - since the first round - have seemed to follow a rather positive trend. Now they are enriched by the proactive participation of neighbouring countries and of the two organizations most directly interested, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The conditions that the parties had set at various for continuing the negotiations - regarding, for example, the agenda and the venue for the talks - appear to have become less stringent over the past two months.”

  9. “My delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution extending the mandate of the United Nations Mission of Observers in Tajikistan (UNMOT) by six months, essentially because we take a positive View of the developments of recent weeks, despite the shadows still hanging over some areas of the inter-Tajik negotiating process. The two primary factors allowing the mandate to be extended are firstly, the renewal of the agreement on a temporary cease-fire until 15 August 1995, and secondly, the decision by the Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States to extend the mandate of the Peace-keeping Force until the end of 1995. Italy is confident that the truce may actually last longer than the currently agreed period.”
