Constitutional arrangements aimed at facilitating a political settlement could certainly emerge from the negotiating process. It will be up to you to decide.

47. “Finally, it welcomes recent developments in the peace negotiations among the Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Croats of Bosnia and the Government of the Republic of Croatia. At this point, I should like to emphasize the measures decided upon under the resolution for Sarajevo. 14 To ensure that city's return to normal, the parties are asked, with the help of the United Nations, to bring about the total freedom of movement for the civilian population and for humanitarian goods, and to lift any and all impediment to this freedom of movement. This is an essential demand which will have to be met if a swift end is to be put to the sufferings so unjustly imposed, for nearly two years now, on the people of Sarajevo.”

48. “It was indeed important, in my Government's view, not to isolate the steps taken for the benefit of Sarajevo from other steps regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina. The resolution thus recalls the measures adopted in and around Sarajevo under resolutions 824 (1993) and 836 (1993), which made it possible to secure the withdrawal of heavy weapons. It also recalls the goals set for relieving UNPROFOR personnel in Srebrenica and for the reopening of the Tuzla airport. It marks the Council's concern at the stark situation in Magaj, Mostar and Vitez, and requests the Secretary-General to report on the possible extension to these cities of the protection envisaged under resolutions 824 (1993) and 836 (1993).”

49. “I thank the representative of New Zealand for the kind words he addressed to me. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of France. My Government welcomes the resolution that the Council has just adopted. It was indeed essential for the Security Council, after the establishment of a cease-fire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons or their turning over to the control of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), to decide to consolidate the gains won in Sarajevo thanks to the firm stand taken by the international community. This resolution, focussed on specific measures designed to restore normal life in Sarajevo - measures that I will elaborate on later - is part of the wider context of the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and of initiatives to spur the peace process forward.”
