“It demands that the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and any others imposing similar tolls cease such action immediately. "The Security Council condemns these illegal actions and reaffirms that it is wholly unacceptable for the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) to take retaliatory measures in response to action by a State in fulfilment of its obligations under the Charter of the United Nations. It reminds the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) of its own international obligations and demands that its authorities ensure free movement of international traffic on the Danube. "The Security Council remains seized of the matter." This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/26572.”

“It reminds the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) of their previous written commitment to secure free and safe navigation on this vital international waterway. "The Security Council is also concerned that the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) continue to impose tolls on foreign vessels transiting the section of the Danube which passes through the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). By extracting these payments, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) violates its international obligations. The Security Council rejects any attempt to justify, on whatever ground, the imposition of tolls on the Danube.”

“Following consultations among members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council: "The Security Council has learned with deep concern that the blocking of the Danube by two Serbian non~governmental organizations is still continuing and deplores the acquiescence of the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), which is reflected in the fact that they have failed to take any action to prevent these acts. It condemns these deliberate and unjustified acts of interference with the river traffic of several Member States of the. United Nations. It emphasizes the importance it attaches to the free and unhindered navigation on the Danube which is essential for legitimate trade in the region.”

“In that context, the Security Council requests the Secretary-General to report urgently to the Council whether the incidents of 11 October constitute such non-compliance by the Armed Forces of Haiti with the Governors Island Agreement. "The Council looks forward to the Secretary-General's report and will closely monitor the situation in Haiti in the coming days."

“The Security Council considers it imperative that the Armed Forces of Haiti carry out their responsibilities to ensure that obstructions such as these to the safe and successful dispatch of UNMIH end immediately. The Council reiterates, in accordance with its Presidential statement of 17 September 1993 (S/26460), that serious and consistent non-compliance with the Governors Island Agreement will prompt the Council to reinstate immediately those measures provided for in its resolution 841 (1993) appropriate to the situation, with particular emphasis on those measures aimed at those deemed responsible for this non-compliance.”

“The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations. Following consultations among members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council: "The Security Council is deeply concerned with the Situation in Haiti and deeply deplores the events of 11 October 1993, when organized armed civilian groups ("attaches") threatened journalists and diplomats waiting to meet a contingent of the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) dispatched pursuant to Security Council resolution 867 (1993). Moreover, the disturbance created by these armed groups, and a lack of dock personnel, prevented the landing in Port-au-Prince of the ship carrying the contingent.”

“The conflict in Rwanda has lasted for too long, as all conflicts do. As all conflicts do, it leaves behind a trail of humanitarian and economic problems that will no doubt pose a difficult challenge to the Rwandese people. We trust that by placing all their hopes in the construction of peace and by building an ever-broader basis of confidence and reconciliation, the people of Rwanda, with appropriate assistance by the international community, will soon succeed in their effort. The new world that they are building will, we trust, prove to be one that is irreversibly oriented towards a future of peace and development. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on the agenda.”

“The participation in our deliberations of representatives of the joint Rwandese delegation, led by the Foreign Minister of Rwanda himself, is a clear sign of the willingness of both parties to work towards peace, and it reassures the United Nations that the two parties are committed to the concepts of disarmament, demobilization and reconciliation that form the framework for building a peaceful and prosperous future for the Rwandese people. The Brazilian Government lends its support to their joint endeavours, and we strongly encourage them to continue to work hard to put into effect the provisions of the Peace Agreement. We look forward to a successful and undelayed conclusion of the peace process with the holding of national elections and the ensuing installation of the new Government in 1995.”

“The Brazilian Government is convinced that the presence in that country of neutral troops on the basis of a multilaterally established mandate could indeed be of assistance by contributing to greater security, especially in the city of Kigali, by monitoring the cease-fire and by promoting compliance with the provisions of the Peace Agreement. Brazil therefore supports the proposal of sending to Rwanda a peace-keeping mission, as proposed by the Secretary- General. The mandate of the mission is set out in the resolution we have just adopted. It is clear and it is realistic. It has, we believe, the elements necessary for success.”

“The role of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in strengthening the peace process and in contributing to the implementation of the Arusha Agreement will continue to be extremely important. Aware of the pressing tasks of peace and reconstruction in Rwanda, we examined the recommendation submitted by the Secretary- General in his report (S/26488), for which we are thankful, in particular the recommendation for the establishment of a new peace- keeping mission to assist in implementation of the Arusha Peace Agreement. The two Rwandese parties agreed to call for the assistance of a neutral international force, to be deployed in Rwanda.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Brazil. The signing of the Arusha Peace Agreement and its protocols by the Government of Rwanda and the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF) was a most welcome and encouraging development. It brought with it the promise of a lasting peace and national reconciliation for the people of Rwanda. It opened the way for a definitive solution of serious humanitarian problems resulting from the conflict, including the return and resettlement of the hundreds of thousands of Rwandese refugees and displaced persons. Brazil values the efforts made by African States, and most particularly by Tanzania, in facilitating and promoting the negotiations that led to that significant achievement.”

“Furthermore, our Council will soon be considering a report reviewing the implementation of the Arusha Peace Agreement, on which may hinge the successive deployments being foreseen. These precautions amount to a number of elements that must prompt the Rwandese Government and the Patriotic Front to work together to restore peace to Rwanda after a conflict that, sadly, has had too many victims. The example they are setting - an all too rare example - of the coming together of two parties long opposed must lead our Council to recognize that this is a special case of United Nations intervention, in the success of which my country believes.”

“The United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) will make it possible truly to set in motion the peace process by installing in the Rwandese capital provisional institutions which will be able, in turn, to launch the process of economic reconstruction and organize the repatriation of many refugees and displaced persons. That is why the Secretary-General is authorized to deploy a contingent in Kigali as soon as possible. This deployment will then be followed by the dispatching to Rwanda of other elements to be put gradually into place. However, in establishing this operation, the Security Council does not intend to wait passively for the peace process to conclude. Our Council clearly indicates that the United Nations does not intend to remain in Rwanda indefinitely. UNAMIR has in fact been set up with a specific deadline.”

“Mr. MERIMEE (France) (interpretation from French): My delegation welcomes the adoption of this resolution by our Council. In taking this step, the Council has met the expectations of Rwandans which have been repeatedly expressed to the United Nations through representatives of the Government and the Rwandese Patriotic Front and which were reiterated a moment ago by the Foreign Minister of Rwanda. We welcome his presence among us. Moreover, in acting promptly the Security Council has made it possible to establish an element essential to the full implementation of the Arusha Peace Agreement signed on 4 August.”

"In the light of the successful completion of the mandate of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), the Security Council reiterates its recognition at the remarkable work carried out by UNTAC, under the leadership of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, Mr. Yasushi Akashi. "The Security Council stresses the importance of the continued support of the international community to the consolidation of peace and democracy and the promotion of development in Cambodia.”

“I believe I can say that Indonesia and France will assume fully and without reserve their responsibilities in this regard. France hopes that the process of restoring peace and democracy in Cambodia can be an example for the United Nations in the implementation of its other peace-keeping operations. This example could also be kept in mind by the peoples and the leaders in Europe, Africa and Latin America who are prepared to appeal to the United Nations but not necessarily to clearly choose peace or to make the necessary efforts to that end. In conclusion, I should like, on behalf of France, to address to His Royal Highness King Norodom Sihanouk and to the leaders and the people of Cambodia, who are entering a new era, all my good wishes for success.”

“They must know that any act of violence committed against the legal Government will bring the unequivocal condemnation of the international community down on its perpetrators and also, if necessary, against those who have provided support or served as accomplices. In this regard I must recall that while the second instrument in the Paris Agreements, which spelled out the UNTAC mandate, is no longer in force, the third instrument is. It concerns, as members know, the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and inviolability, neutrality and national unity guaranteed by the States signatories of the Paris Agreements, as well as the Declaration on the recovery of Cambodia. Finally, the spirit of the Paris Agreements must be maintained. I would recall that recourse to the Co-Chairmen is possible at any moment.”

“With the assistance of the United Nations and its specialized agencies, the Cambodian people will now be able to devote their energies to the enormous task of rebuilding a State and an economy. The Cambodian people can be assured, in this regard, of the support of my country, which recently hosted the meeting of the Committee for the reconstruction of Cambodia, and of its desire to engage in multifaceted cooperation with Phnom Penh. These positive points aside, there remains a problem we cannot but mention: the situation of the Khmer Rouge group. They themselves refused to participate in the elections. If today they wish to rejoin the international community, they must recognize the legitimate authorities of this country, open up their zone completely and accept the rules of democracy.”

“Its representatives here with us today recognize the useful role played by our Organization and ask it to continue its presence in Cambodia in the area of reconstruction, development and - constituting a victory of democratic ideas - the enhancement and protection of human rights. The Cambodian Government is also asking, through them, for the maintenance of a team of military observers. I can assure the Council that my Government is prepared to give favourable consideration to this request. It is the Secretary-General's intention to open an integrated United Nations office in Cambodia. France welcomes this idea, because we feel that such representation will be a symbol of the continued commitment of the international community and the United Nations to the process of consolidating peace in this country.”

“It is thus with a sense of mission accomplished that the Special Representative of the Secretary-General was able to leave Cambodia a few days ago, declaring UNTAC's mandate fulfilled and passing powers to the legal Government. Cambodia has regained its full sovereignty and found again its rightful place in Asia and the international community. It has, in away, rejoined the community of law. But the United Nations cannot be satisfied with merely leaving the country and wishing the Cambodian people good luck. It has the duty to live up to its expectations, a duty that results also from the actions carried out by the Cambodians themselves for the peace process in the country.”

“France has looked on with great excitement as true political debate was revived; we have followed the meetings held during the electoral campaign that, despite the threats hanging over them, were attended by hundreds of thousands of Cambodians who then went to the polls with laudable enthusiasm. France pays tribute to the courage and determination of that people to which France has been linked by history for more than a century. My country also pays tribute to the wisdom of its representatives, who knew how to listen to the voice of reason and put their quarrels aside in order to establish a coalition Government. Finally, we pay tribute to His Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk, who has unquestionably been the unifier of the Cambodian people throughout this difficult period.”

“The success of the elections in Cambodia is, first, a success for the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), which, under the authority of the Secretary-General's Special Representative, for almost two years contributed to the establishment of stability in the country and was able to cast out the demons of fear and restore confidence to a population that was battered and desperate after decades of civil war, terror and occupation. But it is also a victory for the Cambodian people, for while UNTAC taught freedom of expression and the defence of human rights to that courageous people desirous of regaining mastery over their own fate, the Cambodians have now made those ideas their own.”

“Mr. MERIMBEE (France) (interpretation from French): I should like first of all to hail the presence here of His Royal Highness Prince Norodom Ranariddh and His Excellency Mr. Hun Sen, who are the embodiment of the national reconciliation that the international community and France have long desired. We thank His Royal Highness for the very interesting comments he has just made on the situation, past and present, in Cambodia. My country, having taken the initiative four years ago of convening the Paris Conference on Cambodia to rebuild peace and democracy in that country with the unprecedented assistance of the United Nations, is happy to see today that its objectives have been reached.”

“In order for that decision to be meaningful, it is essential that both the Croatian Government and the local Serb authorities cease their hostilities at once, agree on confidence-building measures and cooperate fully with UNPROFOR and with the co-Chairmen in their mediating efforts. The decision of the Security Council to continue to review the suggestion by the Secretary-General on a possible extension to Croatian territory of the air-support scheme in place for the safe areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina reflects the sensitivity of that issue. As a matter of principle, Brazil believes that any decision that might entail authorization of the use of force must be handled by the Security Council with the utmost caution. The Security Council is to reconsider UNPROFOR's mandate in two months.”

“Notwithstanding those difficulties, we share the assessment of the Secretary-General that UNPROFOR has played an important role in preventing a very tense situation from deteriorating even further. When the future of any United Nations peace-keeping operation is being discussed the views of the host country regarding the operation itself are to be taken into account. In this sense, we note that significant efforts have been made to accommodate concerns expressed by the Government of Croatia. Brazil voted in favour of resolution 871 (1993) in the hope that the renewal of the mandate of UNPROFOR will be beneficial in easing the tensions and facilitating the attainment of a just and lasting peace in the region as a whole.”

I should like to express the Brazilian Government's recognition and appreciation of the admirable work being done by the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, where its personnel have often been subject to inadmissible threats, harassment and armed attacks. The Secretary-General has described those very difficult conditions in his latest report, which tells of a situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Croatia much aggravated by instances of lack of cooperation by the parties involved. Under such adverse conditions, it should come as no surprise that UNPROFOR's ability to carry out its mandate has been seriously hampered.”
