  1. Mr. MERIMEE (France) (interpretation from French): My deleqation is pleased at the adoption, by a very large majority, of resolution 792 (1992) on Cambodia, which attests to the determination of the members of the Security Council to take the peace process to its conclusion. The adoption of that resolution comes at a crucial stage of the peace plan. Unfortunately, the initiatives of the international community, first and foremost those of Japan and Thailand, and of the Co-Chairmen of the Paris Conference to find a way out of the impasse that has been reached in the implementation of the plan have failed. Following meetings held on 7 and 8 November at Beijing, it was clear that the Party of Democratic Kampuchea was not ready to cooperate in seeking the implementation of the Peace Agreements.

  2. The French contingent in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina totals 4,700 men, and nine French soldiers have already died on Yugoslavia soil.

  3. It urges them to make a sustained effort to contribute more actively to the restoration of peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and more generally throughout the former Yugoslavia. In this respect, it is appropriate to bear particularly in mind the risk of a deterioration cf the situation in Kosovo, Sandzak and Vojvodina, and to begin now to contemplate action to ease the tengion in these regions, The Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom, which holds the Presidency of the European Community, recalled what the Europe of the Twelve has already done to try to find solutions to the conflict and to alleviate the suffering of the populations. May I aiso recall that the French Government has spared neither men nor <<esources. The French contribution is worth F 1 billion, of which over 30 per cent is for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  4. They should facilitate United Nations peace-keeping missions and refrain from any threat or action endangering the personnel of the United Nations Protection Force. They should negotiate without delay a new constitution on the basis of the proposals made by Mr. Vance and Lord Gwen with a view co a political settlement. Lastly, they should ensure the return to their homes of the hundreda of thousands of refugees and displaced persons so as to avoid maintaining, in the heart of Europe, an uprooted population deprived of the means to exist. Finally, the Security Council asks the whole international community to do nothing that could further widen the gulf between the protagonists to the crisis.

  5. The Council further rejects the forced displacement of populations and the shelling of cities under siege, of which the recent offensive against Jajce and the daily bombardments of Sarajevo, in violation of commitments made, constitute intolerable examples. The Security Council must also appeal to all the parties in conflict on the territory of Bosnin and Herzegovina - Serbs, Croats and Muslims - to manifest at last the will to establish peace. To that end, we have a four-part message to the parties. First, they should observe the cease-fire and continue to negotiate in the Mixed Military Working Group in order to demilitarize Sarajevo and other cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  6. Hence the need to strengthen the sanctions regime to avoid further infringements, whether by sea or river transportation or the transit of goods; hence, too, the need to strengthen control of the arms embargo, in particular by establishing monitoring of the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina and by controlling possible arms deliveries by sea. Nezt the Council must tell the Serbian leaders of Bosnia and Herzegovina that the international commanity rejects two things. It rejects the taking of ce and waste to sea the tarritorial intearity of Bosnia and Herzegovina strictly respected. In this connection, the proposals for constitutional arrangements made by Mr. Vance and Lord Owen in our view form the basis of a political settlement.

  7. Mr. MERIMEE (France) (interpretation from French): On behalf of my delegation, I should like first to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council. I assure you of our complete support in the accomplishment of your task. When the Security Council meets to consider a situation as controversial and complex as the terrible situation in which Bosnia and Herzegovina finds itself, it must send a clear message to the various parties. What I have to say is my delegation's view of what the international community should affirm forcefully through the Security Council. First, the Council must indicate to the Serbian authorities of Belgrade that it does not believe that without their support - particularly legistical support ~ the Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina could continue the war on their own.
