  1. “We find it reassuring that those four permanent members of the Security Council clearly indicate that the draft resolution which is soon to be adopted is not the end of the road. We are, therefore, ready to record the forthcoming resolution as a positive development and thus a most significant milestone in the effort to address in a serious and action-oriented manner the important issue of averting the dangers of a nuclear conflict.”

  2. “That is why Hungary, a small non-nuclear-weapon country, appreciative of meaningful action, attaches great importance to the security assurances thus given. We feel that the draft resolution will provide us, as it does all other non-nuclear-weapon States parties to the NPT, with genuine guarantees. In addition, the draft resolution, by virtue of expressing a unity of intent by the five nuclear- weapon States, introduces a powerful element of deterrence against nuclear aggression or blackmail. Before concluding this statement, I also wish to pay tribute to the declaration made in Geneva on 6 April before the Conference on Disarmament by France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States concerning the provisions of Article VI of the Non- Proliferation Treaty.”

  3. “For the first time, the permanent five, acting in a most welcome manifestation of unity, are offering positive assurances in a Security Council draft resolution, and, also for the first time, they have elaborated measures, including the restoration of international peace and security, which the Council would take in the catastrophic event of nuclear aggression. Nuclear aggression is, most unfortunately, not yet a forgone option. It is still a possibility - maybe a remote possibility, but still a contingency. Contrary to all reasonable expectations and all the major historic changes of recent years, a non-nuclear-weapon State may still find itself the subject of aggression, or the threat of aggression, involving nuclear weapons.”

  4. “For example, the draft before the Council today has been placed before it not by three, but by all five permanent members, and the difference goes far beyond mere numeric quantifications. Hungary therefore welcomes this draft resolution as a most significant step forward in providing security assurances to all non-nuclear-weapon States parties to the Non-Proliferation Treaty by all the five nuclear-weapon-States which are also Parties to the N on-Proliferation Treaty. This step is not only a step forward; it is also a step of great historic significance.”

  5. “By adopting the draft resolution before us the Council will contribute to a large extent to the meaningful implementation of Charter provisions to maintain peace and security all over the world. It provides for immediate action on the part of the Security Council and, above all, its nuclear-weapon-State permanent members. The draft resolution puts a potential nuclear aggressor in a position where he must be aware that his actions will be resisted effectively and immediately." (S/PV.]431, para. 39) Nobody would deny that the world has dramatically changed in the 27 years since the meeting of the Security Council was convened to act on that draft resolution.”

  6. “Instead, I wish to make but a few comments on a major step taken by five States - the five permanent members of the Security Council - as well as on the draft resolution which they have submitted and which the Council is expected to adopt today. This statement is not the first a Hungarian delegate has made before the Security Council on the same subject. Twenty-seven years ago, when for the first time my country held a non-permanent seat in the Council, the Hungarian Permanent Representative stated: "The provisions of the draft resolution do constitute an important step in applying the Charter to the realm of nuclear weapons that could not have been foreseen at the time the Charter was drafted.”

  7. “It gives me great pleasure to be at this table today and to see you, Sir, presiding over the Security Council. Let me offer you my congratulations and wish you continued success for the remainder of your term in office. Allow me also to thank you and the other members of the Council for the opportunity to present Hungary's views concerning the important issue on the agenda. I do not intend this morning to set out the full range of Hungary's views on the main issue, the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, on which the international community has been focusing its attention for some time. Our Foreign Minister will do that soon - in fact, exactly a week from today - in the general debate of the Review and Extension Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).”

  8. “The resolution also confirms in in precise terms all of the basic principles, including the unacceptability of aggression and ethnic cleansing, which must be applied without compromise in the course of settling the Bosnian crisis. These are the considerations which guided the Hungarian delegation in voting in favour of draft resolution 859 (1993).”

  9. “However, we are firmly convinced that,even if the parties are not entirely satisfied with all aspects of the compromise worked out in Geneva, their dissatisfaction should be reconsidered against the stark prospect of an intensified war and, as a crowning misfortune, the disaster of the approaching winter. Hungary considers it to be of exceptional value that at this critical juncture the Security Council can stand united. Its call for an immediate cease-fire and cessation of hostilities throughout the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina is indeed the first and quintessential step to take in order to achieve a fair and long-lasting political solution. It is also a prerequisite for being able to secure the unhampered supply of urgently needed humanitarian aid for the population of that country.”

  10. “Yesterday, however, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Former Yugoslavia, Mr. Stoltenberg, also shared with the members of the Council his assessment that if a negotiated solution is not soon achieved, the war will not only continue, but will intensify and may even expand, with all its severe consequences. In our judgement, it would be irresponsible to ignore the relevance of this assessment. Hungary in no way wishes to contribute to the probability of making such a mistake. Neither do we want to conceal or neglect the fact that, in spite of all interntional efforts aimed at finding a workable solution, basic problems still remain to be settled among the parties and within their respective constituencies.”

  11. “The action of the Security Council today is in response to the critical stage the tragedy in Bosnia and Herzegovina has now reached. The war in that new State Member of the United Nations has been going on for more than 16 months. During that period, military attacks, the acquisition of territory by force and the practice of "ethnic cleansing" have continued in the most brutal form throughout the country. The whole world recognizes beyond all doubt that the overwhelming responsibility for the bloodshed lies with the Bosnian Serb party. As the latest developments in Geneva have demonstrated, it is the third time that the constant efforts of the international community, in response to the tragedy, have produced a credible chance of reaching a negotiated settlement.”

  12. “The Hungarian delegation supports the Security Council's efforts to help elaborate a workable, peaceful solution to the crisis. That is why we share the views of those who are in favour of sending the observer group to Georgia. Finally, we are convinced that the resolution which the Council has just adopted is a carefully elaborated and well balanced contribution to the long and arduous process of bringing peace back to the heavily tried land of Georgia.”

  13. “The information on the cease-fire agreement of 27 July between the Government of Georgia and the Abkhaz authorities in Gudauta, through the mediation of the representative of the Russian Federation, gave a new impetus to our hope that a just and peaceful settlement is achievable. That hope was reinforced when we learned of - again I refer to the Secretariat's paper: "the generally favourable impression, which the Secretariat's representatives have gained, regarding the progress in the implementation of the cease-fire agreement". We support the Secretariat's opinion that " the purpose of the negotiating efforts under the auspices of the United Nations will be to find a comprehensive political settlement acceptable to the parties in conflict.”

  14. “Our delegation appreciates the Secretary-General's efforts to launch a peace process involving the parties to the conflict. We would like to voice our hope that the Secretary-General's report dated 6 August 1993 and the questions that members of the Security Council raised concerning its contents, as well as the detailed and careful information the Secretary-General presented in response to those questions, will provide us with a sound basis for formulating our opinion concerning the situation in Georgia in general, and the establishment of a United Nations Observer Mission in particular.”

  15. “The delegation of the Republic of Hungary would like to express its firm conviction that the comprehensive United Nations efforts aimed at solving the complex issue of peace in Georgia have reached a decisive phase. At the present juncture, we are looking forward to establishing a United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG). As the Secretariat's response to questions raised by the Security Council puts it very well, "... if the peace process is to be successful, it is of the utmost importance that the cease-fire should continue to hold and be effectively monitored by UNOMIG". We believe that resolutions 849 (1993) and 854 (1993) have created a solid framework for the parties to find the way towards a peaceful solution to this problem.”
