1. “Mr. Moungara-Moussotsi (Gabon) (spoke in French): Sir, I too wish to pay tribute to the manner in which you and your delegation have discharged your responsibilities in guiding the Council during the month of August. During the discussions the Council held on 4 August last on the situation in Sierra Leone following the seventh report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Observer Mission in Sierra Leone (UNOMSIL), my delegation expressed its appreciation at the positive developments in the situation in that country.”

2. “We are also concerned by the significant trade in weapons, which reinforces my delegation's conviction that only a joint campaign against the illegal arms trade can resolve this problem. We welcome the recent summit of heads of State of members of the Mano River Union and encourage them to help Sierra Leone pursue, in the light of its experience, its campaign against illicit arms trafficking. We believe that there is a need for the involvement not only of the United Nations and the Security Council, but also, as some Ambassadors here have already said, of the entire international community and all States Members of the United Nations, in a sustained and coordinated effort against the illicit trade in weapons. My delegation reserves the right to return to the report and its content in the impending debate.”

3. “However, we are obliged to note that concerns persist, in particular about barbaric activities undertaken by the rebels. My delegation was especially shocked by the information we have just received concerning the mutilation, execution and burning of women, children and other civilians. We believe that ECOMOG should be supported by the international community in its efforts to assist the Government of Sierra Leone in coping with the rebels. We believe, like other delegations, that the execution of members of the former military junta does not contribute to dialogue. We favour their being granted amnesty, which would promote national reconciliation in Sierra Leone.”

4. “Mr. Moungara Moussotsi (Gabon) (interpretation from French): I, too, wish to thank the Secretariat, in particular Mr. Miyet, for the very extensive report that, as always, has been submitted to us. We are also grateful to Ambassador Dahlgren of Sweden for his initiative in visiting Sierra Leone and Liberia in his capacity as Chairman of the Sierra Leone sanctions Committee. He did so in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Council, in particular resolution 1196 (1998) on this subject. We are encouraged by certain positive signs, such as the implementation of the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Sierra Leone and the efforts of the Government and the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG).”
