“(A/31/1/Add.1, part VI) The Council is, therefore, doing the right thing in addressing this issue today, as it did in 1970, when it adopted resolution 286 (1970), and in 1989, when it adopted resolution 635 (1989), In our view, the draft resolution on which we are about to take action seeks to achieve two main objectives. First, it seeks to send a clear message that the Council is determined to deal firmly with terrorism. Secondly, it seeks to ensure that the accused are brought to trial. It is Zimbabwe's view that this has to be achieved on the basis of the established legal norms and the existing international legal instruments applicable to acts of terrorism.”

“Zimbabwe, which also has been a target of acts of terrorism over several years, condemns terrorism in all its forms. We believe that there should be no place for perpetrators of acts of terrorism to hide. Terrorism, in all its forms, must be punished. It is our view that international terrorism constitutes a grave threat to international peace and security. The 1976 report of the Secretary-General aptly characterized it as "a threat to the fabric of organized society and a potential danger to all Governments and peoples".”

“Although I have had the opportunity to congratulate and welcome our Secretary-General on another occasion, allow me, Sir, to do so on this occasion, since it is the first formal meeting of the Council at which I have spoken since he assumed that high office. As one of the three African representatives on the Council, I could hardly disquise the fact that it is a source of special pride to see one of the most distinguished sons of Africa, Mr. Boutros Boutros Ghali, head the Organization at such a momentous juncture in its history. The issue before the Council today is a grave one. The wanton and wilful taking of human life that resulted from the terrorist acts committed against Pan Am flight 103 in December 1988 and UTA flight 772 in September 1989 must be condemned.”

“Let me begin by congratulating you, Sir, on your assumption of the demanding task of presiding over the work of the Council for the month of January. The skills, both diplomatic and intellectual, that you have demonstrated in guiding the Council's work so far assure us that the Council is in good hands as it prepares for a .
