  1. “We believe that on the same basis, and in the same spirit, the peaceful efforts to solve this problem can be crowned with success if the necessary time is given for that purpose. There are chances for peace and for a peaceful 's ttlement of the crisis' contribution. What is required is self-restraint, not rushing into steps and resolutions that could impede or abort such chances. In the world of today, it is our duty, indeed our responsibility, to avail ourselves of every chance for peace. The Security Council today shoulders the historic responsibility of showing its determination to continue the march towards peace and to spare our region tension and instability. We are confident that the Council will not hesitate to give peace and a peaceful settlement more time and another chance, so that they can yield their fruits.”

  2. “Fourthly, the Arab resolutions have consistently stressed condemnation of all forms of terrorism and terrorist acts directed against innocent civilians. We believe that the phenomenon of terrorism is a painful general phenomenon and is not limited to one region or State. International efforts are required in order to establish international machinery on general legal, and not on selective, bases. The Arab countries have suffered from this phenomenon of terrorism in all its forms, and there can be no doubt that they are fully ready to participate effectively to the success of such efforts. Fifthly, the political atmosphere in the world today, resulting from characteristics of the new international order which has begun to take shape, has made it possible to reach suitable peaceful solutions to many regional and international problems.”

  3. “Secretary-General of the League of Arab States on 30 March 1992, the secretariat of the League emphasizes that the Libyan position indicated in the Libyan message concerning a solution to the present crisis between Libya and some Western countries confirms the sincere desire to evince good intentions in order to contain the crisis and reach a definitive solution to it, in accordance with public international law and the provisions of Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations. Thirdly, the Arab countries have reiterated their desire for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, in accordance with the powers conferred on him under the Charter of the United Nations, to make his good offices and valuable efforts available with a view to settling this crisis by peaceful means.”

  4. “The following facts must be emphasized here: First, the Arab efforts being made within the Council of the League of Arab States have not yet been exhausted; they have not yet run their course. These active efforts are still being made, and are set forth in the letter sent by Mr. Ahmet Abdel Meguid, the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, to Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, on 29 March 1992. Secondly, ina press release issued by the office of the.”

  5. “Those are the bases of the Arab efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement to the crisis, a settlement satisfactory to all parties and in accordance with the letter and spirit of Security Council resolution 731 (1992). They are in fact in consonance with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law. Furthermore, they are realistic and logical, particularly if they are met by good intentions and not by recourse to another kind of approach, based on escalation and confrontation. Such an approach is replete with dangers to our Arab region, at a time when intensive efforts are being made to put an end to the suffering and tension that have prevailed in the region for dozens of years.”

  6. “Secondly, there was emphasis on the need to cali upon the Security Council to resolve the conflict through negotiations, mediation and a judicial settlement, in accordance with the stipulations of Chapter VI, Article 33, of the Charter of the United Nations. Thirdly, resolution 5161 of 22 March 1992, reflects the sincere desire of the League of Arab States by urging the Security Council to avoid adopting any resolution calling for military, economic or diplomatic actions that might lead to a worsening of the negative factors affecting the region, pending a decision by the International Court of Justice on the case submitted to it on 3 March 1992, and in order to give a chance for any efforts made by the Committee established by the Council of the League of Arab States to bear fruit.”

  7. “To emphasize the full attention and active efforts devoted to this crisis by the Arab countries from the outset, it might be useful to set out the steps taken and proposals made by the Arab countries in this connection: First, the Council of the League of Arab States, in its resolution 5156 of 5 December 1991, called for the establishment of a joint committee of the United Nations and the League of Arab States. This call was reiterated in the Council's resolution 5158 of 16 January 1992. In addition, the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States was entrusted with the task of contacting the United Nations to ensure the exercise by the Secretary-General of the Organization of his good offices with all the parties concerned, with a view to reaching a peaceful settlement to this crisis.”

  8. “The draft resolution could have direct and indirect repercussions for other Arab and non-Arab countries which have nothing to do with the subject-matter being discussed by the Security Council under this draft resolution and which are not to blame for the consequences this draft resolution could have ~ especially if we take into account the close relationship between the interests of Arab and non-Arab countries, on the one hand, and those of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, on the other, reflected in the strong relations between those countries and the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in other fields.”

  9. “It is regretable that the outcome the Security Council will achieve in adopting this draft resolution will be the fruit of rushing into putting the draft resolution to the vote without paying due attention to its consequences; this is the result of failing to give enough time for all concerned parties and the Secretary-General of the United Nations to make further efforts within the framework of the principles and objectives of the Charter, especially its Article 33, which calls for the peaceful settlement of all conflicts and disputes. The Arab countries have been very desirous of reaching a peaceful solution to this problem, a solution that would avoid for our Arab region the complications that would result from adopting a resolution affecting a fraternal country, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.”

  10. “At a time when the necessary, urgent contacts between the parties concerned are still continuing in order to reach a solution to the Libyan-American-British--French crisis in accordance with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, today we find the Security Council facing a fait accompli; this is reflected in the draft resolution before the Council, which, if adopted, would adversely affect the important efforts made by the League of Arab States represented by the seven-member ministerial committee and the Secretary-General of the Arab League. It might also undermine the hopes our Arab peoples and public opinion are pinning on reaching a peaceful settlement satisfactory to all parties and in consonance with the letter and spirit of Security Council resolution 731 (1992).”

  11. “The Arab countries, at the level of the Council of the Arab League and through their representatives to the United Nations, have followed with keen interest and concern the recent developments in the situation resulting from the accusations levelled at the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya concerning the destruction of the Pan Am flight and the French UTA flight.”
