  1. “The restriction being placed on the supply of arms and ammunition to Rwanda is also very timely. We hope that it will be scrupulously observed. My delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution before us in the hope that the strengthened UNAMIR will be able to help stabilize the situation in Rwanda and that the international and regional efforts at securing a cease-fire and the reinstitution of a peaceful political process in that country will soon bear fruit. The pressure to withdraw UNAMIR could, however, mount once again if the Rwandese parties fail to bring the hostilities and killings to an end within a reasonable period. That would mean abandoning the people of Rwanda to chaos and mayhem, the entire responsibility for which will lie with the leaders of Rwanda.”

  2. “At the same time, we also appeal to the parties in Rwanda to heed the international calls for restraint and reason. There is no doubt that without the cooperation of the warring parties as well as the people of Rwanda the enhanced UNAMIR will not be able to achieve much. The situation into which the contributing countries will be sending their troops is indeed highly dangerous. It is therefore essential not only that UNAMIR be adequately equipped in terms of armaments, but also that it be given clear-cut rules of engagement under which its troops can effectively defend themselves or those they are required to protect. The draft resolution before us is quite clear on the mandate for the revamped UNAMIR, and we hope that there will be no confusion in this regard.”

  3. “After the horrific and gruesome violence and killings that erupted in Rwanda in the aftermath of the tragic deaths of the Presidents of Rwanda and Burundi in an air crash on 6 April 1994, the reaction of the Security Council was to cut down the strength of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) in that country. Thus it was by no means easy to arrive at the draft resolution before us, which envisages the expansion of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda to a force level of 5,500 troops. It is our sincere hope that personnel for the increased force will be offered and dispatched to their areas of duty within a matter of days. The carnage let loose in Rwanda and the humanitarian nightmare which that country has become cannot brook any delay.”

  4. “It is a source of great pride for my delegation to see you, Sir, representative of a brotherly non-aligned country, presiding over the affairs of the Security Council with such aplomb and ability. The Pakistan delegation will continue to extend to you its unwavering support. Let me also avail myself of this opportunity to express our appreciation for the skill and dedication with which the Permanent Representative of New Zealand, His Excellency Ambassador Colin Keating, steered the Security Council during the month of April.”

  5. “We commend the efforts made by the Chairman-in-office of the CSCE Minsk Group to find a peaceful solution to the conflict and express the hope that the Council's adoption of this resolution today will strengthen the CSCE peace process. We appeal to all parties concerned to refrain from any action that will obstruct a peaceful solution to the conflict and to engage earnestly in negotiations within the Minsk Group of the CSCE towards the attainment of a just, equitable and lasting settlement.”

  6. “Pakistan condemns the continuing Armenian aggression against the Azerbaijani Republic and demands the immediate withdrawal of Armenian forces from all occupied Azerbaijani territories. We urge the Republic of Armenia to respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and we call for a just and peaceful settlement of the problem on the basis of respect for the principles of the territorial integrity of States and the inviolability of internationally recognized frontiers. Our position is consistent with that taken by a Special Ministerial Meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference held in Isiamabad on 12 and 13 July 1993.”

  7. “My delegation is extremely concerned at the further deterioration of the conflict situation between the Azerbaijani Republic and the Republic of Armenia. We are particularly concerned about the invasion and occupation of the city of Agdam in the Azerbaijani Republic by Armenian forces. It is understood that another district in Azerbaijan, that of Fizuli, and several of its surrounding towns and villages are under threat from the Armenian forces. This has created an extremely alarming situation, particularly for the civilian population in the affected areas in the Azerbaijani Republic. We are therefore grateful to you, Mr. President, for immediately responding to the Azerbaijani Republic's calls for an urgent meeting of the Council and for steering the Council in its unanimous adoption of today's resolution.”
