I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. The next speaker is the representative of Germany. I invite him to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement.”

“Whatever its basis, such a settlement must not smack of "ethnic cleansing", appeasement or undue pressure to accept an unjust deal. In the attempt to cut and run, the weakest party - Bosnia's Muslims - should not be unjustly pressured and obliged to settle for far less than what is, in the final analysis, an acceptable minimum to them.”

“We have come a long way, mired, as it were, in confusion, division and inaction. We therefore welcome the current ultimatum as a right move and the first, perhaps, in a series of firm lines that have to be drawn to show our determination to end the war. That brings me to venture to answer the loaded question - "What do the Bosnian Muslims want?" More than anything else, they want the right to defend themselves; they want guaranteed peace, a fair and realistic territorial settlement, contiguous territory, secure borders, free and unimpeded access to both the Sava River and the Adriatic sea, and independent supply lines. What is at stake, however, is the viability of the State that will finally emerge from the ashes of a once-proud multi-ethnic society.”

“In those areas as in Sarajevo, water, power and access to supply lines are under tight Serb control. Surely this can no longer be tolerated. We strongly urge that the twin issues of the shelling and siege of Sarajevo and the other "safe areas" be addressed concurrently. Throughout the war, the Serbs have consistently tested the resolve of the international community, whose empty threats and indecision undoubtedly added to the lingering suffering and continued loss of property as well as territory of the war's chief victim - the Bosnian Muslims. Serb defiance set the tone. Western policy has changed quite often in response to events on the battlefield, and policy differences among the major countries have only exacerbated the uncertainty about any political and territorial settlements.”

“We are encouraged by the swift decision and the coordination of actions between the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on possible air strikes by next week, unless the artillery besieging Sarajevo is pulled back and taken out of range and the heavy weapons in the area are handed over to the United Nations. Through its resolutions, particularly resolution 836 (1993), adopted in June 1993, the United Nations has always had sufficient authority to use all necessary measures to deter attacks against Sarajevo and the five Muslim enclaves designated as "safe areas". The guns around Sarajevo may be silent for now, but the other Muslim enclaves, in eastern Bosnia, remain under tight siege and are vulnerable to retaliatory attacks.”

“Its provenance has never been doubted, given its timing and deadly accuracy. Over the last two years, the crimes and atrocities perpetrated in Bosnia, while the world watched with an indignation that was often unmatched with decisiveness, caused tens of thousands of deaths, fatal injuries and maimings, rapes, mass expulsions and untold human misery. The international community not only failed to prevent the aggressors from unleashing this war in the first place, but, worse, also failed miserably to contain the savagery of this abominable war which continues to this day. The question is, will the fallout from that deadly mortar attack change the future course of events in Bosnia?”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Djibouti. After an excruciating and gruesome 22-month war, catastrophic in both human and material terms, the powers that be seem to have determined that enough is enough. At least, that is the reading of my delegation, this time around. After the many golden opportunities squandered in the past, the time is again ripe for decisive and far-reaching action on all fronts, because it no longer makes any sense merely to present the appearance of a common front. We are too familiar with the hollow threat, "We rule nothing out!". The attack on a Sarajevo open-air market on Saturday, 5 February, now acknowledged as the deadliest since the aggression started, may, after all, prove to be the proverbial last straw.”

We can only hope the period until 31 March - and even further, until 31 May 1994 - is used as effectively as possible to empower those elements in Somalia that are truly loyal to their country and what their country could be.

“The United Nations mandate now changes from enforcement to more traditional peace-keeping, but in many ways its role must continue to have an essential bearing. With troops, sufficient logistics, protection of key facilities, the training and supply of Somalis to take over and reconstruction assistance in workable areas, the corner must be turned so that no one can return Somalia to the days of Barre. This will be particularly true if there is a regional agreement on a peaceful future for Somalia, which will serve everyone's legitimate interests.”

“Concurrently, the United Nations must protect its major facilities and its personnel while they are engaged in training and assisting in reconstruction. The democratic process must begin as early as possible and preparations must be made for elections for which factions register as parties, and eventually for a parliament and a president. The forces of - or at least the desire for - peace, development and democracy are strong, and this is what the United Nations must be S/PV.3334 46 seen to support in institutions, reconstruction and aid in its remaining tenure. Destabilizing or destroying Somalia must be seen to come at a cost. There is a political solution to Somalia's problems, but it needs peace and security to unfold. If it is not directly by way of disarmament, at least initially, then it has to be through the fear of using weapons.”

“The police must be well armed, trained and equipped. As one policeman was quoted as saying recently, "If we get that equipment we can take over from the UN troops, because we have the support of the people." Certainly, the recent grant of $12 million contributed by the United States is a strong step in that direction. The United States promise of 5,000 M-16 rifles and 350 trucks, and pledges of assistance from Egypt, Sweden, Germany, Norway and others, will do much to redress the weapons imbalance facing the police. We hear that the Mogadishu police at present have only 700 weapons, 37 radios and 14 vehicles. As their numbers, training, equipment and experience accumulate, they will provide a needed source of security.”

“While the leaders may attempt to resist this call, the jury is out on the hearts and minds of many young militiamen with respect to this call by the Imam of Hirab, the hereditary traditional leader. S/PV.3334 45 The threat, then, is the resumption of hostilities by some factional leaders. If this threat is to be countered, it must be by the Somalis themselves as the United Nations assumes a more limited role. At the same time, the Somalis must see their efforts to reconstruct their society with widespread participation as beneficial, which means there must be development, reconstruction and aid. All this calls for peace and security. In short, there must be a Somali element capable of protecting in due course those involved in reconstructing their country. There must be a police, judicial and penal system.”

“As The Economist noted recently, United Nations soldiers, confined to a minimum role, protecting posts and themselves, cannot stop the Somalis fighting one another. It is small wonder that, as incidents and attacks increase, there is fear and frustration on the part of many serving with the aid agencies. What must we and the Somalis do? Without guestion, the idea of leaving Somali to its own ruined resources is repugnant. Moreover, we know the Somali people themselves want peace. This is shown by the position taken in the recent Addis Ababa Conference, of December 1993, by all the participating factions. We see it also in the peace initiative of the Hawiiye clan, which includes Aidid's and Mahdi's sub-clans, calling for an end to hostilities.”

“The critical factors in the issue of what is to be done are the impending withdrawal of key countries and the implacable opposition to the Addis Ababa Agreements, including the role assigned to the United Nations in them, by certain factions. Together they have created a pervasive sense of insecurity and fear among all elements of Somali society, leading to rearming, a breakdown in security and interruptions of the flow of humanitarian aid. Without security, it seems, war and anarchy loom ominously. Even the residual elements of UNOSOM II face a threatening prospect. Such is the level of concern that some countries have put into effect massive evacuation plans in case the capital descends into chaos. There is also talk of a feeding frenzy on remaining United Nations equipment.”

“Once again, a series of conferences were held in Addis Ababa, leading to the definitive and comprehensive Addis Ababa Agreements, calling for a cease fire, disarmament and a grass-roots political reconstruction process. The United Nations was assigned the primary role of assisting in the implementation of these Agreements. There is no need to repeat the litany of events which have transpired since then, as we are all quite familiar with them. Surprisingly enough, Somalia and the international community are once again at a crossroads, attempting to determine the direction we will take, and our respective roles. S/PV.3334 44 In this process we have been aided immensely by the recent report of the Secretary-General describing for us the positions of the Somali factions and the options open to the United Nations.”

“To resolve this situation we have witnessed a succession of international conferences, beginning with the one in my own country, the Djibouti conference of 1991, which saw the participation of every political leader, all chiefs and elders, and an impressive international representation, resulting in the Djibouti accords. Some months afterwards, unfortunately, fighting erupted, leading to the United Nations-sponsored meeting and agreements in New York. But, again, after a lull fighting resumed, creating the infamous humanitarian crisis that resulted in the 1992 United Nations intervention to create a safe environment for the delivery of humanitarian aid under the Unified Task Force (UNITAF).”

I first wish to express and emphasize my deep gratitude to my predecessor, Ambassador Karel Kovanda of the Czech Republic, for the extremely capable way he guided the Council during his tenure as President. S/PV.3334 43 The resolution we have just adopted represents the latest stage in our long, involved efforts to assist the people of Somalia to come together and stand once again as a self-sufficient, functioning nation. Since the overthrow of the Siad Barre regime three years ago, there has been no government or recognized leader.”
