  1. “There is still a long way to go, and the success of the process depends largely on the good will of the Government of Mozambique and RENAMO. Given that good will and with the support of the international community, we are convinced that it will ve possible to consolidate the peace process in Mozambique and lead it on to final success. The Government and people of Mozambique may be sure that Spain will continue to work intensively to achieve that end.”

  2. “Spain is a country in both of the categories I have just mentioned: in addition to the economic commitments it has made, it is participating in ONUMOZ by sending military observers, some of whom are already in Mozambique. There are many other points that could be raised and are to be found in the report of the Secretary-General. We should without a doubt welcome the fact that the cease-fire continues to be observed both by the Government of Mozambique and by RENAMO, but this situation cannot go on indefinitely if there is no progress in the political negotiations. We wish to express our clear and resolute support "or the resolution we have just adopted, which is a serious warning and a serious invitation to relaunch the peace process.”

  3. “Dhlakama. Similarly, the resumption of the deployment of ONUMOZ military observers to oversee the concentration and billeting of Government and RENAMO forces, if it is confirmed, would be an encouraging development. My delegation is aware that this process requires the active support of the international community and that recent United Nations experience in peace-keeping operations has made it quite clear that political reconciliation is intimately linked to economic and social reconstruction. Accordingly, those countries that have undertaken to participate in the United Nations Operation in Mozambique should do all that they can to speed up their procedures for sending military and other personnel. Similarly, it is necessary for the financial commitments taken on at the donors' conference in Rome to be met as. soon as possible.”

  4. “Secondly, RENAMO should, without further delay, send its representatives to Maputo so that the various Commissions can continue their work and so that those that have not yet been formed can be set up. Some of the same problems that RENAMO is making out to be the reasons for not sending its representatives could be discussed and solved within those Commissions. My delegation wishes to express its concern at the delay in the process of clearing mines from roads and railways, which is something that has a close linkage with the economic development of Mozambique and the creation of a climate of confidence. Notwithstanding what I have just said, my delegation welcomes the emergence of hopeful signs. Specifically, we welcome the recent news regarding the possible holding in the very near future of a meeting between President Chissano and Mr.”

  5. “We think that it is important for an agreement to be concluded as soon as possible on a framework for the force that will put an end to the logistical problems faced by ONUMOZ. In this regard, it is important that the Government of Mozambique sign the appropriate agreement with the United Nations. We take good note of, and welcome, the fact that the Secretary-General has received assurances from the Minister of External Relations of Mozambique that the agreement will be signed without further delay, as is reflected in | paragraph 57 of the report. Similarly, it is necessary for the de facto forces that seem to be standing in the way of the deployment of ONUMOZ to cooperate with their authorities so that the deployment can be completed without delay.”

  6. “Firstly, even if the cease-fire, generally speaking, has held and the parties are continuing to display moderation, and the population of Mozambique, after 16 long years of a devastating conflict, feels the need for peace most keenly, it is also true that there are a number of reasons for concern that must not be underestimated, Many of the timetables set in the Peace Agreement have proved to be rather unrealistic, and the delays have been mounting up, including the very worrying delays in deploying ONUMOZ. We believe that the uncertainties hanging over the process can and must be overcome. Both the Government of Mozambique and RENAMO must strive to create a climate of confidence in which the provisions of the complex General Peace Agreement can be fulfilled and in which the United Nations can deploy the personnel of ONUMOZ effectively.”

  7. “Mr. PEDAUYE (Spain) (interpretation from Spanish): I should like, firstly, to congratulate you on the efficiency and effectiveness with which you are carrying out your functions. Your long and varied diplomatic experience is our best assurance that the work of the Council this month will be fruitful. I wish also to express my delegation's appreciation to Ambassador O'Brien of New Zealand for the excellent way in which he guided our work during the month of March. The Secretary-General's report of 2 April 1993 on the United Nations Operation in Mozambique (ONUMOZ) presents a picture of light and shadows.”

  8. “Moreover, the measures provided for in this draft resolution would not be taken until seven days after the authorization of the use of force, under the terms of paragraph 4 of the draft resolution before us. In any event, it is my country's fervent hope that the adoption of this draft resolution will have the proper effect and that it will not be necessary for the international community to resort to force. For that reason and to that end, we wish to remind all parties to the conflict and all other interested parties of the need to comply strictly with the resolutions of the Council and of their obligation to refrain from committing new violations or other acts of provocation.”

  9. “4), in the event that new violations occur, the Security Council will make manifest its firm determination to ensure compliance with the ban on all flights in the airspace of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the sole exception of those that have been authorized by UNPROFOR. My delegation wishes to underline the gradual approach of this draft resolution, according to which seven days must elapse after its adoption before Member States or regional organizations can take measures of force in the airspace of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These measures are limited to the airspace of that Republic and to the legitimate exercise of self-defence. Anything outside this scope will require the new authorization of this Council.”

  10. “That statement demanded that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the responsible Serb officials of Bosnia adopt immediate measures to prevent any recurrence of such attacks. The Council also announced that it would continue to examine additional measures that might prove necessary in order to ensure compliance with the relevant resolutions. This is a very serious warning. My delegation has taken part along with others in the preparation of the draft resolution we are about to adopt and of which we are a sponsor. This is a draft resolution of great political importance. Indeed, with the authorization of the use of force, which is implied by the authorization of "all necessary measures" (S/25440****, para.”

  11. “In this context, we wish to recall that the ban on military flights in the airspace of Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in resolution 781 (1992), adopted on 9 October 1992 and reaffirmed in resolution 786 (1992) adopted on 10 November 1992, Since that time - and several months have elapsed - the Secretary-General has presented a series of periodic reports informing the Council of repeated violations of those resolutions. Furthermore, in the Presidential Statement of last 17 March, prompted by the aerial bombardment of the towns of Gladovici and Osatica, the Security Council vigorously condemned the violations of the flight ban and called attention to the first violation of resolution 781 (1992), when fighting took place.”

  12. “My country, fully aware of the tragedy the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina are undergoing, is striving, to the extent it is able, to improve the humanitarian situation in that Republic and is contributing significantly with an infantry battallion assiqned to UNPROFOR to escort the convoys organized by UNHCR. Convinced of our obligation to do everything possible to put an end to this tragedy and of our special responsibility as members of the Security Council, we wish to express our firm determination not to tolerate any non-compliance with the resolutions adopted by this Council.”

  13. “In his letter (S/25456) dated 19 March addressed to the President of the Security Council, the Secretary-General stated, "it is becoming starkly evident that a massive humanitarian tragedy may be unfolding in Eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a result of defiance by the Serb elements of the resolutions of the Security Council." (8/25456, fifth para.) For its part, the European Community and its States members condemned, in a statement that was made public on 3 March, the atrocities committed in Eastern Bosnia and added their efforts to the pressures exerted by various Governments on those responsible for the situation in order to put an end to those acts and guarantee free access for international assistance to the populations in need.”

  14. “Mr, PEDAUYE (Spain) (interpretation from Spanish): Spain is following with anguish and concern the tragic situation throughout the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in its capital, Sarajevo, and the eastern part of the country, which are subjected to intolerable attacks and harassment. That notwithstanding, the fact that the latest cease-fire agreement in Bosnia and Herzegovina is apparently being respected is a source of satisfaction for us. The civilian population is the primary victim of this conflict, and their dreadful situation is aggravated by the continual obstruction of relief efforts by Bosnian Serb forces, according to unequivocal reports received from the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for. Refugees (UNHCR).”

  15. “Finally, my delegatior would like to emphasize that, in accordance with the recommendation in paragraph 5 of the Secretary-General's report of 25 March, all UNPROFOR activities will be incorporated in the United Nations budget for a period of three months beginning on 1 April 1993. Thus the deployment of UNPROFOR in Bosnia and Herzegovina will no longer be funded by the unusual method employed so far; all UNPROFOR activities in the former Yugoslavia will be financed in the normal manner - that is, by assessments on the peace-keeping scale levied on all Member States.”

  16. “In this context, my country fully agrees with the Secretary-General that UNPROFOR's mandate should be extended for a further interim period of three months, and therefore my delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution. Furthermore, and in order to emphasize the interim nature of this extension, in view of the circumstances I have just mentioned, we believe that the Security Council should reconsider UNPROFOR's mandate in a month's time, or at any time at the Secretary-General's request, in the light of developments in the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia and the situation on the ground.”

  17. “We must also bear in mind that the extension of UNPROFOR's mandate will affect the future of the Force in the other Republics where it is deployed, and that the situation, above all in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is still fluid and uncertain. The deployment of UNPROFOR in Bosnia and Herzegovina helps to alleviate the desperate humanitarian situation afflicting tnat Republic. In that connection, my delegation would point out that the Spanish infantry battalion assigned to UNPROFOR has so far escorted about 400 convoys organized by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), covering long distances by road in very difficult ana dangerous conditions and making possible the delivery of some 20,000 tons of humanitarian aid, a large part of all the humanitarian relief distributed in that Republic.”

  18. “Mr. PEDAUYE (Spain) (interpretation from Spanish): I wish to begin by expressing my delegation's gratitude to the Secretary-General for the report (S/25470 and Add.1) he has submitted to us pursuant to resolution 807 (1993). We are about to extend the mandate of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) when there still persist fundamental differences between the positions of the representatives of the Government of Croatia and of the Serbian populations living in the United Nations Protected Areas and the pink zones. As the Secretary-General says in his report, more time will be needed for the negotiations to be brought to a meaningful conclusion, and UNPROFOR's presence in Croatia continues to be an essential stabilizing factor.”

  19. “I should like for all these reasons to express my Government's gratitude to the Secretary-General and his Special Representative for the vision and the courage which they have demonstrated and to assure them that they have our support in working to carry out the arduous tasks they still must face.”

  20. “In this rgard, I feel it is important to: point out that between 1991 and 1992, the European Community and its member States have contributed more than $350 million in assistance to Somalia, and that the bodies of European political cooperation have issued statements supporting the efforts made by the international community and the United Nations to contribute to the solution of the Somalia conflict. Spain believes that the resolution we have just approved and the implementation of UNOSOM II will make possible the restoration of peace and security in Somalia and put an end to the humanitarian disaster afflicting this country.”

  21. “On the other hand, the active participation of specialized bodies, United Nations programmes, regional organizations and non-governmental organizations will be required as well. In any event, perseverance should be a basic element throughout this process, since the state of anarchy described by the Secretary-General in his last report of 3 March makes it quite apparent that the operation will be of long duration and that all sorts of challenges will have to be faced. As I pointed out at the beginning of this statement, Spain has carefully followed the evolution of the Somali crisis. In so doing, it has contributed as much assistance as it has been able, both through national contributions and through international organizations to which it belongs.”

  22. “This ambitious project should enjoy - and this is a basic element ~ the full cooperation of the Somali people, and hence the need, as the resolution points out, to include in the process of national reconciliation the greatest possible number of representatives of the society of that country, including leading figures, professionals, intellectuals, women and so on, and to be careful to work to restore institutions such as a Somali police force around which the national administration can be rebuilt. I should like to express my hope that the Conference on National Reconciliation, which is curently being held in Addis Ababa, can make substantial progress in this direction.”

  23. “It is basic for the success of the operation that the transition between the Unified Task Force (UNITAF) and UNOSOM II occur without problems. This transition should be gradual and take place without obstacles or disruptions to avoid the possibility that the heads of the different factions or armed groups might take advantage of the advent of a vacuum in an area over which UNITAF has already established its control. My delegation must therefore highlight the warnings of the Secretary-General concerning the need to respect the flexible nature of this transition process and of the four phases into which it is divided. I also feel it appropriate to recall here the importance of having the Unified Task Force constantly maintain its logistical support to the United Nations operation.”

  24. “The magnitude of the tasks entrusted to the expanded United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II) has the objective of breaking the vicious circle that has prevented the effective distribution of humanitarian assistance. The United Nations recognizes that it is impossible to limit itself to ensuring the distribution of humanitarian assistance and that it is also necessary to support the process of reconciliation and national reconstruction in Somalia. Both tasks can only be undertaken feasibly if security is guaranteed throughout the entire territory of Somalia. This is the main mission of UNOSOM II and the reason why United Nations forces will continue to act in accordance with Chapter VII of the Charter and will, among other important functions, proceed to disarm the factions and other groups of Somali society.”

  25. “As a result, the historic resolution we have just adopted, while undertaking to advocate the recommendations of the Secretary-General and their implementation, establishes the first operation of this nature authorized by the international community and constitutes a decisive step towards trying to put an end to the sufferings of the Somali people and towards facing a crisis which, despite the fact that it is basically of an internal nature, could affect the peace and stability of the entire region. My delegation is very much aware that this operation is without precedent and that its proposed objectives are as laudable as they are ambitious.”

  26. “Nevertheless, the deployment of the Force has been limited to the centre and south of the country, it has not been possible to complete the disarmament and the progress that has been made, although significant, is not irreversible, as the Secretary-General himself points out in his report. The exceptional nature of the situation in Somalia, carefully described in the report cited earlier, has made necessary the adoption of equally exceptional measures.”

  27. “Mr. PEDAUYE (Spain) (interpretation from Spanish): As this is the first time my delegation has spoken in a formal meeting of the Security Council during your term as President, allow me, Sir, to express to you our great appreciation for the efficiency, professionalism and skill with which you are Carrying out your duties. I should also like to express my delegation's gratitude to Ambassador Ahmed Snoussi of Morocco for the very competent manner in which he guided the work of the Council during the month of February. The report submitted by the Secretary-General on 3 March highlighted the important achievements that have come about thanks to the activities of the Unified Task Force in Somalia.”
