  1. “They deserve the full suppo:t of the international community. The measures outlined in the draft resolution (S/24827) come under Chapter VII of the Charter. They provide for sanctions and an arms embargo the Yamoussoukro Accord, and are fully justified, in my delegation's view. The assistance of the United Nations at this juncture is essential to avoid a tragedy that could have wide-ranging repercussions.”

  2. “It is thus a matter of deep concern that the situation in Liberia is deteriorating to the point of precluding prospects for the restoration of a cease-fire and the disarming and confining of belligerent troops, let alone any immediate hope for democratic elections. The force of the National Patriotic Front of Liberia of Charles Taylor has resorted to hostile acts against the peace-keeping troops of ECOMOG. Atrocities committed against innocent civilian populations have resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths in the past month and caused an influx of refugees into Monrovia, where conditions are critical, to say the least. The efforts of the States members of ECOWAS are a courageous attempt to resolve a serious African conflict by the peaceful settlement of disputes, and not through a military solution.”

  3. “The Security Council also reaffirmed in May this year that the Yamoussoukro Accord of 30 October 1991 offers the best possible framework for a peaceful resolution of the Liberian conflict by creating the necessary conditions for free and fair elections in Liberia. The programne of operation elaborated by the Committee of Five in Geneva in May for the implementation of the Accord and the deployment of the Economic Community Monitoring Group (ECOMNG) reflect the positive sentiments expressed by the Heads of State of ECOWAS towards the current process of democratization among States of the region and popular participation in political pluralism. It is an ambitious tas' whose implementation would have helpec set up appropriate institutional mechanisms for a peaceful political transition in Liberia.”

  4. “The conflict in Liberia is therefore a cause of great concern to the international conmunity at large, but foremost to Africa. The efforts of African States in mounting a peace-keeping operation, the first of its kind at the subregional level, at enormous cost and sacrifice, especially for the member States of the Standing Mediation Committee and the Committee of Five of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), deserve the highest praise. The Organization of African Unity has for its part given full attention to this question and provided political support for the elaboration of a peace process in the spirit of the Abuja Declaration on political principles.”

  5. “Mr, PEFSTHUM (Mauritius): It is a great honour for the delegation of Mauritius and for me personally, as Chairman of the African Group for the month of November, to address the Security Council on an issue of crucial importance for peace and security c. our continent. Allow me to take this opportunity to congratulate you, Sir, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council, and to wish you success in the conduct of our deliberations. In convening a special meeting at ministerial level on the peaceful settlement of the conflict in Liberia, the Security Council has demonstrated once again its commitment to furthering the cause of peace. Regionai hotheds of tension and crises remain the most serious obstacles today to the positive trends that have emerged in the world in recent years, changing internationol relations.”
