1. “Argentina is fully prepared to do all in its power to assist in the implementation of the proposals of the Secretary- General and to cooperate with the African States. These complex political and economic situations are not isolated realities, however. For its part, Argentina, after decades of political instability, has re-established democracy by making sacrifices. Therefore we understand and support the determination of the peoples and leaders of Africa to live in peace under the rule of law. Argentina benefits from this trend towards change. It has not only strengthened its relations with many African countries but has also built up extremely fruitful trading arrangements. The 1997 figures show a 70 per cent increase in exports and a 50 per cent increase in imports as compared to 1996.”

2. “Similarly, many African countries have successfully undertaken thorough reforms of their economies. The commitment entered into by seven African Heads of State and United States President Clinton in the Entebbe Declaration of 25 March 1998 bears eloquent testimony in this regard. As the Minister for Foreign Affairs Guido di Tella stated in his letter to the President of the Security Council of 22 September 1997, the causes of conflict in Africa are wide-ranging and call for comprehensive responses. We concur with the premise, contained in the report of the Secretary-General, that these conflicts cannot be settled in an isolated fashion, but must be approached in a manner that comprehensively deals with peace and security, sustainable development, democracy and good governance.”

3. “We would have to be blind to deny the complexity of the African situations. We would have to be equally blind, and certainly unfair, not to appreciate the efforts of most African countries to strengthen their democracies, promote human rights and modernize their economies. Similarly, our assessment would be incomplete if we did not recall once again that Africa, like Latin America, was the scene of cruel conflicts during the cold war. These conflicts invariably left a legacy of backwardness and discouragement. Fortunately, this situation is changing. In the economic area, tangible results have been achieved. Despite the heavy burden of external debt, in 1996 the African economy grew by more than 4 per cent, which was the highest growth rate in the last 20 years.”

4. “Mr. Petrella (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish): Mr. President, I would like to pay a tribute to your great personal and professional qualities which we all deeply value. I would also like to congratulate the Ambassador of the Gambia for his work last month, and I wish most cordially to bid welcome to Mrs. Louise Frechette, the Deputy Secretary-General, and wish her success in her sensitive job. On behalf of the Argentine Government, we would like to thank the Secretary-General for his report. It gives us an important analysis of the historic and current sources of the conflicts in Africa and provides proposals to overcome them. We cannot remain indifferent to the challenge these proposals imply. We are morally duty- bound to act rapidly, generously and jointly.”

6. “That agreement should be strictly interpreted and complied with in good faith and in conformity with international law. This too is the clear message that the Government of Argentina, holding the pro tem presidency of the Southern Cone Common Market, sent on 26 February last on behalf of that organization. Furthermore, we believe that the statement made by the Secretary-General at the start of today's meeting very accurately and eloquently summarized the thinking of the Government of Argentina. Lastly, we express to all members of this Council our gratitude for the sensitivity shown in the unanimous adoption of resolution 1153 (1998).”

7. “Today we can welcome the determination, the calm and the diplomatic skill shown by the Secretary-General and those officials who accompanied him on his good- offices mission to the Government of Iraq. Because of that success, the indispensable role of the United Nations in the maintenance of international peace and security has been enhanced and has gained greater visibility. In addition, the jurisdiction of the Security Council has been strengthened. Its responsibilities are clearly set out in the Charter and may not under any circumstances be evaded. The Memorandum of Understanding reached by the Secretary-General in Baghdad addresses the question of compliance with Security Council resolutions, including observance of those aspects related to the mandate of the Special Commission.”

8. “Mr. Petrella (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish): May I congratulate the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Gambia for serving as President of the Council in this month of March. We would like also to extend our warmest thanks to Ambassador Dangue Rewaka of Gabon for having contributed, during his term in the month of February, to creating an atmosphere conducive to the Secretary-General's complex and far-reaching mission in Baghdad. In the same context and at the same time, on 17 February last, under circumstances of dramatic uncertainty, the President of Argentina, Mr. Carlos Menem, addressed a letter to the Secretary-General in support of a diplomatic solution to this serious crisis.”

9. “At the same time, allow me to express my gratitude to all the countries that, in various ways, are contributing to this delicate mission. Argentina is honoured to have been part of the International Police Task Force since its inception and will continue to participate as long as is necessary. Allow me to say, as we approach the conclusion in this important debate, that what has happened in that region and its consequences can be only partially rectified by the tools available to this Council. We therefore believe that every avenue of solidarity and assistance must be pursued, in order to return as much hope as possible to those who have suffered so much.”

10. “The United Nations and all the agencies mentioned by the Secretary-General that are involved in implementing the Peace Agreement deserve our fullest confidence so that they can successfully continue their difficult task. We fully support the initiative to extend the mandate of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We also hope that the International Police Task Force, which is part of that Mission, will have the necessary military support to carry out its functions during the period of its mandate. We would like to express our special appreciation for the work being done by Mr. Kai Eide, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and by Mr. Manfred Seitner, Commissioner of the International Police Task Force.”

11. “A fully functioning central Government, the practice of good government, the return of refugees and displaced persons to their places of origin, the exercise of freedom of expression, cooperation with the International Tribunal and the holding of municipal elections are some of the matters that must be addressed as soon as possible. The difficulties they present should not be cause for discouragement, nor should they justify delays that jeopardize areas of agreement or long-term objectives. We are encouraged by the description in the Secretary- General's report of the progress made in the implementation of the Peace Agreement, especially as regards the functioning of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina and, specifically, the fulfilment of the mandate of the International Police Task Force.”

12. “Mr. Petrella (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish): It is a great honour to take part in this debate under your presidency, Sir. You fittingly represent a country that has played a key role in the successful achievement of peace in Central America and that has for a long time been an example of good government for the entire hemisphere. Argentina participated in the Security Council's adoption in 1995 of the first resolutions designed to implement the General Framework Agreement for Peace, which was initialled in Dayton on 21 November of that year. In our view, any assessment of the process that began there must take into account the contrast between the prevailing scepticism of that time and today's relative optimism. It is true that much remains to be done.”

13. “In particular, we are grateful for the understanding shown by China and the Russian Federation in translating into reality a continuing United Nations presence in Haiti. The mandate of the Mission that is being established by the draft resolution to be voted on faces the same difficulties as the missions previously deployed in Haiti. For that reason, we attach special importance to the United Nations capacity for dialogue on the ground. Accordingly, we believe that maintaining an appropriate level of representation by the United Nations will be conducive to the success of that mandate. Finally, we wish to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Enrique ter Horst, for the dedication and professionalism with which he has carried out his functions.”

14. “Accordingly, Argentina, which is committed to the defence of democracy and institutions, considers it necessary to give its express support for a continued United Nations presence in Haiti. We know that to achieve the consolidation of a State's institutions, international assistance in itself is not a solution. The determination of all the political forces of Haiti is a necessary condition, as is the achievement of a general framework for international assistance that enables sustainable development to take place. On this occasion, we once again express our thanks to all of the members of the Security Council for continuing to hold to their commitment to institutional consolidation in Haiti.”

15. “Mr. Petrella (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish): At the outset, Mr. Qin Huasun, let me congratulate you on the outstanding manner in which you have guided the work of the Security Council during an intensely busy month. This is no surprise given your experience and the prominence of your country in world affairs. The draft resolution before the Council today would renew international assistance in the consolidation of democracy and institutions in Haiti. As the Secretary- General notes in his comprehensive report, he received a letter dated 29 October 1997 from the President of Haiti requesting continued United Nations support for the process that is under way.”

17. “The international community cannot remain indifferent to the stagnation of the peace process in Angola. For these reasons, it is timely to urge the Government of Angola and UNITA to conclude the reconciliation process. Both are responsible for its success, and they must refrain from any measure that could lead to the resumption of armed struggle. In that context, we call on UNITA to exam the reasons that led the Security Council to consider new and exceptional measures today. Finally, we again urge President Dos Santos and Dr. Savimbi to meet in Angola with a view towards the future. In conclusion, we wish to express our appreciation for the efforts undertaken by the troika, composed of the United States, the Russian Federation and Portugal, and by the Secretary-General's Special Representative, Mr. Blondin Beye of Mali.”

18. “However, in the Secretary-General's last report, we read with concern that "The peace process in Angola is experiencing some of the most serious difficulties since the signing of the Lusaka Protocol." (S/1997/640, para. 38) The Secretary-General also points out that UNITA has not fulfilled the commitments undertaken in Lusaka nor the obligations stemming from Security Council resolution 1118 (1997). As a result, a climate of tension and distrust appears to have taken hold in the country. Confrontations have not ceased, troop mobilization activities have been reported and MONUA's verification work, especially in the areas controlled by UNITA, are subject to restrictions. In the political sphere, the extension of the State administration throughout the country is at a virtual standstill.”

19. “The inauguration of the new Government of Unity and National Reconciliation on 11 April, the participation of the UNITA deputies in the National Assembly and the initiation of the normalization of the State encouraged that hope. The replacement of United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM. III) by United Nations Observer Mission in Angola (MONUA) on 30 June signified recognition of the successful conclusion of one stage - the maintenance of peace in Angola - and the beginning of a new stage: the consolidation of peace and the social and economic reconstruction of the country. Despite these positive signs, important work remains. Nonetheless, we were confident that the leaders would be able in good faith to resolve their differences in good faith.”

20. “Mr. Petrella (Argentina)(interpretation from Spanish): Allow me to express my best wishes to you, Mr. President, and congratulate you on the manner in which you are conducting the Security Council. It reflects your personal and professional commitment to the search for consensual and pragmatic solutions which are characteristic of your country throughout its history. Allow me also to ask Ambassador Dahlgren of Sweden to convey my appreciation to his predecessor, Ambassador Osvald, because his presidency was an example of transparency and dedication. On 16 April of this year we participated in the Security Council debate with satisfaction. The hope for a future of peace, stability and dialogue seemed to be emerging on the Angolan horizon.”

22. “We also wish to state our willingness to rejoin this effort whenever necessary. Secondly, we wish to express our appreciation for the understanding displayed by the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China in overcoming their reservations on the continuation of an international presence of this new type in Haiti. Less than two weeks ago, through a presidential statement, the Security Council said that civilian police in peacekeeping operations carry our indispensable functions in monitoring and training national police forces, as well as in restoring civil order, supporting the rule of law and fostering reconciliation at the national level. It also pointed out the capacity of civilian police in such operations to prevent and contain conflicts and consolidate peace.”

23. “The report of the Secretary-General attests to the contribution of the United Nations Support Mission in Haiti (UN SMIH) to the political stabilization of Haiti. Nonetheless, we believe that the attainment of that objective will not depend only on the new United Nations presence, but also on the will and determination of all Haitian political forces. In this regard, the statement just made by the Ambassador of Haiti gives us cause for optimism and peace of mind. The deployment of the United Nations Transition Mission in Haiti will require two kinds of effort: one economic and the other political. First and foremost, our delegation wishes to thank the Member States that are voluntarily contributing money and personnel, especially the United States, Canada and countries from the developing world, to make this new Mission in Haiti possible.”

24. “Mr. Petrella (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish): Allow me first of all to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your excellent leadership of the work of the Security Council. I also wish to congratulate Ambassador Lavrov on the results achieved under his presidency in the month of June. Allow me also to join the Council in expressing, on behalf of the Government and the people of Argentina, the strongest repudiation of the tragic attacks in Jerusalem this morning. We offer the people of Israel our sincere feelings of solidarity. By adopting the draft resolution that is to be put to the vote, we will be renewing our assistance to Haiti for institutionalization and democratization.”

25. “III), to whose members we pay tribute. We are confident that, through its political, civilian police, human rights and military components, MONUA will make an important contribution for the Angolan people. We therefore support the draft resolution before the Security Council, by which it would establish the observer mission. I conclude by recalling that Angola achieved its independence through military and political struggles that took place in its territory and here in the United Nations, in the Special Committee on the Situation with Regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. In both arenas, a number of countries that sit on the Security Council played a constructive, key role. Today, the problem must be addressed with the same spirit and the same determination.”

26. “Having said that, I believe that we have reason to renew our appeal to the Government of Angola and to UNITA to resolve the issues that impede the implementation of the Lusaka agreements, to bring an end to tension in the North-East of Angola, to extend State administration throughout the country, and to move forward with demobilization. In that context, we believe that a meeting between President Dos Santos and Mr. Savimbi would be conducive to the common objective of peace. The opportunity that has arisen with the 11 April establishment of the Government of Unity and National Reconciliation should not be wasted. We are grateful to the Secretary-General for his most recent report, and we support the establishment of a United Nations observer mission in Angola (MON UA) to succeed the United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM.”

27. “I cordially congratulate the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the dialogue that has made possible the transfer of Hong Kong, which we have been following closely thanks to modern communications technology. Argentina is participating in this debate on Angola for the following reasons: first, because of our continuing commitment to international peace and security and our friendship towards the Angolan people and their democracy; secondly, because Angola is part of the Ibero-Lusitanian cultural community, with which Argentina itself is deeply identified; and finally, because we possess geographical links with Angola because of its Atlantic presence and its active participation in the zone of peace and cooperation of the South Atlantic.”

28. “Mr. Petrella (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish): I wish to begin, Mr. President, by conveying to you our most respectful greetings. You represent a country that has long played a central role in international affairs. The end of the cold war has enhanced your country's great capacity to have a decisive influence on events. For those reasons, and because of your own vast professional and personal experience, we are confident that you are ideally qualified to ensure that work on this item is crowned with success. I wish also to pay tribute to Ambassador Park of the Republic of Korea for the way in which he guided the work of the Council last month.”

29. “No person or political group is immune from public condemnation. The principles of the Charter of the United Nations should be disseminated today more than ever, especially in areas of conflict. Finally, we hope that this debate will enable the Council to adopt concrete measures that incorporate the suggestions that have been made. I wish to conclude with a tribute to all those who have lost their lives or suffered injury in the performance of humanitarian tasks under the auspices of the United Nations.”

30. “Argentina firmly supports the policy of restructuring the organs of the United Nations and of rationalizing financial and human resources that is being put into practice. On the basis of our regional and global experience on matters of humanitarian assistance we concur with delegations that have spoken of the need to obtain a clear mandate before a humanitarian action is undertaken. But that cannot justify inaction when the facts and public opinion demand immediate action. Coordination within the United Nations and appropriate follow-up to humanitarian action are also essential. A more prominent and visible role should also be devised for public information on all these matters. That will make it easier for countries to make contributions and more difficult for perpetrators of abuses to cling to their attitudes.”

    1997-05-21 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.3778Resumption1 (1997) · source

31. “Similarly, it should be clear that humanitarian action should be accompanied by political and diplomatic actions, and cannot be carried out without them. Such political and diplomatic endeavours are the very essence of the United Nations and are framed by the need to maintain international peace and security. The words of Mr. Akashi this morning were eloquent. Several delegations have spoken of the need to avoid impunity. Here again we are dealing with a delicate and complex matter. Fortunately, however, we can say that tribunals to try persons responsible for atrocities have already been created. The more effective such tribunals are, the more they will deter the kind of abuses that concern us. The Council could also seek a way to establish machinery that will make it possible to ascribe responsibility.”

32. “There are many elements that, in dealing with this type of crisis through collective action, should not be subordinated to any interests other than preventing harm and tragedy from befalling the civilian population. As we all know, this is a delicate matter that deserves the most careful consideration and sensitivity, because not all of us think alike. This matter is directly related to the evolution of the international system, which is today more integrated and interdependent, and to the changing nature of the issues that involve the Security Council. Moreover, within the limits of the Charter the Secretary-General's capacity for preventive action should be enhanced as one central aspect of his mandate.”

33. “Those proposals cannot be ignored, and it would be advisable for public opinion to have access to them. The numbers involved in this crisis speak for themselves. In recent years, the increase in refugees and displaced persons has been dramatic: their numbers have increased fourfold. The Office of the High Commissioner has estimated that today 21 million people are within its purview. The purpose of the Council and of the United Nations in general should be geared to improving its capacity to anticipate, provide against and prevent this type of humanitarian disaster. That should be reconciled with respect for international law and particularly for the limits imposed by the domestic jurisdiction of States, when appropriate.”

34. “There is no question that speedy action must be taken in such cases, but we should ask ourselves to what extent the Security Council should become involved. In the course of this debate, very relevant views have been expressed that can be useful in outlining a body of thought that may lead to a forward-looking answer based on past experience. However, to date public opinion has not come to believe that the concrete measures taken have achieved the goal of diminishing the scope of these kinds of crises. The experience of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has allowed her to formulate proposals conducive to concrete results. Accordingly, the important suggestions made during Mrs. Sadako Ogata's last visit to the Security Council deserve the most serious consideration.”

35. “Yasushi Akashi, Mr. Soren Jessen-Petersen, Mr. Stephen Lewis and Mr. Peter Kung, whose statements reflect not only the urgency of this question but also the need to devise new instruments that will enhance the effectiveness of the Council's action. Most of the items on the Security Council's agenda today have a very definite humanitarian component. That component derives from the many kinds of abuses perpetrated against civilian populations and from the existence of refugees and displaced persons. We deem significant the Security Council's stance on supporting the agencies and organizations devoted to responding to the plight of refugees and displaced persons by the means outlined in Chapter VII of the Charter. However, this is a complex matter that deserves further study.”

Secondly, this convening of an open debate on protection for humanitarian assistance to refugees and others in conflict situations provides us with an excellent opportunity to contribute to the work of this body. For this reason, we thank you, Sir, for your initiative and for the keen sensitivity that you and your predecessor, Ambassador Antonio Monteiro of Portugal, have shown in this regard. I believe that these deliberations will help to bring about a better understanding of the irreplaceable role of the United Nations in these changing times. I must also express my appreciation to Mr.”

(S/PV.3698 (Resumption I), p. 24) Today, once again, we feel at one with those States that are committed to the cause of peace, which Wish to give their support to the negotiating process that began in 1992, and want to preserve the climate of understanding that is required for that purpose.”

38. “The settlements in occupied territories run counter to international law and run counter to resolutions adopted by this Council in the past. Much progress has been made toward peace in the Middle East, and many lives have been sacrificed in that cause. Accordingly, the efforts and commitments of the international community should not waver but should rather grow stronger. We hope that at this stage the Israeli Government will refrain from adopting decisions that can lead to altering the de facto situation in Jerusalem or to hampering the success of the negotiations on the final status of that city. We should all be aware of the importance that Jerusalem has for the various cultures that have been a part of its history.”

39. “After only five months, the organ with the ultimate responsibility for world peace and security is obliged to meet to urge the parties not to depart from the peace process. In the resolution of any conflict, the antagonists must be parties to the peace process. That role not only carries obligations but alsocalls for specific attitudes, such as not altering the climate of understanding necessary to move ahead in any negotiation. The decision of the Israeli Government to build settlements in East Jerusalem is viewed with the greatest concern. Argentina shares that feeling, and we hope that Israeli politicians will reflect on the consequences that these measures are having on the future of the peace process.”

Likewise, I am pleased to extend our appreciation to the Permanent Representative of Kenya for his outstanding leadership of the Council last month. The work of Ambassador Mahugu not only does credit to him and to Kenya but also lends prestige to the developing world, My delegation is taking part in this Security Council debate with renewed sadness and concern.”
