“Without prejudice to this position, my country pledges its support for all measures directed towards restoring and strengthening democracy in the fraternal Republic of Haiti by peaceful means.”

“We do not believe that the internal political situation in Haiti projects externally in such a way as to represent a threat to international peace and security. Moreover, we believe that the search for a peaceful solution has not been exhausted. This is precisely the objective of the application of sanctions against the dictatorship which is so unjustly afflicting the Haitian people. For these reasons, Uruguay stresses on the need to pursue avenues of dialogue and negotiation which have still not been exhausted. We wish to reiterate explicitly, in the framework of a restrictive interpretation of the principle of non-intervention, that Uruguay will not support any military intervention in the fraternal Republic of Haiti, whether it be of a unilateral or multilateral nature.”

“Therefore, whenever, in this forum, the application of Chapter VII of the Charter has been considered in situations where, in our opinion, the necessary conditions for its application were not clearly present, Uruguay has always expressed its position unambiguously. Our invariable compliance with the principles we have named has always prompted us to support and advocate a restrictive view of the application of the enforcement measures provided for in the Charter. Thus although - with a view to the restoration of law, order and democracy in a fraternal nation - we have unswervingly supported the imposition of economic sanctions in accordance with Article 41 of the Charter, we do not support the application of military action provided for in Article 42.”

“Two fundamental principles have governed the foreign policy of Uruguay throughout its history: the principles of non-intervention and of the peaceful settlement of disputes - the latter a concept incorporated in the Constitution of the Republic of Uruguay. The universal validity of these principles and their constant consolidation in relations between States are the unrelenting objectives of our foreign policy. Our position on this is complemented by another fundamental principle that Uruguay has traditionally upheld: that of the rule of international law. The interrelationship between these principles shapes our analysis of the various international situations and conflicts and guides our defence of the interests of the Republic of Uruguay and - we are convinced - of the international community as a whole.”

“Mr. Piriz-Ballon (Uruguay) (interpretation from Spanish): For my delegation, Sir, to congratulate you on the success with which you have presided over the work of the Security Council throughout this month is not a mere formality, but a sincere expression of our gratitude for your well-known talent and experience. I wish to express my delegation's appreciation for the opportunity to participate in this debate. My country, a Founding Member of the United Nations and an enthusiastic participant in its work, could not be absent today, and I would like now to explain why we have asked for this opportunity to be heard.”
