1. “President Clinton has made our position clear: The United States would consider supporting a peacekeeping operation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo if there were a comprehensive agreement among the belligerents to end the conflict and to observe a ceasefire. Any monitoring force should be limited in size; its mandate should be to observe and monitor, not to enforce the peace or to maintain the security of the Congo's borders. An internal Congolese dialogue is essential. A sound political process must be inclusive and open and have the confidence of all Congolese. By helping develop such a process, the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations can play an important role in building a stable, peaceful path to democracy and national reconciliation in the Congo.”
