1. “We also wish to point out that the discussion we are having today deals only with demining in the context of peace-keeping operations. Other issues relating to land- mines fall in the category of disarmament and should therefore be discussed and considered by other United Nations bodies.”

2. “This situation has already drawn widespread attention from the international community, and demining has become an important component of many peace-keeping operations. Demining is a time-consuming undertaking that calls, first, for close cooperation by the parties concerned, as well as for adequate expertise and funds. The international community and Member States should therefore provide the necessary human, financial and material support for demining in the context of United Nations peace-keeping operations. At the same time, training for local demining personnel should be accelerated. We hope that, with the joint efforts of the international community and the close cooperation of the parties concerned, demining will be accomplished as successfully as other aspects of the mandates of United Nations peace-keeping operations.”

3. “One of the important factors contributing to the success or failure of United Nations peace-keeping operations is whether or not the parties concerned can cooperate closely with the United Nations and ensure the safety and freedom of movement of United Nations peace- keeping personnel. From the hinterland of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Inguri River of Georgia, from the rugged mountain paths of Angola to the Djeletovci oil field in Eastern Slavonia in Croatia, large numbers of mines have not only severely hampered United Nations peace-keeping operations, but also posed a serious threat to the safety of United Nations peace-keeping personnel and the local people, as well as to economic reconstruction in these areas.”

4. “Mr. Qin Huasun (China) (interpretation from Chinese): In recent years United Nations peace-keeping operations have made great efforts and achieved positive results in promoting the peaceful settlement of conflicts under different mandates of the Security Council. However, they are also confronted with many grave challenges, among which is the arduous task of demining in the theatres of operation of United Nations peace-keeping personnel. We therefore welcome the open debate on this question by the Council today and believe that it will contribute to more effective demining in the context of United Nations peace-keeping operations.”

6. “Therefore, we maintain that the provisions of international law on the non-use of weapons against civil aircraft should be respected; by the same token, those on the inviolability of territorial airspace and those against the abuse of civil aviation must also be observed. The Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has considered all aspects of this question and has adopted a resolution on it. We believe that this resolution is a balanced and fair one which represents the collective will of all the members of ICAO. Therefore, the Chinese delegation repeatedly emphasized during the consultations that the Council should base its actions on this resolution and adopt the same fair and balanced approach. We accordingly put forward reasonable amendments to the draft resolution before us.”

7. “Mr. Qin Huasun (China) (interpretation from Chinese): Civil aviation not only involves the safety of the people of all countries but is also closely related to the sovereignty of those countries, to which due attention should be paid. Therefore, the Council has considered the draft resolution before us on many occasions. The Chinese delegation expresses its regret over the casualties caused by the shooting down of the two civil aircraft. We are of the view that the principles of international law should be implemented in a comprehensive, fair and balanced manner. No country should apply selectivity to their implementation in accordance with its own needs.”

We feel this serves the basic interests of the two peoples, is beneficial to the development of relations between the two countries and assumes a positive significance in promoting the normalization of relations between the countries in the region and in maintaining the peace and security of the region.

We would like to express our appreciation to it. We have noted that, thanks to the joint efforts made by the international community, the situation in the former Yugoslavia region is moving towards stability. We would like to reiterate that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia should be respected by the international community.”

At present, the situation in Africa is, on the whole, moving towards stability, and its economy is beginning to improve. However, many countries are still plagued by civil strife, which has not only endangered stability and security in these countries and their neighbours, but has also hampered their development. The Chinese Government has consistently held that a stable and growing Africa is an indispensable and important part of a peaceful and prosperous world. The international community is duty-bound to take effective measures to help its people end the fighting and to find a political solution to their conflicts.”

We are of the View that the final settlement of the Liberian question depends solely on the Liberian people themselves. Only when the parties concerned truly lay down their arms and engage in patient and sincere negotiations and dialogue can there be a political solution acceptable to all parties; only then can the Liberian people enjoy peace again and set out on the road of reconstruction and development. Africa occupies an important position in the world and represents an important force in the international political arena. The African people, with a peace-loving and progress-seeking tradition, have always been a main force in maintaining world peace and stability.”

We fully support their decisions and strongly urge the parties to the conflict in Liberia to stop all hostilities immediately and cooperate with the United Nations and ECOWAS by strictly observing the agreements already reached and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, and by working for the restoration of peace. As the Secretary-General has pointed out, UNOMIL has played an important role in assisting ECOWAS to resume the peace process in Liberia. Together with ECOMOG, it can also promote the adoption of confidence- building measures, thus creating favourable conditions for the implementation of the Abuja Agreement.”

34. “The United Nations and the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL) have also made great efforts to that end. At one point these peace efforts were achieving some success. However, we have noted from the recent report by the Secretary-General that since early last month the situation in Liberia has further deteriorated, that conflict between various parties has continued and that Monrovia has almost become a dead city. This has seriously endangered the implementation of the Abuja Agreement and has made it hard for the general elections scheduled for this August to proceed on time. For lack of resources and manpower, the ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) is no longer able to provide safety guarantees to UNOMIL. We are deeply concerned about these developments. The Liberian peace process is now at a critical moment.”

35. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of China. The conflict in Liberia has been going on for six years. This conflict in western Africa has not only taken many lives and caused tremendous damage to the property of the Liberian people, but also poses a direct threat to peace and stability in neighbouring countries and in the region as a whole. Over the years, the members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have made unremitting efforts to end the fighting in Liberia despite their own economic difficulties. They have sent peace-keeping forces to Liberia in accordance with Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter. They have also offered good offices and mediation to find a solution acceptable to all parties, with a view to facilitating the peaceful settlement of the Liberian question.”
