  1. “Today we call upon the parties to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina to engage in a process of reconciliation respecting the interests of the victims, the United Nations, the Security Council and the international community as a whole, with a view to adopting effective, concrete measures that will help put an end to the fighting and to the massacre.”

  2. “We call for effective action by the Organization, but we also call upon the parties to the conflict to begin true rapprochement, with commitment, to achieve a peaceful, lasting and just solution.7 A high priority must be the reconciliation of peoples which have coexisted for generations, as must respect for life, pluralism and ethnic, religious and cultural diversity. It is the responsibility of those who are now sowing desolation and terror to think about future generations. Finding rational ways towards a peaceful, permanent solution supported by the international community must be the legacy by which we build a State that can become an exemplar of tolerance, pluralism and democracy.”

  3. “On the basis of respect for the machinery of the Charter and for the accepted practices of the Organization, we recognize the efforts and the heroic mission of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR); we urge the Council to comply with existing resolutions, and we urge the international community to stand by a people that has been the victim of an atrocious tragedy. The international community cannot remain silent in the face of this conflict, with its appalling implications for the peaceful coexistence of peoples.”

  4. “In this case, the United Nations has the necessary tools, as stipulated in Security Council resolutions 824 (1993) and 836 (1993), to act firmly. We welcome the decision taken by the North Atlantic Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and we hope that the Serbs will meet the conditions laid down in that decision. By supporting General Assembly resolutions 46/242, 47/121 and 48/88, Colombia reiterated its call for a cease-fire, for respect for the independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, for compliance with United Nations resolutions and for respect for human rights, its condemnation of the practice of "ethnic cleansing" and its demand for an end to Serb terrorism. We agree with paragraphs 17 and 18 of resolution 48/88 of 20 December 1993.”

  5. “We recall that Article 24 of the Charter gives the Security Council primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. In the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Council should unguestionably and without delay shoulder its responsibility to prevent further massacres like the one carried out on 5 February against civilians in a Sarajevo market-place - a demonstration of Serb barbarism. The international community has tolerated this terrorism for too long. It has the moral obligation and the legal authority,6 granted by Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, to put an end to the situation and respond vigorously to this dizzying escalation of crimes against a defenceless people.”

  6. “In the past we have seen the United Nations take military action to protect the victims of massacres. We have also seen the United Nations impose and maintain sanctions in other areas as a contribution to resolving conflicts. So we wonder why it has taken so long for the international community to find the ways and means of halting the present massacre of the Bosnian Muslims. We have seen the Security Council meet on many occasions to consider the tragedy in Bosnia and Herzegovina and adopt numerous resolutions and presidential statements in response to the conflict. But, regrettably, despite the measures adopted by the Council, some of them under Chapter VII of the Charter, the United Nations has been unable properly to protect the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  7. “Mr. REY (Colombia) (interpretation from Spanish): Let me begin, Mr. President, by thanking you for having convened this meeting. I am pleased to see you in the Chair when the Council is gathered on such an important occasion. The Security Council is meeting today to put an end to the indifference and silence over the massacre of a defenceless people. We are nonplussed by the barbarities committed against a nation5 that is a State Member of the United Nations and the inability of the international community to put an end to the situation. The foreign aggression to which Bosnia and Herzegovina is a victim calls for a decisive United Nations presence. The tragedy of that people is of concern to all States Members of the United Nations, and the Organization cannot remain idle in the face of the conflict.”
