  1. “It is also important that the concentration camps be dismantled and that safety zones be created in order to ensure that those who have been deported and those who are without shelter can retura to their homes. The Security Council has adopted mavy resolutions aimed at putting an end to Serbian aggression and at protecting the independence and maintaining the territorial fategrity of the Bosnian State. All the reports show that these vasolutionr have not been fully implemented and that they have uot been sufficient to deter aggression by Serbia and Montenegro. We therefore believe that it ig necensary to take measures under Chapter VII of the Charter - in particular, under articles 41 and 42 - to put an end to this aggression.”

  2. “A special mission from my country visited a number of regions of Bogznia and Herzegovina and saw at first hand the suffering of the Bosnian people and the inhuman treatnent to which they are daily subjected through acts that run counter to the very fundamental rules of international conduct. The Secretary-General's report on the human-rights situation in the former Yugoslavia - document 8/24766, dated 6 November 1992 - and the information and evidence provided by regional and incerpational organizations further congirm the perpetration of atrocities by the Serbs. My delegation welcomes the Security Council resolution aimed at establishing a group of experts to consider and report on human-rights violations in Bosnia. In this context, the people who are responsible for these crimes must be brought to sustics.”

  3. “While the foternational comnunity has condemned Serbian aggression and the abominable practice of "ethnic cleansing" and has called for an insediate end to all breaches of the principles of international law, the suffering in Bosnia and Herzegovina goes on and is even worsening; arrests continue; binding resolutions adopted by the Security Council are not yet fully implemented; thousands of refugees are driven out of their homes and face an uncertain future; and famine and disease threaten those who live in the ruins of cities which, as is evidenced by archagological monwnents, used to be prosperous and civilized. As winter approaches, the need to ensure safety and shelter for the population becomes more urgent than ever.”

  4. “'The President of the Republic of Bosnia last month visited my country and was welcomed by His Highness the President of State. In this way, we expressed our position and our faith in the justice of their cause. My country has established a number of aid centres and our Red Crescent has played a basic role in providing humanitarian assistance in support of the Bosnian people.”

  5. “They will wonder what guarantees are there that further aggression will be deterred in future. Today's world, which, we had hoped, was going to be a world of peace and stability after the end of the cold war, is far from being a world of paace, justice and security because of the emergence of new forms of conflict and aggression, interference in the internal affairs of other States, and State policies characterized by hegemonistic designs, ethnic conflicts and new forms of raciam and nationalistic fervour. The tragic situation facing the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sad and painful example of this new situation. My country has condemned these abominable crimes and has adhered to the resolutions of the Security Council, It has provided to the people of Bosnia all possible material and moral assistance.”

  6. “It is therefore up to the Security Council fully to assume its responsibility for the maintenance of the independence and territorial 4ntegrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is a Member State of the United Nations. The Council must oppese the plan of genocide and extermination that the Serbian forces are trying to carry out through their continued aggression. Events have shown that the resolutions and the measures that have been adopted were not sufficient to deter the aggressor from occupying further territory in Bosnia and Herzegovina or from perpetrating further massacres and acts of expulsion from their territory against the population. The Security Council must assume this basic responsibility if it is to maintain its credibility. Otherwise, smaller and weaker States will be haunted by doubts.”

  7. “Thousands of innocent civilians of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including women, children and the elderly, have been killed because of their ethnic identity or religious affiliation. In addition, there has been massive arbitrary destruction of historic, religious and archaeological sites regardless of the enormous international efforts made and the role of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). Events over the past few decades have demonstrated that the use of force and aggression for political gain are doomed to failure. The Articles of the Charter prohibit the use of force and mandate the Security Council to deter aggression and prevent the aggressor from profiting from its acts of aggression.”

  8. “Ogata, for their statements which reflect the reality of the tragic situation in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Security Council meets to consider one of the questions of which it has been siezed for a long time now, namely the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. All preceding speakers heave been unenimove in etresaing the gravity of the situation in that republic and in highlighting its political, economic, social and human consequences which arise from the occupation and the acts perpetrated by the armed forces of Serbia and Montenegro against the people and the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Over the past few months, the world was severely shocked by the atrociousness of the measures and abominable practices which have resulted in horrendous human and material losses.”
