  1. “Burkina Faso's thinking remains and still is ceatred on ECOWAS: its dedication to the community ideal, its desire for peace and cooperation with all States in the subregion and its hope that subregional joint efforts will enable the Liberians finally to lay the groundwork for a lasting peace. It is in renewing this dedication before the Security Council that wa join in the statement just made on behalf of the Comuittee of Nine of ECOWAS by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Benin.”

  2. “In considering the steps laid down on 7 November 1992 at Abuja, the Security Council would be able, with a view to restoring peace and security to Liberia and to the subregion, to consider all the necessary steps for a cease-fire among all the warring parties. It is essential that the entire process should be such as to ensure that, after the cease-fire is obtained, there will be no resumption of the fighting, that all the warring parties will be deprived of the means of financing their war-making machinery and that the Liberian people will have the final word in the resolution of this crisis through free and democratic elections.”

In that connection, in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs, and pursuant to the relevant articles of our Constitution, on 13 November I spoke before my country's Parliament and asxed that it authorize the addition of a Burkina Faso contingent te the ECOMOG troops. We support the implementation of the Yamoussoukro IV Agreement of 30 October 1991, confirmed by the Ganeva meeting of 7 April 1992, and thereby the organizing of free and democratic elections in Liberia.”

  4. “Accusations and complaints, in fact, have been made on both sides. We are convinced, again, that it is time to go beyond the stage of mutual recrimination and elaborate a common position, so that all together we might discharge our responsibilities to the Liberian people and the peoples of the subregion. That is why we are here today. Our conviction is that the situation in Liberia is first and foremost a Liberian matter; that we should not throw oil on the fire; and that no military solution covld responsibly be contemplated. Any dynamic for peace in Liberia should have as its first objective a Search for ways and means to resume dialogue among the Liberisns themselves, without outside interference, so that they may arrive at agreed solutions.”

  5. “As he stated, since July 1990 the Heads of State of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have been trying to find a solution to the crisis through many meetings. Burkina Faso took part in all of these meetings with the firm determination to arrive at a negotiated solution to the conflict. Nevertheless, it has not failed to express some reservations over certain measures and the manner in which they were implemented. To our mind, our concerns turned out to be well-founded. We have been the object of accusations, which we have answered, and since then Burkina Faso has given pride of place to a negotiated and peaceful solution to this conflict, even though we continue to be accused of actions that we are not responsible for. We remain convinced that pointing the finger at a scapegoat will not solve the issue before us.”

  6. “Mr. SANON (Burkina Faso) (interpretation from French): Allow me to join previous speakers in congratulating you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for November. I should also like to pay tripute to your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of France, Ambassador Merimee. A long and painful chain of events has brought us before the Council today to conside: along with members the agenda item entitled "The situation in Liberia". My colleague, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Benin, heads the delegation of our subregion and has just spoken on our behalf about the origins and developments of the situation in Liberia.”
