  1. “"The Security Council stresses that, following the termination of UNTAES, responsibility for the full reintegration of the Danube region lies clearly with the Croatian Government.

This statement will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/ 1998/6.

  2. “"The Security Council recognizes that, since the end of the UNTAES mandate, the performance of the Croatian police has been generally satisfactory, and in this context expresses its appreciation and support for the work of the United Nations civilian police support group. The Council notes, however, that public confidence in the police is low. The Council calls upon the Croatian Government to take measures, including through public information and police preventive action, to improve public confidence in the police as part of a wider programme of measures to prevent ethnically motivated crime and ensure the protection and equal treatment of all Croatian citizens, regardless of ethnicity.”

  3. “These steps should include measures to create the conditions to allow local Serbs to remain in the region, to facilitate the return of refugees and displaced persons and to address underlying practical and economic issues which inhibit returns. The Council calls upon the Croatian Government to: establish clear procedures for the documentation of refugees from Croatia; issue an equitable plan for nationwide two-way returns; implement fully and fairly its legislation on amnesty; act promptly to pass equitable property and tenancy rights legislation which would encourage returns and stimulate additional international reconstruction assistance; ensure fair employment benefit practices and equal economic opportunity; and ensure the non- discriminatory application of the rule of law.”

  4. “"The Security Council, recalling the statement by its President of 13 February 1998 (S/PRST/ 1998/3) and having noted the letter from the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Croatia of 5 March 1998 (S/1998/197), calls upon the Croatian Government publicly to reaffirm and by its actions to demonstrate its commitment to fulfilling its obligations under the Basic Agreement and other agreements in full, including through progress on national reconciliation at every level. In particular, the Council calls upon the Croatian Government to take prompt and unequivocal steps to ensure the safety, security and rights of all Croatian citizens and to build confidence among the Serb community throughout Croatia, including by providing promised funding for the Joint Council of Municipalities.”

  5. “The Council notes that the overall security situation in the Danube region remains relatively stable, but is particularly concerned about the increasing incidence of harassment and intimidation of the local Serb community in the region and the failure of the Croatian Government to apply the process of national reconciliation in an effective way at the local level. This worrying situation, together with recent statements by the Croatian authorities, cast doubt upon the Republic of Croatia's commitment to include ethnic Serbs and persons from other minorities as full and equal members of Croatian society.”

  17. “The lengthy consultations that took place recently and their present outcome clearly manifest the unity of this Council. The present resolution is a welcome idea. It has very important provisions which my delegation believes should be applauded in lending our support to it. In paragraph 1, the resolution clearly endorses and approves the noteworthy achievement of the Secretary-General. This resolution is not meant to address the question of automaticity. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. The Council will now hear statements under rule 37 of its provisional rules of procedure. The President: I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Egypt, in which he requests to be invited to participate in the discussion of the item on the Council's agenda.”

  18. “My delegation applauds this achievement. It has brought great relief to the world and will thus remain indelible in the annals of history of the United Nations. The present Iraqi issue has revealed how very peace- loving this world is, and thus we must always endeavour to give the world that which it cherishes: peace for humanity. We hope that Iraq will share the same sentiments. While we call on Iraq to comply with its obligations, it is our belief that this Council should be prepared to act should Iraq, as usual, violate its obligations under the Memorandum of Understanding and/or other relevant resolutions. My delegation wishes to take this opportunity to register our profound appreciation for the job done by the sponsors of the present resolution on Iraq.”

  19. “Reports reaching the Council, however, have revealed that Iraq has constantly obstructed the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) in the performance of its duties and denied the Commission access to the eight presidential sites it unilaterally declared as sensitive sites. The reports also reveal that Iraq is not just being obstructive, but also not transparent in its disclosures. It is the position of my delegation that Iraq must comply with its obligations or be made to comply. The Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Secretary-General and the Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq is a very welcome window of opportunity. We once again congratulate the Secretary-General for his heroic achievement. This is a clear manifestation that preventive diplomacy is the best solution to threats to world peace.”

  20. “I thank the representative of the Russian Federation for his kind words addressed to me. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the Gambia. The situation in Iraq and its relations with the United Nations have been very disturbing for a long time, and more particularly in the past few weeks. Following the ceasefire agreements of 1991, Iraq has been in constant violation of its obligations to the United Nations. Notwithstanding these violations, the United Nations has been considerate enough to put in place the oil-for-food programme, which was recently generously increased as per Security Council resolution 1153 (1998), a humanitarian gesture geared towards alleviating some of the hardship faced by the Iraqi people. This programme is apparently a successful one.”
