“Also, the legal, political and economic institutions will also have to be strengthened by reaffirming the sway of human rights, boosting the professionalism of the Armed Forces and police and by giving priority to strengthening the judiciary. Lastly, the Salvadoran people are facing a critical phase now: the key responsibility for bringing peace, democracy and development lies with the Government and people of El Salvador, and we do not doubt that this fraternal nation will more than rise to the challenge before it in this historic opportunity.”

“In this, the programmes in the system that have operational activities - in particular the United Nations Development Programme because of its catalytic and coordinating role and the system's specialized agencies, particularly the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank - have a special role to play in the economic rehabilitation activities that characterize this phase of E1 Salvador's reconstruction process. Obviously, the efforts of the United Nations will continue with the same emphasis although their focus and direction will be different. Now is a time for capitalizing on the benefits of peace and democracy for economic and social development.”

“They have carried out the mandate entrusted to them is a responsible and serious manner and in a spirit of helpfulness. It should nevertheless be recognized that some undertakings provided for in the peace agreements have yet to be fulfilled. The small group of officials proposed by the Secretary-General will have to go on approaching the parties in their mission of good offices and verify that those areas where there has been partial progress continue to be prosecuted successfully, with the backing of the Government and of the Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional (FMLN). Also, the international community will have to continue its involvement by reactivating the promised cooperation so that El Salvador can strengthen its democratic institutions and solve its problems of economic growth and sustainable development.”

“Mr. Sersale di Cerisano (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish): The Council has just adopted a resolution that puts an end to the United Nations operation in El Salvador. The 30th of April 1995 is the date for the conclusion of an operation that can be called successful beyond doubt. It was a multifaceted mission that combined peace-keeping, observing, human rights promotion and protection and, first and foremost, consolidation of the peace after the conflict. Peace in the region of Central America as been strengthened through the efforts that the international community channelled into the United Nations Observer Mission in El Salvador (ONUSAL). That is why this is an opportune moment to pay homage to all those men and women who have participated in this joint effort.”

“Furthermore, the proposal to demilitarize Sarajevo, under guarantees from this Organization, deserves consideration as a means of providing security for that city in the context of the restoration of peace. At the request of the Government of the Republic of Croatia and in the context of the hostilities, which threaten to escalate the violence to new proportions, the Security Council has felt bound to decide to extend to that country the authorization contained in operative paragraph 10 of resolution 836 (1993) of the Security Council. In conclusion, to the Serb leaders of Bosnia who are reluctant to accept the agreement presented by the Contact Group we reiterate our appeal that they at last choose the peaceful and diplomatic path of settlement and abandon their attempts to achieve military solutions to the present conflict.”

“The Argentine Republic supports the resolutions the Security Council is adopting today on the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and takes the view that they are of particular importance at the present time. Circumstances have once again demonstrated the need to carry out an in-depth analysis of the minimum definitions of the safe areas regime. The Secretary-General, in this context, has issued a report (S/1994/555), which contains valuable proposals which we should consider and analyse. Defining the basic rules of interaction vis-a-vis such areas would lead to improvements for the populations living there, since they are the primary objective of the creation of the safe areas. Safe areas should remain free of armed attacks and be respected by all parties; hence no activities of a military nature should take place in those areas.”

“Since the beginning of the crisis, the Security Council has tried, through the deployment of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), to provide an impartial framework that would facilitate a solution and alleviate the situation of the civilian population. We therefore firmly condemn the fact that the proponents of war are maintaining their hostile attitude towards UNPROFOR, affecting its functioning and endangering its security. We believe that it is now more than ever vital to permit the fulfilment of the mandate of UNPROFOR, not as an objective in itself but on the understanding that it is an instrument created by our Organization to assist in the settlement of the conflict.”

“The Argentine Republic condemns the violation of the international border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina by military elements whose purpose is to destabilize both countries. It is particularly serious that air power has been used in the Bihac area, including extremely harmful bombs. This represents a flagrant violation of the resolutions of the Council and of the Charter of the United Nations. The inordinate levels of hostilities in this region make the possibility of a settlement more remote and demonstrate the illusions of certain leaders in seeking to establish ephemeral territorial control by means of force, in violation of international legitimacy. We are thus particularly concerned that Sarajevo is once again being subjected to attacks and deprivation.”

“Mr. Sersale di Cerisano (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish): The Argentine Republic fully shares the concern that the Council expressed in the presidential statement issued yesterday, which referred to the deterioration in the situation in the Bihac area of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The escalation of hostilities now taking place not only is detrimental to the general situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina but also threatens to cause greater imbalances in the Republic of Croatia. In these critical circumstances, we believe it is essential to work on the basis of unity of action in the Security Council. It is for this reason that, in the face of recent attempts to define the situation in terms of the increasing violence in the Bihac area, the Security Council has once again felt bound to take firm and harsh measures.”
