1. “It is our understanding that the Uaited Nations Iraq-Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission has taken a very technical and scientific approach and has demarcated the boundary based upon the historical background, various documents and maps, and was in no way impressed by political considerations. Japan welcomes the work of the Commission and urges it now to consider the Eastern section of the boundary, which includes the offshore boundary. We also urge Irag to join the work of the Commission so that Iraq is given full opportunity to explain its position.”

2. “Japan believes that the demarcation of the border between Irag and Kuwait at this time is essential to maintain peace and security in the region. Japan believes that this is essential in view of the fact that, when Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, it illegally claimed that Kuwait was a part of Iraq. My delegation is fully aware that any border dispute is a very sensitive issue, and that when a third party becomes involved in efforts to settle it, it should do so in a manner free of any political motives. If the demarcation is not effected in a fair and objective way, the dispute will surely erupt again.”
