  1. “We will vote in favour of this draft resolution. The United States will be prepared to take a decision on a possible United Nations peacekeeping operation in the Central African Republic by 16 March. We will consider whether the process of institutional, political, military and economic reforms in the Central African Republic could be assisted by the security umbrella that a peacekeeping operation could provide. We will study closely the Secretary-General's recommendations regarding the size, the mandate, the cost and the exit strategy of the proposed peacekeeping operation. We will give equal consideration to the commitment of the parties in the Central African Republic to the implementation of the Bangui Agreements.”

  2. “The United States commends the contribution of the President of Gabon, the former President of Mali, other African States and France to the consolidation of peace and security in the Central African Republic. In particular, we welcome the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Gabonese Republic: your presence here today underscores the importance of stability in the Central African Republic. Through the Inter-African Mission to Monitor the Implementation of the Bangui Agreements (MISAB), the international community has re-established security in Bangui, conducted an effective disarmament programme and helped create the conditions necessary for the implementation of the Bangui Agreements. For this reason, the United States fully supports an initial extension of the Chapter VII authorization of MISAB until 16 March.”

  3. “The United States asks all countries to join our efforts to increase the pace of demining in Angola and globally so that all landmines that threaten civilians can be removed by the year 2010. I would like to take this opportunity to commend the personnel of MONUA - those being withdrawn after a successful mission as well as those remaining in the country - for their contribution to securing a lasting peace for Angola.”

  4. “The United States believes that the Government of Angola's integrated police and armed forces should protect United Nations and other international personnel as MONUA transitions out of Angola. The United States endorses the Secretary-Generals appeal to the Government of Angola and UNITA, as signatories to the Lusaka Protocol, to consider ways in which they might provide additional in-kind and financial support to MONUA, particularly as the fulfilment of the peace process is achieved. In addition, we call on States to respond to the consolidated inter-agency appeal for Angola for 1998. In particular, the United States is concerned that only about 10,000 of an estimated 6 to 8 million landmines have been cleared from Angolan soil.”

  5. “At that time, the Council will be able to review the progress of the peace process and consider whether and how the international community could be of further assistance in a post- MONUA context. A related issue is the continued presence of Angolan Government forces in Congo-Brazzaville. We again urge the Government of Angola to withdraw its forces expeditiously. The United States looks forward to the day when the last United Nations military forces can be withdrawn from Angola and MONUA can become the unarmed observer mission it was originally intended to be. Even then, however, we recognize that security problems may remain. For that reason, this draft resolution asks the Government of Angola to take steps to assume the security functions that MONUA troops currently provide for United Nations and humanitarian personnel.”

  6. “Today, the United States will join other Council members in voting for a three-month extension of the United Nations Observer Mission in Angola (MONUA), including the retention of up to 1,045 military personnel. We believe that MONUA will help to promote a secure environment conducive to the implementation of the remaining tasks of the peace process. With the expected completion of the remaining tasks of the Lusaka Protocol by the end of February, the international community should review its engagement in and assistance to Angola. This draft resolution provides the needed flexibility by requesting a mid-term report in March from the Secretary-General.”

  7. “Sadry for his contributions since his appointment as Deputy Special Representative. The United States urges the Government of Angola and UNITA to comply strictly with the timetable for the completion of the remaining tasks of the Lusaka Protocol and, in the spirit of national reconciliation, to exercise restraint and protect the rights of all Angolan citizens as the implementation of the peace process proceeds. As we stated at the time of the adoption of resolution 1135 (1997), if UNITA moves rapidly to complete the remaining tasks in the peace process, the United States stands ready to reconsider the need for sanctions. The burden is on UNITA. UNITA and the Angolan Government will be able to count on continued international support during this critical final stage of the peace process.”

  8. “Today, the United States joins other members of the Security Council in welcoming the agreement by the Government of Angola and UNITA to a timetable for the completion of the remaining tasks of the Lusaka Protocol by 28 February 1998. This agreement, combined with the upcoming summit meeting between President Dos Santos and Mr. Savimbi in Angola in February, signals a renewed commitment by the Angolan Government and UNITA to end the decades-long conflict and to begin the work of national reconciliation and reconstruction. The fulfilment of the peace process is now in sight. I would also like to extend my thanks to the Secretary- General's Special Representative, Maitre Blondin Beye, for his devotion to the cause of peace in Angola. I wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to his return to Luanda. I would also like to commend Mr.”
