  1. “After careful consideration and thought, and in the light of the ominous circumstances that prevail in Georgia, my delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution before the Council today, which extends the UNOMIG mandate for an additional six-month period. We look upon the UNOMIG mission as constituting a vital element in the peace process, especially in the wake of the current polarization of the two parties. Furthermore, it is our conviction that this draft resolution accurately addresses the concerns identified in the Secretary-Generals report. We caution, however, that while the draft resolution contains important instrumentalities for achieving a political solution to this crisis, a lasting peace cannot be imposed on the two parties.”

  2. “It is patently clear that their presence has exerted a constructive and stabilizing influence which has prevented another outbreak of uncontrollable hostilities with the attendant consequences. We are pleased to learn that the quadripartite meetings have resumed and that biweekly formal meetings with international and non- governmental organizations relating to areas of mutual concern and security are taking place. We are also encouraged by the additional measures implemented by UNOMIG and the CIS peace-keeping forces in the Gali region. In this regard, we deem it imperative that the parties live up to their commitments to provide the United Nations and CIS personnel with security and freedom of access so that they can continue to discharge their urgent and important tasks with minimal disruption.”

  3. “We therefore urgently request the Abkhaz authorities to accept the proposed timetable by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which would significantly accelerate the voluntary return of refugees and displaced persons. In addition, we call on the Abkhaz authorities to take the appropriate steps to fully cooperate with all relevant institutions assisting in resolving this crisis - including the good offices of the Secretary-General and the Russian Federation - to promote the expeditious and safe return of refugees and displaced persons. My delegation is hearted and encouraged by the close cooperation established between the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia and the Commonwealth of Independent States.”

  4. “My delegation is also of the view that as long as people are forced into eternal submission and deprived of their freedom of movement, enduring peace in Georgia will remain elusive. In this regard, we cannot but express our profound dissatisfaction with the Abkhaz authorities' continued position of intransigence facilitating an atmosphere that encourages the safe repatriation of displaced persons and refugees. In this connection, my delegation would like to recall the eighth preambular paragraph of the declaration of the 1994 CSCE Budapest summit, which condemns in no uncertain terms the use of ethnic violence.”

  5. “Furthermore, we note that during the current period of UNOMIG's mandate, virtually no progress has been made concerning the serious issue of displaced persons, while at the same time the situation on the ground remains unsettled and tense, placing the peace-keeping forces in harm's way. It is against this disappointing and frustrating background that my delegation strongly reaffirms the draft resolution's call for the parties to agree, without undue delay, to a framework that reflects the main tenets of this draft resolution for achieving a comprehensive political settlement to the crisis. In particular, we believe that the core elements of such a framework should be based on the premise of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia and of the rights of the multi-ethnic people of that country.”

  6. “My delegation therefore supports the efforts of Ambassador Brunner and his Deputy, Mr. Bota, along with the efforts of the Russian Federation; they have made a valuable contribution to the peace process. With the prospects of any major breakthrough remaining bleak at this time, my delegation appeals to the parties to refrain from any actions that might exasperate this already dangerous and volatile situation, which is poignantly portrayed in deplorable humanitarian conditions in which looting, beatings and torture have become an intolerable aspect of everyday life for many people.”

  7. “We also wish to express our gratitude to the Friends of Georgia for having prepared the draft resolution before us today. A well-deserved tribute is also due to the personnel of UNOMIG, the peace-keeping force of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Russian Federation for their combined contributions in deterring the further escalation of violence and for encouraging an environment conducive to reaching a political solution between the conflicting parties in Georgia. The Indonesian delegation, however, is seriously concerned about the current situation in Georgia as it is described in the Secretary-General's report. The protracted yet deadlocked peace process can be understood only in the gravest of terms.”

  8. “At the outset, allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the duties of the President of the Security Council for the month of January and to assure you of my delegation's full cooperation on the many important issues currently before the Council. My delegation is confident that your demonstrated leadership qualities will enable the Council to make substantial progress. I should also like to extend my congratulations to Ambassador Lavrov and his delegation for the exemplary way in which he presided over the work of the Council in the month of December. The Indonesian delegation would also like to express its appreciation to the Secretary-General for submitting the report on which our decision on extending the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) will be based.”
