1. “I should like to begin by expressing my delegation's appreciation for the diligent efforts made by the sponsors of this draft resolution. We are indeed gratified by the unity of purpose that has been demonstrated by the Contact Group countries in drafting it, which demonstrates their unwavering resolve, along with that of the rest of the international community, to end this terrible and tragic conflict, which has inflicted so much suffering throughout the region. Additionally, we are grateful for the Secretary-General's letter of 6 September 1995 to the President of the Security Council concerning the operations of the Mission to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia (ICFY).”

2. “We believe the mandates of the draft resolution foster the objective of national reconciliation while respecting Liberia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. My delegation appreciates the support and resolve of the international community, as demonstrated by the draft resolution, in their efforts to end this terrible and tragic conflict, which has inflicted so much suffering throughout the region. We are confident that the full implementation of the draft resolution will present the possibility for Liberia to put this tragic war behind it and move forward into the next century with a sense of hope, security, confidence, and prosperity.”

3. “The Indonesian delegation wishes urgently to reiterate the draft resolution's call on the international community to fulfil their respective financial obligations without hesitation. The current efforts by ECOMOG and other relevant United Nations agencies require considerable financial resources to ensure an uninterrupted implementation of the peace settlement. Without these financial commitments, the vast work that lies ahead will be delayed and contribute to further destabilization. We have every confidence that the draft resolution will be conducive to the continued cooperation and goodwill established by the Liberian parties that is essential to the successful outcome of this crisis.”

4. “However, we are confident that the circumstances that prevail in Liberia at this time warrant an extension of the UNOMIL mandate. We find the developments over the past several months in Liberia very encouraging. While much progress has been made, we feel that much more needs to be accomplished if lasting peace is to take hold. My delegation is confident that this proposed resolution clearly stipulates the need for the continued integrated international, regional and intergovernmental cooperation that this protracted crisis requires. My delegation is particularly supportive of the draft resolution's call for post-conflict peace-building. Without such efforts to encourage and provide electoral assistance and to facilitate the reconstruction of Liberia's economic infrastructure and institutions, a secure peace will be very much in doubt.”

5. “In this context, we commend the meeting of Liberian factions held in Abuja last August which culminated in the signing of the Abuja Agreement. We also recognize the hard work of the Liberian parties, the Monitoring Group of ECOWAS (ECOMOG), the Organization of African Unity (OAU), and the Liberian National Transitional Government, in contributing to the peace process. My delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution before us today, which decides to extend the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL) until 31 January 1996. We believe this draft resolution, initiated by the caucus, arrives at a very critical time in the peace process in Liberia. We are cognizant of the fact that 10 prior peace agreements have been signed and broken since hostilities broke out between warring factions in 1989.”

6. “Mr. President, may I first of all associate myself with earlier speakers in expressing my delegation' s congratulations to Ambassador Merimee on his appointment as France's representative to Italy, and to extend to him our best wishes. My delegation would like to express its appreciation to the Secretary-General for his informative report (S/1995/781), the twelfth in the series of progress reports on the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia. We would also like to express appreciation to the Secretary-General's Special Representative, Mr. Anthony Nyakyi, as well as to the leaders of the member States of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for their untiring efforts to bring about peace in Liberia.”
