1. “While thanking the international community for the assistance so far rendered to Angola, we join the Secretary-General in inviting the donor community to fulfil the pledges made at the 1995 Brussels Round Table Conference. In the short term, such assistance can only assist in ensuring that the peace that currently exists in Angola holds. In conclusion, we welcome the adoption of resolution 1087 (1996) and support the extension of the mandate of UNAVEM. III to 28 February 1997. We also wish to acknowledge, and pay tribute to, the untiring efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative, Mr. Alioune Blondin Beye, the personnel of UNAVEM. III, and all those whose humanitarian work has once again demonstrated that in togetherness much can be achieved in the service of peace in Angola.”

2. “My delegation is, however, pleased to note the declaration by UNITA that it has quartered all combatants, except for a few police officers. We further welcome the announcement made by the Government of Angola regarding the formal incorporation of nine UNITA generals into the national army. We take note of the plans of the Secretary-General regarding the downsizing of the UNAVEM. III military units. We find paragraphs 30 to 33 of his report particularly informative. We have every confidence in the Secretary-General's judgement, and look forward to his further elaboration of these issues in his next report to the Security Council. The reports of the Secretary-General are also quite clear on the resources required to carry out the many activities aimed at bringing Angola back to normalcy.”

3. “We have no doubt that the clear message contained in that resolution played an important catalytic role. It is, however, clear from the two reports that many aspects of the Lusaka Protocol remain to be accomplished for peace to be fully established and for the war-tired people of Angola to resume their normal lives. Since time is of the essence, the days ahead are critical, requiring magnanimity and the extra resolve of all the players concerned. We urge all the parties, particularly UNITA, to carry out all their obligations under the Lusaka Protocol, in good faith and within the agreed time schedules. We also implore them to desist from making any moves that would affect negatively the gains already achieved and, indeed, jeopardize the whole peace process.”

4. “Allow me, Mr. President, to congratulate you and wish you well on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of December. I also congratulate your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of Indonesia, who was President for the month of November. We meet once again today to consider the situation in Angola, a matter of great importance to my delegation and all who come from that part of the region. We welcome the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM. III), as contained in document S/ 1996/ 1000 of 2 December 1996, as well as the interim report of 19 November 1996 contained in document S/1996/960. We are encouraged by the progress achieved since the adoption of Security Council resolution 1075 (1996) on 11 October 1996.”
