“My delegation warmly welcomes the new members of the Security Council. We particularly welcome you, Sir, in your role as President for this month and commend you for the way you have guided us thus far. We also congratulate Ambassador Li of China for his skilful leadership of the Council last month. New Zealand has given its full support to the urgent adoption of the resolution before the Council. The resolution is a crucial step towards one of the most important events of the year, if not the decade - the first truly democratic election in South Africa. Our support is consistent with New Zealand's long-standing desire to see an end to apartheid and the creation of a new and democratic South Africa on the basis of equality for all South Africans.”

“In that regard, New Zealand welcomes an initiative to convene a working group, which will include countries of the region, to begin work on a more comprehensive statement on the post-UNTAC United Nations presence.”

“As noted by the Secretary~General in his most recent report (S/26360), despite the major infrastructural improvements over the past 18 months, "massive reconstruction" is still required throughout the country. Mine-clearing remains an urgent priority. Much must still be done for the reintegration of refugees and displaced persons. The legal system must be re-established and measures put in place to ensure respect for human rights. In other words, while the future of Cambodia essentially lies in the hands of the Cambodian people, the end of UNTAC does not mean the end of the Cambodian problem or the end of the United Nations involvement in Cambodia, in accordance with the wishes of the new Cambodian Government. This is also an issue which must soon be addressed by the Security Council, in consultation with countries of the region.”

“We understand that the Secretariat will be holding discussions with the new Cambodian Government to ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place for these and any other elements of UNTAC which remain after the new Government takes office. New Zealand thanks all of the personnel of UNTAC for their commitment and dedication in carrying out the many tasks entrusted them under the UNTAC mandate. We particularly congratulate the Secretary-General's Special Representative, Mr. Akashi, and the UNTAC Force Commander, General Sanderson, on their role in the successful discharge of UNTAC's responsibilities. While a new Government for Cambodia is almost at hand, many aspects of Cambodia's legacy of fighting and repression remain.”

“New Zealand's vote in favour of this resolution confirms our support for the Cambodian peace process, which, we all hope, is shortly to reach a successful final conclusion. The adoption of this resolution, while essentially technical, marks an important milestone in the United Nations efforts to assist Cambodia in re-establishing a peaceful and stable Government. We acknowledge in the resolution that the mandate of the United Nations Transition Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) has virtually been discharged and that it will have effectively been discharged when the new Government takes office next month on the basis of the new constitution drafted by the Constituent Assembly. The resolution also notes that the military component of UNTAC will continue to have a presence in the country until its final withdrawal in November.”
