  11. “If we look at the composition of the multinational force which is now being prepared for duty in East Timor, we see a rather different picture. The emphasis there is on the region, to be sure, but the multinational force for East Timor will, in the end, be a truly intercontinental operation. Would President Chiluba care to comment on that? He has called for additional resources, but he has not mentioned personnel. Do the African countries in general, and the signatories of the Lusaka Agreement in particular, envisage a peacekeeping force consisting of African troops, or is the composition of the force an open question? I now resume my function as President of the Security Council. I call on the representative of the Republic of Zambia to respond to the comments and questions.”

  12. “I should now like to put a question to President Chiluba in my capacity as representative of the Netherlands. Some members of the Council have referred to the distinction between the African and the non-African role. It is clear that some tasks are better tackled by Africa itself, whereas other duties may be in better hands with outside actors. I should like to ask a question that concerns this distinction. Based on our experience with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), we have somehow grown accustomed to thinking in terms of African peacekeepers partly financed by non-African donor countries. My question is whether this is the only conceivable division of work.”

  17. “Humanitarian assistance is not a substitute for effective political action. The Netherlands calls for a coherent and integrated approach to conflict prevention and conflict resolution in which the diplomatic, political, military, economic and humanitarian aspects, as well as development assistance, are treated as integral parts. In conclusion, I wish to confirm that the Netherlands subscribes to the views expressed by the representative of Finland on behalf of the European Union. I now resume my function as President of the Security Council. At the request of the Secretary-General, I call upon Mr. Sergio Vieira de Mello, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.”

  18. “As we suggested earlier this year, the Council could call upon parties to a conflict to involve the International Fact-Finding Commission established by article 90 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 1949. In relevant cases, this Commission could investigate breaches of international humanitarian law or facilitate, through its good offices, the re-emergence of an attitude of respect for international humanitarian law. It is also important that the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations maintain close cooperation on the issue of civilians in armed conflict. The Netherlands proposes that the Secretary-General's report be forwarded to the Red Cross Conference on this subject which will take place in Geneva in the beginning of November.”

  19. “In such conflicts, civilians are often the primary victims - not by accident, but because they are deliberately targeted or callously exploited as pawns in the political game. Restrictions on humanitarian access usually have a similar background. Innocent civilians are deliberately deprived of food and medicine as another move in the same political game. All this seems to be taken more and more for granted. Such practices blur the distinction between military and civilians and make warfare degenerate ever further into barbarity. The Security Council can contribute to a reversal of this trend. For one, better use could be made of existing instruments of international humanitarian law.”

  20. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the Netherlands. The Netherlands warmly applauds the Secretary- General's report. It was indeed a tour de force to prepare such an extensive and excellent report in just a few months. The report provides us with a very comprehensive overview of the issue on our agenda. In this connection, we also wish to express our appreciation to the delegation of Canada for having taken the initiative of discussing in the Security Council the issue of the protection of civilians. It goes without saying that the Netherlands will vote in favour of the draft resolution before us. The norm is that civilians must never be the victims of armed conflict. Reality, however, is steadily moving away from that norm. Most armed conflicts today are internal conflicts.”
