44. “In that connection, we would note that the resolution adopted provides for close coordination between the multinational force and the advance team of the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH), for monitoring by United Nations observers of the operations of the multinational force and for verifying, as provided for in the Secretary-General's report of 15 July 1994, "the manner in which that force carried out the mandate conferred upon it by the Council" (S/1994/828, para. 23) Of great importance in this connection is the request contained in the resolution to the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council on the activities of the advance team of the United Nations Mission in Haiti. The Russian Federation supports the concept in the resolution of a two-phase operation.”

45. “In these circumstances, the resolution we have just adopted was a difficult but necessary step that bore witness to the determination of the Security Council to put an end to the protracted crisis in Haiti and to ensure the implementation of the decisions adopted earlier by the Council. In voting for this Security Council resolution, the Russian Federation took into account the fact that it enjoyed the support of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The Russian Federation attaches great importance to the total transparency of the operation authorized by the Security Council for a multinational force in Haiti. Such transparency is essential to ensure complete confidence in the actions of the multinational force by the international community and support by the international community for that operation.”

46. “These actions constitute a direct violation of the demands of the Security Council for the implementation in its entirety of the Governors Island Agreement. The Haitian military junta threw down the gauntlet to the international community when it announced recently the expulsion of the joint United Nations/Organization of American States (OAS) International Civilian Mission (MICIVIH), whose mandate had been extended by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 8 July 1994. The junta is in this way attempting to conceal from view its flagrant violations of human rights. Clearly, the Security Council cannot continue to countenance a situation which was quite rightly described by the Secretary-General as intolerable.”

47. “Mr. Vorontsov (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): Like other members of the Security Council, the Russian Federation is gravely concerned at the constantly deteriorating situation in Haiti. The reports of the Secretary-General of 15 and 26 July 1994, documents S/1994/828 and S/1994/871 respectively, clearly show that the dangerous course of events in Haiti is a direct consequence of the actions of the illegal military regime that continues to trample underfoot the rights of the Haitian people, inflict violence and terror, and prevent the restoration of the legitimate civilian Government and the return of the President duly elected by the Haitian people: Mr. Jean-Bertrand Aristide.”

49. “As we have repeatedly emphasized, the peace-keeping operation in Abkhazia is not a goal in itself but, rather, an indispensable condition for accelerating the process of a comprehensive political settlement to the crisis and finding a solution to the humanitarian problems it has spawned - above all, that of the refugees and displaced persons, who should have a dignified and safe return to their homes. The Russian delegation assures the members of the Security Council that the Russian Federation, as the facilitator in the political negotiating process under the aegis of the United Nations and as a party to the Quadripartite Agreement on the voluntary return of the refugees, will continue to make every effort to find a speedy solution to all unresolved problems.”

50. “Such a fund is extremely important, given the enormous expense entailed in the implementation of the Agreement, in demining and in the establishment of conditions for the return of refugees. The Russian Federation attaches great significance to the resolution's provisions reflecting the intrinsic link between peace-keeping activities in the region of the conflict and efforts to achieve a comprehensive political settlement and a solution to the drastic problem of refugees and displaced persons.”
