“We have information that a meeting was held yesterday, 28 July, between the Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan and the Deputy Prime Minister of Nagorny-Karabakh, with the participation of leaders from their Ministries of Defence, Security and Internal Affairs. It was agreed at that meeting to extend the cease-fire for an additional seven days and to hold a summit meeting very soon between the leaders of the Azerbaijani Republic and of Nagorny-Karabakh. Russia has always advocated direct contacts between the belligerent parties; we believe these are extremely important for starting a political dialogue, for achieving an overall solution and, in the initial stages, for putting in place a cease-fire.”

“The Russian Federation's position, as was confirmed in the statement of its Minister for Foreign Affairs dated 24 July, continues to be to call for an immediate cease-fire and compliance with Security Council resolution 822 (1993) and the proposals of the Minsk Group of the CSCE as bases for a political settlement in Nagorny-Karabakh. It must, however, be noted that there have been some positive developments in the situation with respect to the Nagorny-Karabakh conflict; the main ones are the establishment of direct contacts between the parties and the beginning of bilateral dialogue between the leaders of the Azerbaijani Republic and Nagorny-Karabakh.”

“Mr. VORONTSOV (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): The Russian leadership is deeply concerned at the offensive actions taken by armed units of Nagorny-Karabakh Armenians, as a result of which the Azerbaijani town of Agdam, lying outside the boundaries of Nagorny-Karabakh, was seized. All this is happening at a time when we have seen real progress in the negotiating process, as is borne out by the results of the recent visit to the conflict zone by Mr. Mario Raffaelli, Chairman of the Minsk Conference of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE). These actions have been taken despite assurances to the Russian side by official Armenian representatives that no ground offensive operations by units of Nagorny-Karabakh Armenians would be undertaken and that they did not intend to attack Agdam.”

“We are trying to help establish a framework for a successful conclusion to the negotiating process, one that would preserve the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is composed of its three communities. This must be achieved by civilized means, not by diktat or force. Only in that way can we quench the fires of war and restore peace to the lana of Yugoslavia, which has suffered so greatly. Russia continues to support the concept of safe areas and of building up an international presence in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as one way of making progress towards a peaceful settlement. Adopting a resolution lifting the arms embargo could actually neutralize the entire United Nations operation in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“To the extent possible, whatever is done must be based on the experiences, concepts and principles of the London Conference, the Vance-Owen plan and the Washington Joint Action Programme. We must preserve the requirement for agreement or consensus on international action on matters related to Bosnia; this is an absolute prerequisite for reaching and implementing any Bosnian settlement. We were pleased to note that the decision taken on 22 June by the European Council was largely consonant with that approach. We support the peacemaking efforts of the international mediators, Lord Owen and Mr. Stoltenberg, and are willing to participate actively in promoting a settlement, including further efforts by the special representative of the President of the Russian Federation to the talks on the former Yugoslavia.”

“We must understand that there is simply no alternative to such a settlement. Any attempts to impose a decision by military means or by force would simply lead to further fratricide and devastation. In our view, any settlement in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina that is to be lasting and viable must take account of the following points: there must be a real cessation of hostilities by all parties, with very firm measures against those who violate the cease-fire; full account must be taken of the legitimate concerns of all three parties; the territorial integrity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be preserved, irrespective of what decision is taken on the country's internal structure - federation or confederation; there can be no recognition of the consolidation of territorial or other gains won by force or through "ethnic cleansing"; and the parties must make possible full implementation of all relevant resolutions and decisions of the Security Council, including those related to the security of United Nations peace-keeping forces and cf humanitarian-assistance deliveries.”

“It is clear that under such circumstances it would be impossible to ensure implementation of the decision taken by the Security Council to create safe areas and to adopt other measures to limit or end the conflict. Such developments wouid essentially be the exact opposite of what is currently a possibility: achievement of agreement between the Bosnian sides on a settlement of the conflict. The first round of talks between the parties in Geneva shows that in direct contacts with each other they may find ways of reaching agreement, elaborating new approaches in keeping with the present realities. We believe that in the near future during their further talks they will be able to move forward and achieve a definitive settlement. The Security Council cannot allow this real chance of finding a political settlement to be lost.”

“The Russian delegation has already had occasion to draw the attention of the authors of the draft resolution to the fact that lifting the arms embargo on the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina would push that country into an even bigger war and lead to a sharp deterioration of the situation and an increase in the hostilities, the bloodshed, the suffering and the death of the civilian population on a scale unprecedented to date in that country. Moreover, there would be a real danger that the conflict would spread beyond the boundaries of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that neighbouring countries would become directly involved. The decision would place insuperable barriers in the way of efforts by the international community to find a resolution to the conflict and to ease the situation of hundreds of thousands of people.”

“This could lead to results completely the opposite of the goals proclaimed in the draft resolution by its authors. Adopting the draft resolution could set off a chain reaction of military and political steps by the Bosnian authorities which could fan even more the fire of military action. The Geneva negotiating process, with the participation of all three Bosnian sides, would be jeopardized, as would the United Nations operation iu the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole and the security of the contingents of Member States of the United Nations currently deployed in that country.”

“Mr. VORONTSOV (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): The delegation of the Russian Federation cannot accept draft resolution S/25997. The position of principle of the Russian Federation on the Bosnian crisis is that we should aim for a halt to the war as soon as possible, achieving a political settlement and speeding up the process of seeking a formula for a peaceful settlement which would satisfy all three sides within the context of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Implementing the proposal in the draft resolution to lift the arms embargo on the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina would not increase the chances of achieving such a settlement; on the contrary, it would simply open up the floodgates for an escalation of the war in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“Mr. VORONTSOV (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): We are grateful to the Permanent Representative of the United States, Ambassador Albright, for the detailed information she has given us. We listened closely and attentively to the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Iraq to the United Nations, Ambassador Hamdoon. In the view of the Russian leadership, the actions by the United States are justified since they arise from the right of States to individual and collective self-defence, in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations. We hope that a mutually acceptable solution will be reached without any kind of military escalation in regard to this bilateral problem.”

“We call upon them to become aware of the full gravity of the situation and to embark on the course of cooperation with the United Nations Protection Force in the process of implementing the Security Council's resolutions on safe areas. These parties must clearly realize that if they refuse such coopoeration this will involve the adoption of new, tougher measures, none of which is either predetermined or ruled out.”

“Thus, a specific, concrete step is being taken to implement that decision, whose purpose is to put an end to bloodshed, to allay the suffering of the civilian population and to stabilize the situation. The idea of safe areas is an important element in the programme adopted in Washington on 22 May this year by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Spain, the Russian Federation, the United Kinaqdom, the United States and France - a programme of joint actions aimed at exploring ways and means of extinguishing the Bosnian conflagration and establishing a stable and lasting political settlement. We share the Secretary-General's view that the implementation of the decision to set up safe areas must be predicated upon the consent and cooperation of all the Bosnian parties.”

“Mr. VORONTSOV (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): The Russian Federation was a co-sponsor of the important resolution just adopted by the Security Council, which envisages specific measures to provide for the security of the safe areas in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are grateful to the Secretary-General for his report in document S/25939, which was prepared pursuant to Security Council resolution 836 (1993). We believe that the recommendations in that report are an excellent basis for the initiation of the implementation of the Council's decision to establish safe areas in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“We would like to express our hope that, given the willingness of the Cambodian people to show restraint and engage in dialogue, those efforts will lead to the formation of a representative coalition Government. There are today in Cambodia the necessary concrete preconditions for achieving the main goal of the Paris process: the restoration of peace on the basis of national reconciliation and the formation of a new Cambodia - a sovereign, independent, neutral and territorially integral State that respects human rights and maintains good-neighbourly relations with all countries of the world. We believe that the international community's efforts will have the utmost effect in the realization of this objective and in the successful completion of the United Nations operation in Cambodia.”

“Russia attaches great importance to this historic event in the life of Cambodian society, which lays a democratic foundation for its future development. We see it as an important factor for peace and stability not only in Cambodia but in South-East Asia as a whole. In this exceptionally delicate period of transition towards the establishment of a new power structure in Cambodia, it is essential for all sides fully to live up to their obligations and to respect the results of the elections. In this regard we note the principal role of the efforts of His Royal Highness Prince Norodom Sihanouk in bringing about national reconciliation.”

The Russian side fully respects the Cambodian people's free expression of self-determination and recognizes its results. We should like to pay due tribute to the Secretary-General, his Special Representative Mr. Akashi, and to the personnel of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), which contributed its utmost towards bringing about this exceptional expression of self-determination by the Cambodian people.”

We look forward to the report of the Secretary-General, and we hope that those who harboured concerns will demonstrate readiness to cooperate in the implementation of the measures set out. in the resolution and to promote a real shift towards a political settlement of the Bosnian crisis. Otherwise, as the Washington programme emphasizes, its parties are by no means closing off the possibility of adopting other, tougher measures, none of which has been prejudged or can be excluded from consideration.”

In so doing, the Council has taken yet another concrete step towards the implemention of the joint action programme adopted in Washington on 22 May by the Foreign Ministers of Spain, the Russian Federation, France the United Kingdom and the United States of America This programme, as we are aware, must give Significant impetus to the process of settlement in Bosnia and Herzegovina and stabilize the situation in the other critical areas of the former Yugoslavia.”

We request the Permanent Representative of Pakistan, Ambassador Marker, to convey our deepest condolences to the people and the Government of Pakistan, and particularly to the bereaved families of the United Nations peace-keepers from Pakistan.

“We hope that all parties to the conflict will show a readiness to cooperate on the basis of the resolution just adopted, which is to become an important stage in creating the preconditions for the consistent implementation of the Peace Plan. Only a cease-fire, and only the curbing of violence - and this is the main purpose of the resolution adopted today - can lead to a genuine movement towards a peaceful settlement of the Bosnian crisis. For its part, the Russian Federation will continue its most active efforts, collectively and bilaterally, to promote a speedy, peaceful solution to the Yugoslav crisis.”

“the Russian delegation is firmly convinced that the implementation of this resolution will be an important practical step by the world community genuinely to curb the violence and to stop the shooting on the long-suffering land of the Bosnians. Henceforth, any attempted military attacks, shooting and shelling of safe areas, any armed incursions into those areas, and any hindrance to the delivery of humanitarian assistance will be stopped by United Nations forces by using all necessary measures, including the use of armed force. This will be an important factor for stabilizing the situation in these areas and for lessening the suffering of the civilian population.”

“It is also an effort not to allow the international community to be drawn into a military solution to the problem, because that leads to a dead-end, to new victims and to destruction. The tragic events in recent days in a number of places in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina which were declared safe areas by Security Council resolution 824 (1993), and the endless suffering of the Bosnians, who have been deprived of the most elementary means of existence, make it necessary immediately to expand the mandate of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in order to ensure, in practice, the safe areas regime, and in particular to deter aggression, to monitor the cease-fire, and to allow for the unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance.”

“It confirms readiness to continue humanitarian assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina; it approves the concept of safe areas; and it clearly sets out the issues with respect to sealing the boundaries of that country, including through the use of international observers. The participants in the Washington meeting reaffirmed the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force by the parties to the conflict. All of this constitutes real steps necessary to promote stability in the former Yugoslavia. But the Washington programme does not exclude the adoption of new, firmer measures: nothing has been ruled in or ruled out. The core of the five-party declaration is the effort to maintain the process of the Yugoslavian - and primarily the Bosnian - settlement within political boundaries.”

“That programme is intended to give the settlement process in Bosnia and Herzegovina a chance to catch its breath, and to stabilize the situation in other critical areas of the former Yugoslavia. In their proposals, which supplement earlier political approaches, the participants in the Washington meeting set themselves a goal taking into account the dynamics of the situation: the pragmatic search for ways to quench the Bosnian fire and achieve a lasting political settlement on the basis of the unconditional preservation of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a Single State. The cornerstone of the Washington programme is the advisability of step-by-step, consistent implementation of the Vance-Owen Plan. The programme is a balanced package of actions in various areas, and is addressed to all parties to the conflict.”

To that end the resolution sets out a serious package of very effective and genuinely practicable measures. Thus, the Security Council has taken a concrete step towards the implementation of the joint programme of action adopted at Washington on 22 May by the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of France, the Russian Federation, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.”

“Akashi for his work in heading it. The elections were to a large extent possible thanks to the commitment and resolve of the members of UNTAC, despite the Significant difficulties and risks involved in their work. We voted for adoption of the resolution as a necessary step towards consolidating the democratic process and ensuring national conciliation in the country. We believe that at this stage it is extremely important for the Security Council to give a signal to all the Cambodian parties as to the need to recognize, respect and abide by the results of the general elections, to show restraint and willingness to enter into dialogue and to establish a broad representative coalition Government.”

An important step has been taken towards ensuring that the Cambodian people can freely and by the most democratic methods - at the ballot box - make their own choice as to what form of State structure they will have in order to establish a Government which must become the sole, sovereign power for all of Cambodia. The extremely high percentaye of Cambodians participating in the voting shows that they are ready for this. We pay tribute to the outstanding efforts made by the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), which prepared for and held the elections in difficult circumstances. We also thank Mr.”

“, When the Abidjan negotiations were halted on 21 May 1993, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Miss Anstee, expressed the hope that it would be possible eventually to overcome the differences, resume the negotiations and reach agreement on a cease-fire. We too nope that the leadership of UNITA will be able to display the necessary political realism and responsibility, and return to true 'interaction with the Government of Angola with a view to achieving an immediate cease-fire and a just and lasting settlement in that country on the basis of the Bicesse Accords and relevant resolutions of the Security Council.”

“On 21 May 1993 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation issued a statement on the situation in Angola: it welcomed the decision of the United States Administration to recognize the legitimate Government of Angola and emphasized that "that step was in full accord with the efforts Russia has peristently made both in the context of the 'troika' of observers - Portugal, the Russian Federation and the United States of America - and in the Security Council, striving to achieve recognition of the new political reality in Angola following the democratic elections held there in September 1992". We wish to pay a tribute to the Government of Cete d'Ivoire and its President, Mr. Felix Houphouvet-Boigny, for their important work aimed at securing success for the Abidjan peace negotiations.”

“UNITA's resumption of hostilities confirms the fact that that organization and its leadership still do not wish to move in the direction of national conciliation and completion of the electoral process under United Nations auspices, but are endeavouring to solve the problem by military force, seeking to entrench their power in the country by force of arms, despite the fact that that road can lead only to failure. As a result of these actions, the country is now on the brink of national disaster; the Angolan people have become hostage to a civil war that has caused many casualties and much suffering for the peaceful population, and a sharp deterioration of the humanitarian situation, In these circumstances, the international community has articulated a policy of principle aimed at getting the settlement process back on track.”

“The negotiations took place over several weeks, with the participation of the Secretary-General's Special Representative and observers from Portugal, the Russian Federation and the United States. The basic reason for the lack of success of the negotiations lies in the, frankly, unconstructive approach adopted by the leadership of UNITA, and personally by Mr. Savimbi, to the process of a peaceful settlement. . The situation is worsened by the fact that recently in Angola the armed forces of UNITA have again launched military operations that have resulted in many human casualties and have jeopardized the possibility of a peaceful political settlement to the Angolan crisis.”
