  1. “In adopting this resolution, the Security Council has affirmed the judgement of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative that the elections in Cambodia were free and fair. This was also the judgement of over 1,600 international election monitors as well as numerous independent election observers. In fact no one, apart from some members of one Cambodian party which was disappointed with the results, has challenged this judgement. These elections represent a remarkable demonstration of the Cambodian people's desire for peace and democracy, despite threats, violence and intimidation. The Cambodian people clearly showed that it would not be deterred by violence and intimidation, whether committed by the State of Cambodia or by the Khmer Rouge.”

  2. “In unanimously adopting this resolution, the Security Council has endorsed the conduct of the elections and has reminded all the parties of their obligation to respect fully the results. The United States calls on all Cambodian parties to emulate Prince Sihanouk's leadership and declare their intention to respect the outcome of the elections, so that Cambodia may now pursue peace and national reconciliation. The United States would again like to express its congratulations and appreciation to the dedicated men and women of UNTAC; to the Secretary-General's Special Representative, Yasushi Akashi; and to the Cambodian people for the inspiring success of these elections.”

  3. “First, Mr. President, my delegation would like to welcome your leadership of the Council this month and to express its profound gratitude to the representative of the Russian Federation for his wise and excellent guidance of the Council's activities over the past month. The Secretary-General's Special Representative has stated that the conduct of the elections has been free and fair. My Government strongly shares and supports that judgement. To the naysayers who have focused on the problems of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), I Say: these elections have been a resounding triumph for the Cambodian people, for the United Nations and for the principles of democracy. By turning out to vote in overwhelming numbers, the Cambodian people have spoken loudly and clearly of their desire for peace and democracy.”

  4. “While the international community has a duty to encourage the parties to reach such a settlement, we must also demonstrate that signing pieces of paper without an intent to implement them is not enough. By showing our will to enforce agreements, the Council has today demonstrated our commitment to peace and our resolve to end the conflict.”

  5. “The credibility of the United Nations and its entire approach to resolving this conflict rests on its willingness to act strongly and . effectively, as we are doing through this resolution. We repeat that the United States deplores Serbian aggression against a State Member of this Organization. We will not recognize Serbian attempts to change international borders by force. We will do all in our power to ensure that those who commit unspeakable violations of human rights and international humanitarian law against innocent civilians are brought to justice. This resolution should send the message that if the Bosnian Serbs want to rejoin the family of nations, their behaviour must conform to international norms. We will accept nothing less.”

  6. “The aerial bombing of Bosnian Government targets by Bosnian Serb forces on 11 March of this year, which the Council eloquently and aptly condemned in its statement of 17 March, is but the latest flagrant violation of the London Conference agreement and the subsequent Security Council resolution on the no-fly zone. , These bombing attacks follow more than 400 other apparent violations since the Council adopted resolution 781 (1992) in October 1992. Confronted with these violations, and the Bosnian Serbs' determination to flout the will of the Council with impunity, we had no choice but to act now. The Bosnian Serbs must understand that this resolution is evidence of the international community's growing concern and intolerance of their acts of aggression.”

  7. “The United States strongly supported, and indeed co-sponsored, the resolution which the Security Council has just adopted. As members of this Council are already aware, the United States has long been in favour of such a resolution and has worked vigorously in recent days for a resolution that would unequivocally demonstrate the international community's will to enforce resolutions of this Council and agreements signed by the Bosnian parties. As members of this Council remember, all the Bosnian parties agreed to a ban on military flights over Bosnia at the August 1992 Conference that was chaired by Lord Carrington. The ink was hardly dry on that agreement before violations - the overwhelming majority of which have been carried out by the Bosnian Serbs - began to occur.”

  8. “The party which continues to violate the Peace Accords, refuses to engage in serious dialogue and appears to rely on a military solution will find itself held responsible for a conflict which takes Angola farther away from realizing its democratic aspirations. From the beginning of the peace process, the role of the international community has been crucial in Angola. Now, in addition to pursuing all avenues for negotiations, the international community must do everything possible to keep from fuelling the fires of an already-raging civil conflict. We reiterate our strong support for the Secretary-General and particularly for his Special Representative, Margaret Anstee, in her tireless pursuit of peace' in Angola. We urge the parties, and particularly UNITA, to demonstrate an equally firm and urgent commitment to that goal.”

  9. “To offer any real hope for peace, such dialogue must be undertaken urgently, without preconditions, by authoritative delegations committed to the Bicesse Accords and to national reconciliation. The United States, in cooperation with our troika partners, Portugal and Russia, continues to support United Nations efforts to bring the two sides together to that end. In that regard, the failure of UNITA to participate in last month's scheduled round of talks in Addis Ababa was deeply disappointing. But as this resolution demonstrates, the international community does not have infinite patience.”

  10. “The United States continues to watch with grave concern the deteriorating situation in Angola. over the past months, when Angola rightfully should have been taking the first steps down a fully democratic path, its citizens have been faced instead with a bitter war and a resulting humanitarian tragedy of growing proportions. All sides have acknowledged that the conflict cannot and will not be resolved on the battlefield. Nevertheless, the war continues with ever greater intensity. Since the end of January, the last time face-to-face talks were held, thousands, maybe tens of thousands, have died. Thousands more have been injured or displaced, and those facing urgent food and medical needs may number in the millions. We continue to believe that dialogue between the two parties is the only way out for Angola.”
