  1. “The civil war in Liberia hampered the achievement of the integration - especially economic - of ECOWAS, an undertaking that should contribute to the implementation of the programme for the economic and social recovery of the African continent. The restoration of peace, security and stability in Liberia is thus one of our priorities.”

  2. “The idea is to strengthen confidence between the parties to the conflict. The draft resolution whose adoption will confirm the Council's present deliberations falls within that context. It deals with the provisions to be adopted for the creation of the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL) and the involvement of the United Nations in monitoring the cease-fire. We must welcome these important measures by the Council. On behalf of the current President of the Economic Community of African States (ECOWAS), I wish to assure the Council once again that our subregional organization will cooperate fully with the United Nations in the fulfilment of its mission in Liberia.”

  3. “For the immediate future, the implementation of this Agreement will encourage not only the expediting and distribution of humanitarian assistance to the Liberian population, so sorely tried by a conflict dating back to 1989, but also the return of the displaced peoples, in order to strengthen the social bases for the political settlement. We must pay a tribute to the Secretary-General and, through him, to his Special Representative for Liberia for having carried out the directives of the Council concerning the situation in Liberia. The praiseworthy efforts of the international community to alleviate the suffering of thousands of innocent victims of this conflict also deserve our great appreciation. The Cotonou Peace Agreement confirms the important role that has fallen to the United Nations in the peace process in Liberia.”

  4. “The signing of the Peace Agreement in Cotonou was made possible by the will of the parties to the Liberian conflict to silence the guns at last and to embark upon a process of peaceful settlement with a view to a just and lasting solution to their internal dispute. But I wish here to stress that the role of the United Nations has been decisive in introducing a climate of confidence between the parties without which we would not be speaking today of the Cotonou Agreement, which opens up the way to implementing the various important provisions of the overall Yamoussoukro IV peace Accord, namely: respect for the cease-fire; regrouping and disarming of troops and then their demobilization; and holding of general and presidential elections.”

  5. “Your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom, has our greatest admiration for his efficient management of the business of the Council last month. The Security Council's consideration once again today of the situation in Liberia follows the signing in Cotonou on 25 July 1993 of the Peace Agreement between the Liberian parties, who have thus reaffirmed their commitment to respect the Yamoussoukro IV Accord and without delay to carry out the various provisions in accordance with the agreed timetable. President Nicephore Soglo is especially grateful to the Council as a whole for the diligence it has shown in dealing with the Liberian conflict.”

  6. “Mr. WHANNOU (Benin) (interpretation from French): On behalf of the President of the Republic of Benin, His Excellency Mr. Nicephore Soglo, current President of the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), I take the floor before this body on the occasion of its consideration of the item concerning the situation in Liberia. At the outset, Madam President, allow me to congratulate you most warmly on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for August. Your thorough knowledge and mastery of international issues assure us of the success of the Council's deliberations at a time when, with the disappearance of global antagonisms, local or regional conflicts constitute serious threats to the peace and security of the world.”
