“The Indonesian delegation recognizes the enormous task and the challenges facing the Government of Burundi in implementing measures, with the assistance of the international community, to promote a climate of stability and trust. Such a climate would give impetus for dialogue, accompanied by mutual accommodation, to occur in Burundi. My delegation observes that the Secretary-General's report presents a sombre picture of internal conditions in Burundi. Ideological differences, extremist positions, the uprooting of people and crumbling humanitarian conditions make for an explosive situation. Nevertheless, we believe that the draft resolution under consideration contains an array of important measures to promote national reconciliation and dialogue.”

“There still exists, however, the potential for escalating tragedy and unrelenting human suffering in light of the fact that little progress has been achieved towards the establishment of a broad-based political dialogue between the parties to this conflict. The situation therefore requires urgent action if Burundi is to move further away from the brink of disaster, which may indeed include rampant ethnic, even genocidal violence. My delegation believes that further procrastination and ambivalence will not only have severe consequences for Burundi, but will also encourage the spread of instability throughout the Great Lakes region. In this context, my delegation welcomes the recent proliferation of regional and international peace initiatives, particularly the efforts of former Presidents Nyerere and Carter.”

“His letter to the Council of 3 January 1996 (S/1996/8) and his most recent report, of 15 February 1996 (S/1996/116), provide ample evidence that swift action must be taken to avert a worsening of the situation in that devastated country. The Indonesian delegation is pleased to note that the situation in Burundi has recently demonstrated some signs of stabilizing. In particular, we welcome the improved coordination between the President and the Prime Minister in promoting peace, as reflected in the Government's third campaign for the return of peace. Moreover, my delegation was encouraged by the fact that the extremists' call for a "dead city" operation met with resistance from the general population.”

“At the outset, allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of March, and to assure you of my delegation's full cooperation. My delegation is confident that your demonstrated diplomatic and leadership qualities will enable the Council to carry out the tasks before it expeditiously and efficiently. I should like also to extend my congratulations to Ambassador Albright, the Permanent Representative of the United States, for the excellent manner in which she presided over the work of the Council for the month of February. The Indonesian delegation would like also to express its appreciation to the Secretary-General for his efforts to keep the Council informed on the volatile and fragile situation in Burundi.”

“We welcome the confidence that the parties concerned have demonstrated by entrusting to the Council the task of working out the details of the projects to which I have referred, and we anticipate intensive work by the Council on this matter. On this occasion, we would like simply to reiterate the views that my delegation has already expressed relating to the need for transparency, consultation and consensus in the Security Council's consideration of the various issues that stem from the Basic Agreement. In View of these considerations, my delegation will vote in favour of the draft resolution now before the Council.”

“In this respect, the Security Council's formal support for the Basic Agreement reflects its intense determination to ensure that the Agreement is fully implemented by the parties concerned. In that regard, my delegation would like to reaffirm the importance that it attaches to full cooperation between the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the local Serb party, on the basis of the Agreement, to their refraining from any military activities or any measures that might impede implementation of the transitional arrangements contained in the Agreement, and to their cooperating fully with the United Nations Confidence Restoration Operation in Croatia. Under the terms of the Basic Agreement, the Security Council is requested to establish a Transitional Administration and to authorize an international force.”

“The Basic Agreement constitutes a significant and crucial step towards establishing a framework for the comprehensive political settlement of a crisis that has inflicted such enormous pain and hardship on countless innocent and defenceless people. Indeed, we believe that the achievement of the Basic Agreement was not an insignificant factor in moving the Dayton peace talks forward, leading to the initialling, on 21 November 1995, of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We believe that strict adherence to the provisions of the Basic Agreement on the Region of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium will extinguish what has previously been one of the most serious potential flash-points in the territories of the former Yugoslavia.”

“The underlying tension in Eastern Slavonia has been a constant source of preoccupation for the Security Council as it has had the potential to escalate the conflict in the former Yugoslavia to a new level of violence, destruction and human suffering. The delegation of Indonesia therefore welcomes the signing, on 12 November 1995, of the Basic Agreement on the Region of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium between the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the local Serb representatives. We are especially grateful to the United Nations mediator, Mr. T horvald Stoltenberg, and the United States Ambassador, Mr. Peter Galbraith, for their tireless efforts, which culminated in the signing of the Agreement.”

“Before concluding, I should like to convey my delegation's fervent hope that the historic outcome of the talks in Dayton and the subsequent formal signing of a comprehensive settlement will usher in a new era, one which would allow the healing process to begin, so that the people of the region will be able to resume peaceful, secure and productive lives. In the light of these considerations, my delegation will vote in favour of the two draft resolutions before the Security Council. We expect that the adoption of these draft resolutions will make a positive contribution to the ongoing peace process by affirming the Council's readiness to fulfil its responsibilities under the Charter in an expeditious and effective manner.”

“It is my delegation's view that the Security Council should be fully exposed to all ongoing deliberations on the subject of the formation of IFOR by being informed of such discussions and, above all, by being directly involved in this process at the earliest stage of the policy conception and formulation. In this way, at the appropriate time, the Council will be sufficiently prepared to engage its full potential in future deliberations directed towards reaching a decision on IFOR following the conclusion of a peace agreement among the parties concerned.”

“With specific reference to the proposed international force to implement the peace accord (IFOR), we feel that the legitimacy and credibility as well as the ultimate success of this force will, to a large extent, be influenced by the process or manner by which the Council reaches its ultimate decisions. Transparency, consultation and consensus should be the minimum criteria in guiding these critical and urgent decisions of the Council. We are confident that through such a participatory process, the decisions reached by the Council, including those relating to the mandate and composition of the prospective IFOR, will enjoy the level of support necessary for its success.”

“It is our view that funds or assets should not be unfrozen prematurely, inasmuch as such hasty action may preempt a consensual agreement among the successor States as to the disposition of such funds and assets. While my delegation is optimistic that the peace process has the potential to lead towards meaningful progress as a consequence of the agreements reached in Dayton, we are also cognizant of the myriad challenges and difficulties that flow from these agreements. Clearly, various aspects of the agreements reached in Dayton still require the Council's urgent and careful consideration aimed at securing decisions which not only meet the challenges and tasks emanating from the field, but are also consistent with the purposes and principles of the United Nations.”

“The delegation of Indonesia welcomes the positive role which the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has recently played in the peace process and hence deems it appropriate for the Council to suspend the sanctions imposed against it. At the same time, however, we would like to emphasize that the continuation of the suspension of sanctions is contingent upon the fulfilment by the authorities in Belgrade and by the Bosnian Serbs of their obligations under the Peace Agreement. With regard to the provisions contained in the draft resolution relating to funds and assets frozen or impounded by the Security Council resolutions, my delegation would like to underscore the need for caution.”
1995-11-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.3595 (1995) · source
“The sanctions imposed by the Security Council were not punitive measures designed to inflict hardship and pain on the people of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but were intended to encourage the Government in Belgrade to modify its policy by playing a constructive role in the peace process commensurate with its influence in the region. My delegation believes that the sanctions imposed on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia have contributed to its adoption of a more realistic and balanced approach to the peace talks. Rather than remaining peripheral to the important considerations involved in the peace process, its Government became far more actively engaged, as demonstrated by its constructive input during negotiation of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“In this regard, we note the commitment of the parties set out in Annex lB (Agreement on Regional Stabilization) of the Peace Agreement, including the arms control agreement contained therein, and hope that this instrument will contribute toward peace and security in the region. We are sensitive to the inherent limitations of sanctions as an instrument to maintain or restore international security. Nevertheless, as regards the situation in the former Yugoslavia, it is our view that the Council has succeeded in clearly defining the objectives of the application of sanctions.”

“However, military balance or parity is clearly something more complex than an objective or quantitative fact. More often than not, perceptions and mental constructs bear most heavily on a State's assessment of the absence or existence of military balance. We are familiar with the Vicious cycle of insecurity and arms build-up generated by worst case scenarios of each other's intentions and capabilities. The international community must therefore seek to encourage mutual confidence and trust among the parties concerned in the former Yugoslavia. We have also come to appreciate that long-term stability can only be realized through confidence-building measures rather than by a massive arms build-up undertaken to compensate for perceived vulnerability and insecurity.”

“The tragic conflict in the former Yugoslavia cannot be expected to provide an infallible general thesis on the complex relationship between war and peace, between diplomacy and warfare or even between swords and ploughshares. But there are sufficient grounds to believe that stark military imbalance in favour of the Bosnian Serbs has helped to sustain their aggression and that the recent revitalization of the peace process cannot be entirely detached from the noticeably more determined response by the international community to Bosnian Serb violations of Security Council resolutions. It is therefore imperative to ensure that such conditions of sharp military imbalances, which have been so destabilizing in the past, are not allowed to repeat themselves.”

“Over the past four years, the delegation of Indonesia has consistently called on the Security Council to pronounce itself unequivocally on the non-applicability of Security Council resolution 713 (1991) to the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The arms embargo imposed in 1991 on the former Yugoslavia had the unintended effect of freezing the advantage in weapons in favour of the Bosnian Serbs, who ruthlessly exploited it with harrowing consequences in human life and suffering. The Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was thus effectively denied its right to defend itself as enshrined in the Charter. We therefore decided to join in sponsoring the draft resolution on the termination of the arms embargo imposed by Security Council resolution 713 (1991).”
1995-11-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.3595 (1995) · source
“That being said, it is our fervent hope that the parties will make the Agreement work and that this Agreement will lead to the achievement of the ultimate goal not only of preserving Bosnia and Herzegovina as a single State under international law, but also of preserving the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina as one nation. The Council has before it today two draft resolutions on the termination of the arms embargo and the suspension of sanctions imposed by the relevant Security Council resolutions. It is incumbent upon the Council to decide urgently on these two draft resolutions, which form part of the overall agreement reached in Dayton.”

“While the Agreement constitutes a milestone in the efforts towards the attainment of a comprehensive peace in the former Yugoslavia, it is to be recognized that the solution to the conflict as agreed in Dayton is perhaps less than what fairness and justice require. This is especially true in view of the fact that some of the basic elements contained in the Agreement reflect a virtual recognition of the gains and losses as a consequence of the war. We should be under no illusion that Bosnia and Herzegovina is the real victim of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.”

“Yesterday, a demarcation line was drawn between war and peace in the former Yugoslavia. After four years of bloody conflict, which have inflicted immense suffering on the people of the region, on a scale unparalleled in Europe since the Second World War, we are finally poised to embark on a new and promising stage in the unfolding peace process. We welcome the initialling in Dayton, Ohio, of the General Framework for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and would like to pay a warm tribute to all those who have directly and indirectly contributed to the efforts in bringing peace to the territories of the former Yugoslavia. It is due to their unfailing determination to sustain their endeavours even in the face of difficult challenges that the talks in Dayton came to a successful conclusion.”

“While the effective implementation of this draft resolution lies in the hands of the Liberian parties themselves, assistance from the international community is also essential. It is in this context that my delegation welcomes the commitments made by many Member States during the Conference on Assistance to Liberia recently convened by the Secretary-General here in New York, and hopes that their pledged assistance will be disbursed in a timely manner so that an end can be put to this tragic chapter in Liberia's history.”

“We are convinced that effective and close cooperation and coordination between the United Nations and regional organizations can be attained, as is shown by the success stories in Cambodia, El Salvador and Mozambique. In conclusion, my delegation, in light of these developments, will vote in favour of the draft resolution before us today. We believe it reflects a well-balanced approach for expediting a speedy resolution to this tragic conflict - that has crippled the region for far too long - while taking into consideration the current reality of the situation. The new spirit of cooperation on the part of the Liberian parties presents a unique opportunity to make real progress in resolving these difficult issues. We therefore believe that the adoption of this resolution is critical for carrying the peace process forward.”

“In this connection, the Indonesian delegation considers it of utmost importance, if UNOMIL is to be effective in discharging its task, for there to be close cooperation and enhanced coordination with the LNTG, ECOMOG and all the Liberian parties. Enhanced coordination and closer cooperation would enable UNOMIL to overcome and resolve the many challenges still being encountered, such as violations of the cease-fire, harassment of civilians and looting of their property. We are also concerned that the process of the disengagement of forces and disarmament, which are the elements most critical to the peace process, have encountered some delays. The lack of coordination in repatriating refugees and resettling internally displaced persons, and in reintegrating combatants into civilian life, also requires rectification.”

“We therefore feel that, taking into account the new atmosphere prevailing in the country, the momentum gained since the signing of the Abuja Agreement deserves our strong support and should continue to be encouraged and sustained by the international community. To this end, it is not only essential for UNOMIL to maintain its presence in the country, it is also imperative, if UNOMIL is to be assisted in securing its stated objectives, for it to be provided with a clear mandate that reflects these changing conditions. We therefore fully support the adjusted mandate of UNOMIL as contained in paragraph 2 of the draft resolution now before us.”

“We are also gratified to note that the LNTG has expressed its desire to ensure the effective implementation of the Abuja Agreement, including disarmament and demobilization of combatants. The recent agreement reached by the Liberian parties themselves on a timetable for implementing the peace process is indeed a welcome development. We view as encouraging the LNTG's commitment to continuing to cooperate closely with the Liberian faction leaders, the personnel of ECOWAS and UNOMIL, and with the international community. Against this positive backdrop, the Council must seize the opportunity that now exists to bring to an end the civil war, which has ravaged Liberia for far too long.”

“In the same vein, we commend the Liberian National Transitional Government (LNTG) and the personnel of UNOMIL for their efforts to end the six years of suffering and devastation inflicted on the Liberian people. The Indonesian delegation, like other delegations, is very much encouraged to note from the report the progress made by the Liberian parties that demonstrates their determination, now stronger than ever before, to take tangible steps towards the restoration of peace and stability in their country. Such positive developments - manifested in the formation of a Cabinet, appointments to the Supreme Court, the reconstitution of the Ad Hoc Elections Commission and the setting up of a committee to prepare a status-of-forces agreement between the LNTG and ECOWAS - are most welcome to my delegation.”

We wish also to express our gratitude to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Anthony Nyakyi, and to the leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), for the continuing endeavours they have made towards the restoration of peace, security and stability in Liberia.”

“The current reality of the situation requires nothing less than a coordinated and cooperative response from this Council if the current opportunity for a political settlement is to be fully taken advantage of. We believe, therefore, that support for this draft resolution is necessary in order to demonstrate a sense of coherence, cooperation and resolve on the part of the Council as the peace negotiations continue.”

“In addition, we would like to emphasize the demand that all States cooperate fully with the International Tribunal as it performs its investigative functions. To assist in this endeavour, all parties must refrain from destroying or tampering with evidence. My delegation will therefore vote in favour of the draft resolution now before us. We are confident that the adoption of this draft resolution will send a clear signal to the parties concerned regarding the Council's resolve to put an immediate end to the tragic crisis. The prospects of this conflict's entering another winter, which would surely compound the suffering of the people of this region to an extent not seen since World War II, should provide a sombre and sobering reminder of what is at stake.”

“It reiterates the demands and calls made by the Council in previous resolutions, while taking into account the most recent developments. We would like to make particular reference to the draft resolution's reaffirmation of the demand that the Bosnian Serb party provide immediate access to representatives of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international agencies to persons displaced and to persons detained or reported missing from Srebrenica, Zepa, and the regions of Banja Luka and Sanski Most. Such action is deemed imperative in the light of the continuing reports of mass murders and atrocities committed by the Bosnian Serbs in those areas.”

“The balanced approach of the draft resolution before us today reflects the Council's sensitivity to this reality, while it remains steadfast to the principled position the Council has adopted regarding violations of international humanitarian law in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. The Indonesian delegation shares the deep concern expressed in the draft resolution regarding the continuing violation of international humanitarian law and human rights in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Croatia, as well as the potential consequences for the peace process if this terrible and tragic situation is not expeditiously dealt with. The draft resolution aspires to take a comprehensive View of the crisis that addresses the mutual obligations and responsibilities of all the warring parties.”

We are confident that your wisdom and well-known leadership qualities will ensure substantial progress in our work. I should also like to congratulate your predecessor, Mr. Ibrahim Gambari of Nigeria, for his exemplary stewardship of the Council during the month of October and applaud his delegation for a job well done. The situation in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Croatia is currently entering a crucial phase. The ongoing talks in Dayton, Ohio, offer some hope that progress will be achieved in the effort to arrive at a comprehensive political solution to the conflict.”

We further believe that the international community recognizes the importance of this process and will support it wholeheartedly with all available resources. Without such support, the cycle of blame and revenge may continue, exacerbating the tragedy that has already befallen Burundi.

“Its recommendations should carefully consider the political context in which the parties in Burundi are working towards national reconciliation. My delegation therefore emphasizes that the functioning of the Commission should not undermine the equally important process of national reconciliation in Burundi. My delegation is of the opinion that Burundi's sovereignty and territorial integrity are of great importance and that the recommendations of the Commission should not impinge upon those sacrosanct principles. Given the complexities of the situation, observance of those principles will make a distinct contribution to resolving the situation and to furthering the national unity and reconciliation that Burundi requires.”

“My delegation expects that the work of the Commission will contribute to a climate conducive to the establishment of a justice system of fairness and equality, which will further Burundi's efforts to become a nation of peace and prosperity. In this regard, the Commission is expected, among other things, to recommend measures of a legal, political and administrative nature, as appropriate, and measures with regard to bringing to justice persons responsible for the assassination of the President of Burundi in 1993 and the massacres and other related serious acts of violence which followed, in order to prevent any repetition of deeds similar to those investigated by the Commission, and in general to eradicate the climate of impunity. However, we wish to emphasize the sensitivity of the functioning of the Commission.”

“My delegation echoes the concern that the situation in Burundi remains volatile, and could easily deteriorate. We believe that this resolution has the potential to provide the solutions to some of Burundi's problems. For instance, the general lack of information regarding the events of 1993 has led to an environment in which it is easy to assign blame and in which little evidence is seen as necessary to invoke violent revenge - a situation which should be ameliorated. Burundi itself has recognized this need, and in this regard my delegation expresses its appreciation for Burundi's approval of the establishment of a commission composed of impartial, experienced, internationally respected jurists. Its efforts to formulate terms of reference for the commission demonstrate the political will to improve its judicial system.”
1995-08-28 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.3571 (1995) · source
“Without such justice, fairly determined by neutral observers, the result would be an environment of impunity which could then lead to unsanctioned retribution by parties seeking redress for past injustice. Such acts of violence are seized upon by other parties as unjust, and are similarly reacted to with violence, which continues the cycle. This cycle makes national reconciliation, prosperity and development virtually impossible. Even if the current level of violence is not as extreme as the period of genocide in 1993, the savagery that has dominated Burundi's recent history still exists to a large extent today. Recent reports of violent protests, shipments of land mines into Burundi and attacks which have killed innocent children have reminded the world that ethnic and political tensions in the country have not been allayed.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Indonesia. My delegation voted for the resolution before us today, by which the Security Council decided to establish an international commission of inquiry for Burundi. Having been a member of the Security Council's second mission to Burundi, which recommended the establishment of such a commission, I take special satisfaction in the decision just adopted by the Council. The establishment of the commission is indeed necessary to ascertain the facts about the October 1993 assassination of the President of Burundi and the subsequent genocide, so that persons responsible for Burundi's tragedies can be brought to justice.”
