1. “Allow me at the outset, Sir, warmly to welcome you and to express my delegation's deep appreciation for the timely manner in which you arranged this open debate. My country has always been very sensitive to the fate of all those who fall victim to circumstances beyond their control and have to rely on others' help. Civilian populations are the main victims, and frequently the main targets, of contemporary warfare. In the face of the continuing deterioration of the humanitarian situation of people suffering from the atrocities of war and conflict, the Security Council, along with other competent bodies and organizations, will have to do its best to cope with the ensuing challenges.”

2. “Lastly, our delegation wishes to express its satisfaction with the Secretary-General's decision to extend for another six months the activities of the United Nations Political Office for Somalia, which plays an important and constructive role in the international efforts towards the peaceful resolution of the Somali crisis.”

3. “Here one should speak of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and of the Organization of African Unity countries, in particular Ethiopia, Kenya and Egypt. Also, the Government of Italy should be commended for its important contribution. It is clear to us that the international community will maintain or even increase its level of involvement provided that all - I repeat all - Somali factions, and especially those of Mr. Aidid and Mr. Egal, use the momentum created at the Nairobi, Sodere and Cairo meetings to pursue the common way to national reconciliation. As we did last year, we would also like to underline that the full observance of the arms embargo under Security Council resolution 733 (1992) is one of the key conditions for durable peace in Somalia.”

4. “The situation in Somalia has not significantly changed since we last met in this Chamber to consider it. But there are certain developments which might eventually lead to Somali national reconciliation. We welcome the important meetings in Nairobi and Sodere. In our view, they constitute a significant step forward on the road to peace in Somalia. But they have to be followed by concrete deeds. In particular, the solemn declaration adopted on 3 January 1997 by the majority of the Somali factions will have to be put into operation. Speaking realistically, only then will the community of States be able to constructively assist the process of normalization in this nation which has borne so much. One cannot question the will of the international community to help Somalia. There are many examples of concern and practical help from States.”

5. “We wish to thank you, Sir, for your initiative to convene an open debate on Somalia. We are of the view that matters like the one before us today deserve our constant attention and thorough examination. May I add, however, that the Security Council has never been indifferent to the difficult, complex and sensitive situation in Somalia. The open debate last year and regular informal consultations and briefings on this issue best demonstrate this. During our last open debate on Somalia, my delegation stated that only national reconciliation can bring peace and stability to Somalia, and that it is the responsibility of the leaders of that country to seek dialogue and political solutions instead of hostility and violence. Such an appeal is very much relevant today. And in fact, at least now, it cannot be overstated.”
