“Mr. YANEZ BARNUEVO (Spain) (interpretation from Spanish): My delegation is gratified at the speed with which the Security Council adopted the resolution establishing the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) only a few days after receiving the relevant report of the Secretary-General requested in resolution 862 (1993). In the light of events, our decision supplements the statement made by the President on behalf of the members of the Council on 17 September, in which, in view of the deteriorating situation in Haiti and the acts of violence provoked by certain armed groups, the Security Council sternly warned those responsible for such acts of the possible reimposition of sanctions should the Secretary-General recommend this to the Council.”

“This will help the political reconciliation now in progress, through which Somalia must rebuild its institutions as soon as possible so that it can become a free, democratic and fully sovereign country by 1995 at the latest.”

“We would also like to pay tribute here to all those who have given their lives in the service of this noble cause. At the same time, we would like to highlight and pay tribute to the efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Admiral Howe, and of the entire personnel of UNOSOM II, who have carried out their task under difficult circumstances and have shown great fortitude and determination. The resolution that we have adopted today stresses the need to restore, swiftly, certain institutions and essential public services, such as the police and the judicial and penal systems, in Somalia, to make it easier for the people of Somalia soon to control their own destiny, and to speed that process.”

“This effort must be carried out by the Somalis themselves, with the support and assistance of the international community: the United Nations, but also the neighbouring countries, the Organization of African Unity, the League of Arab States and the Organization of the Islamic Conference. It is exceedingly important that the Somalis be able to count on this support and assistance of the international community. We must regret, however, that United Nations forces in Somalia have been harassed by one of the Somali factions, which stands in the way of their work and undermines any chance of dialogue. We would like to emphasize the full validity of UNOSOM II's actions to promote the fulfilment of the goals set down by the Security Council.”

“As provided for in the Addis Ababa Agreement, the gradual formation of district councils will be the first step towards the creation of regional councils and the future establishment of a Transitional National Council, all of which will lay the foundation for the restoration of state institutions in Somalia. We are convinced that the majority of the Somali people have the political will to achieve speedy national reconciliation, as is evinced by all of these achievements. We must stress that the problems in Somalia can ultimately be overcome only by the efforts of the Somalis themselves, bearing in mind, naturally, that all the groups, factions and parties must be given their say, and only those whose actions have proven that they are outlaws should be barred from the process.”

“The joint efforts of UNOSOM and other United Nations bodies have made it possible, inter alia, to virtually eradicate famine in the country; schools are again opening their doors now, after four years without any classes; a large portion of the country's children have been vaccinated; and we are now tackling and resolving its principal health problems. From an economic and social perspective, moreover, a good portion of the population are returning to their lands, and agriculture, livestock rearing and trade are all being revitalized. These achievements have their counterparts in the political field as well.”

“Mr. YANEZ BARNUEVO (Spain) (interpretation from Spanish): With the adoption of resolution 865 (1993), the Security Council once again underscores the firm commitment of the United Nations to help the Somali people bring about national reconciliation and return to a normal national life, with the gradual restoration of their institutions and the public services that are essential to the community. The Secretary-General's report of 17 August 1993, and the oral reports the members of the Council have had occasion to hear - the latest of those this very morning from the Special Representation of the Secretary-General, Admiral Howe - show that the work the United Nations is carrying out in Somalia is largely a little-known story of concrete achievements and substantial progress in the direction we had laid down.”

“Thus, in today's draft resolution, the extension of the mandate of United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM II) is approved, and the need for both parties, particularly UNITA, to allow the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance is emphasized. The imposition of sanctions on a transgressor is never an agreeable task for the Security Council. I would like to conclude by expressing the desire that we will soon be in a position to reconsider the measures to be adopted today, because that would mean that UNITA had seen the light of reason and that the Angolan people were returning to the path of peace and reconciliation, liberty and development, just as the Haitian people recently did.”

“Otherwise, once that time has elapsed, the draft resolution calls for the implementation of sanctions which my Government deems necessary, and which should be fully carried out. Spain would like to acknowledge the integrity evinced by the Angolan Government in this very difficult situation as it cooperates with the efforts of the international community to reach a lasting and effective end to the conflict. The Government of President dos Santos, represented here by the Minister of External Relations, Mr. De Moura, has concretely manifested the confidence it places in the international community's ability to improve the situation of its citizens. My delegation is also aware of our collective obligation to help the Angolan people achieve those objectives.”

“Savimbi, stands ready to declare a unilateral cease-fire and return to the negotiating table. This news will be encouraging if and when his disposition manifests itself in concrete facts with the establishment of an effective cease- fire throughout the territory and an agreement between the parties regarding the full implementation of the Acordos de Paz and the relevant Security Council resolutions. In the draft resolution we are about to adopt, the Security Council has provided a 10-day delay for the implementation of the sanctions on UNITA in order, through the efforts of the Secretary-General, to allow UNITA one more chance to return to the negotiating table and take effective, concrete steps to implement the Acordos de Paz.”

“These are the initial measures to be taken in response to the intransigence of an organization that refuses to acknowledge the freely expressed will of the Angolan people and which continues to pursue a civil war in which tens of thousands of human lives are being lost, thus causing the greatest human tragedy in the world at this time. The mechanisms for achieving a just and lasting peace in Angola have been clearly defined in the Acordos de Paz and in previous resolutions adopted by the Council. The tragedy that is afflicting the Angolan people is due to the irresponsibility of UNITA and its leadership in refusing to recognize the results of the democratic elections, violating concluded accords and continuing the civil war at all costs. We the members of the Council have been informed that the leader of UNITA, Mr.”

“My delegation has also taken note of the statement made by the three observer countries in the peace process in Angola, which at their Lisbon meeting on 10 September deemed it necessary to recommend the adoption of measures to ensure that the international community prevent UNITA from pursuing war. For the aforementioned reasons, Spain considers that the time has come to adopt appropriate measures vis-a-vis UNITA's systematic violation of resolutions adopted by the Council and accords that have been reached. The Council must act in faith with itself. It is preparing to carry out the provisions announced in paragraph 12 of resolution 851 (1993), in other words, to act under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter in order to impose sanctions to prevent the supply of weapons, military materiel and petroleum to UNITA.”

“The draft resolution we are to adopt today opens a new chapter in the conduct of the United Nations in Angola and its commitment to achieve lasting, effective peace on the basis of the electoral results and in full compliance with the Acordos de Paz and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. Exactly two months ago, the Security Council adopted resolution 851 (1993), which set down the bases for future Council action if, by today, the negotiating process, under the auspices of the United Nations, aimed at ensuring full compliance with the Acordos de Paz had not been reactivated. Regretfully, we must acknowledge that the hopes of the international community have been dashed and its continuous efforts have not been heeded. Our patience has come to an end.”

“The Ad-Hoc Committee of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), as well as several African heads of State, have evinced a praiseworthy determination to expedite resumption of the peace process in Angola. The three observer states of the peace process - the United States, Portugal and Russia - have spared no efforts for the same cause. Unfortunately, the most recent report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Angola does not hold out much hope for a rapid solution to the country's tragic situation, owing to the intransigence of UNITA.”

“Time and again the Security Council has had roundly to condemn UNITA's rejection of the outcome of the elections, its failure to participate in the political institutions that were established on the basis of said elections, its withdrawal from the new armed forces of Angola, its capture of territory by force and, the violation of the cease-fire and the resumption of hostilities. At the same time, the Security Council has placed its hope time and again in the continuous efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative in Angola to find a lasting solution to the conflict, based on the peace accords and the Security Council resolutions.”

“Mr. YANEZ BARNUEVO (Spain) (interpretation from Spanish): Approximately a year ago, on 29 and 30 September 1992, elections were held in Angola under the supervision of the United Nations, which presupposed the initiation of a path towards democracy and national reconciliation in the country. The wishes of the Angolan people were freely expressed at the ballot box and the international community trusted that the lengthy fratricidal conflict was to become a part of the past of Angola. Unfortunately that was not the case, and we all know who bears the responsibility.”

“Spain is committed to the peace process in Mozambique, and we are therefore hopeful that the interests of the people of Mozambique will prevail above all else in the priorities of the Government and RENAMO. Those priorities, which the international community shares, are peace, reconciliation and development. The 3 September document shows the path to be followed.”

“It must also be reconfirmed with the beginning and development of the work of the various national commissions. Lastly, it should be reaffirmed, and speedily, by the agreement of all parties on the draft election law, including the establishment of a national election commission that is balanced and effective. These are the steps to be achieved and they must be achieved relatively quickly, if there is any true desire to hold democratic elections by October 1994, My delegation would like to express its concern that any delay in this process will eventually wear out the international community, adversely affecting external support for the entire process.”

“In connection with these facts, which are very encouraging, we must also express our concern at the difficulties that persist in certain essential points of the compliance with the provisions of the General Peace Agreement. The hopes of the people of Mozambique and the international community cannot be disappointed, particularly now that there is a dynamic of progress. Accordingly, the Council has adopted resolution 863 (1993), which reflects both its satisfaction and its impatience to see the light at the end of the tunnel, which is only too slow in coming. The will of the parties, and RENAMO in particular, must be reconfirmed by a rapid start of the process of cantonment and demobilization of troops in accordance with the revised timetable for the implementation of the provisions of the General Peace Agreement.”

“We appeal to them to ensure that the agreement is rapidly and effectively put into practice in the field, thus creating the necessary basis for the development of democracy and the holding of elections. We are certain that the Security Council will consider favourably the proposals to be submitted to it by the Secretary-General in order to respond to the request of the Government of Mozambique and RENAMO that the United Nations carry out police activity observer missions in the country. This aspect is of crucial importance in order to build confidence among all parties and citizens, and the United Nations must continue to play an active role in this area. We also trust that this will give the Secretary-General an opportunity to review the current deployment of ONUMOZ in order to adapt it to the new circumstances.”

“The work of helping the people of Mozambique, who for 16 years have suffered the consequences of a bloody conflict, and of making it possible to rebuild their society is an integral part of the work of the United Nations forces in that country. Therefore, we must reaffirm the need for the humanitarian assistance programme to continue to have the cooperation of the Government of Mozambique and RENAMO in order to give the civilian population full access to humanitarian aid. The agreement reached on 3 September embodies the principle of a single Administration for the whole country. This matter, which was formerly one of the main difficulties between the Government of Mozambique and RENAMO, has been satisfactorily resolved by the two parties.”

“We sincerely hope that this dialogue will maintained as an essential part of the peace process and will make it possible to make progress on the various outstanding issues, with a view to ensuring that the process leads to a happy conclusion with the holding of democratic elections in October 1994. We must also congratulate ourselves on the fact that the United Nations Operation in Mozambique (ONUMOZ), in which my country participates, is effectively carrying out its mandate under the skilful leadership of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Ajello. The completion of the deployment of ONUMOZ is good news, as is the progress in the work of the Joint Commission for the Formation of the Mozambican Defence Force, which is permitting the training of instructors in Nyanga, as well as other far-reaching measures.”

“Dhalakama, emphasize the importance of the recent progress achieved in the peace process in that country in order to bring about the rapid implementation of all the provisions of the General Peace Agreement. The Council can congratulate itself on the fact that since the adoption of resolution 850 (1993) two months ago the parties to the conflict have demonstrated to the international community, through concrete facts, their determination to resolve their differences and make progress in the peace process. The recent meetings between President Chissano and Mr. Dhalakama are clear proof of this.”

Your well-known diplomatic skill is the best guarantee of positive results from the Council's work this month. I also wish to express my delegation's appreciation to Ambassador Albright of the United States for the excellent way in which she conducted our work during August.

“I wish also to recall that the assistance of the international community in this area must be accompanied by redoubled efforts to help the Haitian people socially and economically during this critical period. We hope that the organizations within the United Nations system will give their full cooperation, under the guidance of the General Assembly. For all this to happen, events in Haiti must continue to be in harmony with the requirements of the Governors Island Agreement and the New York Pact and with the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council. That is our deepest desire.”

“Firstly, the United Nations is promptly responding to a request by the legitimate Government of Haiti and supporting the desire of that Government to modernize and professionalize the armed forces and the security forces in Haiti, in accordance with the provisions of the Governors Island Agreement. Secondly, the democratization of these institutions is an essential element in lending a seal of permanence to the period of democracy which is now beginning. We are confident that the advance team which is established by this resolution will be leaving immediately for Haiti and will quickly carry out its task so that the United Nations Mission in Haiti will soon be set up.”

“An important part of the restoration of democracy in Haiti and a crucial element during this new stage which is now beginning is the democratization of the police forces and the military establishment. This is related to the international civil mission which is already functioning in Haiti under the auspices of the United Nations in order to supervise genuine respect for human rights. The assistance of the United Nations in these matters, in cooperation with the Organization of American States, and coordinated by the Special Representative of both organizations, Mr. Caputo, is important for two reasons.”

“Mr. YANEZ-BARNUEVO (Spain) (interpretation from Spanish): A few days ago, the Council suspended the sanctions on Haiti. Today, we are completing this action by carrying out the other aspect of the United Nations action in connection with the Haitian crisis, namely, responding to the requirements of the Haitian parties, the legitimate Government of Haiti first and foremost, so that the international community can now witness the establishment of full democracy in Haiti. With the adoption of this resolution, the Security Council is demonstrating its determination actively to assist the legitimate Government of Haiti and the Haitian people in their task of restoring and consolidating their democratic institutions.”

“Also, the international community will have to redouble its efforts with respect to economic and social assistance and cooperation, so the people of Haiti can have a genuine opportunity to emerge from their economic distress. Here again, we want to stress the role that should be played by other United Nations organs, the General Assembly and other bodies within the United Nations system. Spain expresses the fervent hope that the confirmation of Prime Minister Malval will be followed by other decisisve steps in the same direction so that, when the legitimate President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, once again occupies the presidential palace in Port-au-Prince, this Council will be able to decide on the definitive lifting of the sanctions imposed under resolution 841 (1993).”

“Of course, the confirmation of Prime Minister Malval does not mean that the process set out in the Governors Island Agreement and the New York Pact has been fully implemented: other aspects of those agreements and of resolution 841 (1993) remain to be implemented. The Council must therefore remain attentive to developments in Haiti and must, respond with the same speed should it be necessary - and we hope this will not be the case - to restore the sanctions regime established in resolution 841 (1993). Soon, the Council will also be considering the recommendations contained in the report of the Secretary~General with a view to establishing a United Nations mission in Haiti to assist in the process of democratizing Haitian institutions and security forces.”

“This achievement indicates the important role such cooperation can play on future occasions. With the adoption today of resolution 861 (1993), the Security Council has responded promptly to the recommendation made by the Secretary-General on the basis of the positive events taking place in Haiti. The adoption of that resolution, which suspends the sanctions regime, will demonstrate to the political protagonists in Haiti and to other States that have been or are now subject to Council sanctions that the Council is prepared to encourage those who are willing to implement the provisions of its resolutions.”

“It is also a source of gratification for the United Nations, for it implies that the Security Council's action in adopting the sanctions regime set out in resolution 841 (1993) proved commensurate with the circumstances and laid the foundation for the restoration of the Haitian people's democratic freedoms. Of course, it was a result also of the brilliant work of the Special Representative of the Secretaries-General of the United Nations and of the Organization of American States (OAS), Mr. Dante Caputo, whom we thank and congratulate. The establishment of a democratic Government in Haiti was due also to cooperation between the Organization of American States and the United Nations; we too wish to highlight the importance of that cooperation between the OAS and the United Nations.”

Mr. Malval's appointment as Prime Minister by the Haitian Chamber of Deputies, in accordance with these agreements, is an important step forward in the process towards the normalization of the situation in Haiti and the full restoration of democracy. The establishment of the Malval Government is of great importance to Haiti and its people - to whom we convey a message of congratulations and hope.”

“For this reason, my delegation is pleased that in resolution 859 (1993), which we have adopted today, the Council declares its readiness to consider at the proper time, once the parties have signed the agreements, the adoption of the necessary measures to foster their effective application. At that time all the helping hands in the world will not be enough for overseeing the agreements, following up the humanitarian-aid effort and undertaking the reconstruction of the country. The United Nations will have a fundamental role to play, but the collaboration of other organizations and, in particular, the European Community and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will be required.”

“The Geneva agreements have certainly been reached under the auspices of the Co-Chairmen, who have through their tireless mediation made the attainment of that package possible. However, as Mr. Stoltenberg has pointed out to us, the Geneva package has been hammered out primarily by the parties, and it will be up to them to sign it and put it into practice. There can be no substitute for the genuine will of the parties to comply with the agreements in good faith. But the continued presence of the international community - if, as we hope, a peace settlement is attained - will be even more necessary, as it will strengthen the confidence of the parties and will facilitate the difficult task of implementing the agreed commitments.”

“But in such difficult circumstances as those we face now, it must be considered a solution that, though perhaps not the best one, has a Major virtue: it allows us to achieve peace, a peace that in order to be just and equitable cannot be a peace at any price, but rather one that is achieved within the framework of the principles of the United Nations Charter and of the London Conference, principles whose validity has been guaranteed by the Co-Chairmen throughout the Geneva negotiations, just as the Council does now in resolution 859 (1993), which we have just adopted. In particular, we wish to reaffirm the unity and integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its continuation as a State Member of the United Nations.”

It is therefore necessary to emphasize the need to continue increasing humanitarian aid and the assistance of the international community, whatever outcome is reached by the parties to the conflict in the dialogue unfolding in Geneva. Winter approaches wearing seven-league boots, and, starting now, the proper measures must be taken to allay as much as possible the suffering of the civilian populations. The representatives of the three parties can best serve their own population precisely by reaching, as quickly as possible, an honourable peace accord that respects the principles established by the international community.

“Stoltenberg described the tragedy on the ground in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a situation that deteriorates with every passing day and that has now become a humanitarian tragedy of dire proportions. On this point I should like to call attention to the fact that that tragic dimension obtains not only in Sarajevo, which is the almost exclusive object of international attention, but also in many other areas of that Republic. Our immediate concern is focused on the area around the martyred city of Mostar, where the Spanish troops forming part of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) are carrying out an especially valuable humanitarian mission. We are pleased that, with UNPROFOR's intercession, only hours ago an agreement was reached on a cease-fire and on the provision of humanitarian assistance to Mostar's civilian population.”

My delegation considers it right and fitting to pay tribute to the work of the Co-Chairmen, who are doing an exceptional job in the cause of peace in the former Yugoslavia.

“We remain confident that reason will prevail and that the parties will manage to reach a solution to the conflict by means of negotiation. I conclude by expressing the hope and the firm desire that we shall soon see re-established the unity and cohesion of the Security Council that have inevitably been affected by the vote taken today. It is essential to ensure that the weight of the international community is brought to bear on all the parties, particularly the Serbian party, so that a just and lasting solution can be found to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. There are no further names on the list of speakers. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideraton of the item on its agenda. The Security Council will remain seized of the matter.”

“Guided by that spirit, the Heads of State or Government of the States members of the European Community committed themselves in Copenhagen to responding positively to the request by the Secretary-General that troops and other resources be furnished for the enhanced protection of the safe areas, and issued an appeal to the other members of the international community to do their part. If all these efforts do not bear the hoped-for fruit, Spain, together with the other countries that signed the joint plan of action issued in Washington on 22 May last, remains ready to consider, in due course, recourse to new and more forceful measures, without prejudging or excluding consideration of any of them. We are, however, convinced that that time has not yet come.”

“In that context, I should like also to recall that the Council of Europe in Copenhagen formally declared that it would not accept a territorial solution dictated by the Serbs and the Croats of Bosnia at the expense of the Bosnian Muslims; at the same time, it expressed its full confidence in the co-Chairmen of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia and urged them to pursue their efforts to promote a just and viable solution for the three peoples making up Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is our view, in particular, that we must not now abandon the efforts to achieve the implementation of the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, and in particular resolutions 836 (1993) and 844 (1993), recently adopted on the question of safe areas.”
