“We also feel that the adoption of this draft resolution would not have been appropriate at this particular time, since it would have introduced a disturbing element, which would probably have had an adverse effect on the process of talks under way in Geneva, where we hope a negotiated solution will be found that will bring an end to the conflict.”

“Moreover, the measures proposed in this draft resolution would, in our judgement, escalate the risk of an expansion of the conflict, with potentially extremely serious consequences for the entire region. Yet another consideration which weighed heavily in our decision was the conviction that lifting the arms embargo would be incompatible with the maintenance of the presence of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina and that, therefore, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the other humantarian agencies would not be able to continue their important work of helping the civilian population - and two-thirds of the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina depend on those bodies for their survival.”

“However, the delegation of Spain abstained in the voting that took place today because it is convinced that the anguish, frustration and, indeed, despair that we feel must not prompt us to take measures that might prove to have negative consequences and in fact be prejudicial to those whom we are trying to help. Indeed, it is our view that lifting the arms embargo, even though only partially, would lead to an escalation of the violence and would only contribute to increasing the suffering of the civilian population. What would doubtless happen would be not just a quantitative but also a qualitative upsurge in the fighting, as new and more modern weapons streamed in and reached the hands of all the combatants - not merely one of the parties.”

“I wish to recall in this context that Spain, together with the other countries members of the European Community, has recently reaffirmed, at the meeting of the Council of Europe held in Copenhagen on 22 June, that any negotiated solution to the conflict must be based on the principles of the London Conference, summed up in the Vance-Owen peace plan, and in particular on the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the protection of human rights and the rights of minorities, the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force, the vital need that humanitarian assistance be provided to and reach those who need it, and the bringing to justice of those who have committed war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Spain. The debate the Security Council has held today has made it clear that, quite apart from the positions taken by the various sides, we all share the same feeling of anguish and frustration at the continuation of the horrible conflict assailing the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, notwithstanding the efforts exerted so far by the international community. Spain, in any event, understands and indeed, in large measure, shares the motivations of the countries that sponsored the draft resolution that has been voted on today. In particular, we uphold positions that are very similar to the basic principles on which the solution to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina should be based.”

“"The Council recalls in this connection that the Iraq-Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission did not reallocate territory between Kuwait and Iraq, but simply carried out the technical task necessary to demarcate the precise coordinates for the first time, on the basis of "The Agreed Minutes between the State of Kuwait and the Republic of Iraq regarding the Restoration of Friendly Relations, Recognition and Related Matters" signed by them on 4 October 1963, which were registered with the United Nations. The Council reminds Iraq that the Boundary Demarcation Commission acted on the basis of resolution 687 (1991) and the Secretary- General's report on implementing paragraph 3 of that resolution, both of which were formally accepted by Iraq.”

“We take careful note of the explanations given by the representative of the United States, and especially the clarification that the action undertaken was limited in scope and duration. We hope that such a situation does not arise again and that the Gcevernment of Iraq will, once and for all, hear the outcry of the international community, that it will abstain from any acts of provocation, and that it will cooperate fully and in good faith with the demands made of it on varicus occasions by the Security Council. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no other names on the list of speakers. No proposal on this item has been submitted on which the Security Council is required to take action. Therefore, I understand that the Council has thus concluded its consideration of the item before it.”

“In this case, moreover, those actions come on top of others undertaken or carried out over the past several years by the Government of Iraq, and they come together to form a picture of contempt for the norms that govern the coexistence of States and of defiance of the decisions and demands repeatedly expressed by the Security Council, acting on behalf of the international community. In this light, we understand the action the United States Government felt forced to take in the exceptional circumstances of this case. We regret that it has been necessary to resort to these extreme measures, and especially that, despite the precautions taken to avoid civilian casualties, there have been some.”

“The fact that a country's secret services conspire and make preparations to assassinate the former Head of State of another State, in the territory of a third State, constitutes in itself a serious violation of international law and, at the same time, is a threat to the security of all. This kind of behaviour is intolerable and must be met with an attitude of firm rejection on the part of the international community. Spain roundly condemns any manifestation of terrorism, especially when - as in this case - agents of a foreign State are involved. Hence, we express our sympathy for and solidarity with the Governments of the United States and Kuwait, which have been directly affected by the machinations and actions of the Iraqi secret services.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Spain. I must begin by expressing our appreciation for the initiative taken by the United States in coming to the Security Council to provide information regarding the action taken yesterday over Baghdad, and to explain the motives that impelled the United States to take this decision. From the information given by the United States it is clear that there is sufficient reason to deduce that there was an assassination attempt against former President Bush and that the Iraqi intelligence services were behind that attempt - which, fortunately, was thwarted. This is extremely serious.”
