“It reiterates its demand that the parties cease all offensive military actions and reminds them again that all such actions threaten the prospects for a negotiated peace. Attempts to gain short-term military advantage and to procrastinate at the Lusaka peace talks will only prolong the conflict and the continued suffering of the Angolan people and discourage the involvement of the international community in assisting Angola. "The Security Council expresses its grave concern about any act against United Nations and other international personnel in Angola, and calls upon all parties to ensure the safety and security of the staff and property of the United Nations and all humanitarian organizations.”

“Although it may be too much to hope for, if the military leaders in Haiti were to show some kind of courage and dignity or just common sense, this time they should surrender to the will of the international community and end the scourge they are imposing on their own people, before the hand of justice descends on them.”

“The international community, like it or not, has a standing commitment to the economic and social development of Haiti. The only effective vaccination against a succession of ruling cliques, with their greater or lesser ability to bring about terror and intimidation, as has frequently been the case in Haiti's history, will be to create the necessary antibodies through sustained action in favour of democracy and development. It has been said that the difference between a coward and a brave person lies in the circumstances that make them flee. The de facto authorities in Haiti have shown that they can flee in many directions, including headlong - but all of these flights have been up to now dictated by cowardice.”

“In accordance with resolution 917 (1994) of May 1994 and until President Aristide returns, the Secretary-General will continue to report every month on all aspects of the situation in Haiti so that the Council can keep this matter under constant consideration. We might close our eyes and imagine a world in which problems could be solved as quickly as they appear, a world where we could guarantee that an operation of this kind would put an end to the poverty and oppression of the people of Haiti. Unfortunately, everyone realizes that the success of the international community in its immediate objective to restore democracy in Haiti will mark not an end but barely a point of departure. Humanitarian assistance, and in particular assistance to development, constitutes the comerstone of stability and long-term social peace in Haiti.”

“This advance team is to include a group of military observers who will monitor the operations of the multinational force. The Secretary-General will report to the Council on the activities of the advance team within 30 days of the deployment of the multinational force. 20 In addition, the Member States participating in the multinational force will, for their part, keep the Council informed at regular, frequent intervals. Similarly, the Secretary-General himself will report periodically to the Council on the implementation of the resolution. The Council's follow-up mechanism does not end there.”

“For that reason, we understand very well the warnings and reservations expressed by a number of delegations, particularly Latin American ones, in today's meeting. For that reason too we understand the Council's being so very cautious, though, for our part, we would have preferred it to be more emphatic in its creation of the multinational force's mandate, its terms of operation and the transition to the second phase of the operation, in which UNMIH can fully assume its functions. And we also understand that in the implementation of the resolution we shall have to be at least as scrupulous as we have been in its drafting. The resolution we have just adopted establishes an advance group of UNMIH of 60 personnel to establish the appropriate means of coordination with the multinational force.”

“It must be stressed that in the view of both the Secretary-General, as expressed in his report of 15 July, and the Council, as expressed in the terms of the resolution we have just adopted, the work carried out by the multinational force and, subsequently, by the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) in the second phase of the operation will be aimed at assisting the legitimate authorities of Haiti in carrying out their constitutional functions. Spain wishes to convey in advance its appreciation to the States that propose to contribute towards the objectives of the multinational force and later to the reconstituted, reinforced UNMIH in a complex operation designed to render a service to the Haitian people and to the international community as a whole. We are aware of the risks and dangers entailed in an operation of this type.”

“19 Spain, which attaches great importance to the principle of non-intervention, especially on the American continent, supported resolution 940 (1994) because of the singular and exceptional circumstances of this case, because of the clear position taken by the legitimate authorities of Haiti and because the action to be initiated will not be carried out unilaterally but, rather, within a multilateral and institutional framework, under the authority and control of the United Nations.

It must be stressed that this decision is an exceptional one, taken in response to the singular circumstances attending the Haitian crisis.

“Hence, the decision we have taken today in adopting resolution 940 (1994) is a difficult one that has been made unavoidable by the obstinacy with which the de facto authorities of Haiti have failed to comply with the resolutions of the Security Council and to fulfil the commitments they undertook, with the United Nations as witness and guarantor, in the Govemors Island Agreement. It should be recalled at this point that in resolution 873 (1993) of October 1993 the Security Council declared its willingness to consider the imposition of additional measures if the de facto authorities kept to their course of provocation and defiance. Their attitude since that time cannot be described in any other terms.”

“In these circumstances it became necessary for the Council to consider the best way to achieve, with the desired speed and effectiveness, the objectives set by the international community. Those objectives, within the framework of the Governors Island Agreement and the New York Pact, signed more than a year ago and yet to be fully implemented, are none other than the restoration of democracy in Haiti and the return of its legitimate President, Mr. Jean-Bertrand Aristide. In the pursuit of those objectives, the international community has proved its willingness to exhaust all possibilities for a peaceful settlement of the crisis, as was pointed out by the representative of Argentina, among others. No member of this Council wanted, or wants, to give up on that possibility until it is shown to be out of reach.”

“24) A few weeks ago the defiance of the international community by the authorities who unlawfully hold de facto power in Port-au-Prince reached new heights when, in an attempt to rid themselves of some bothersome witnesses to their practices, which violate the most elementary principles of civilized society, they expelled the personnel of the International Civilian Mission. At the same time, we are all aware that the sanctions regime, though the great majority of States are complying with it, has had too many leaks and, in any case, has seemed not to be enough to persuade the de facto authorities to alter their attitude. It has also contributed to the prolongation of the suffering of the Haitian people, which was not the intention of the international community.”

“Finally, we wish to express our gratitude and support to the personnel of the United Nations system dedicated to the delivery of humanitarian assistance in Haiti, who face a very difficult situation on the ground every day. The reports of the Secretary-General have been extremely enlightening, and they have helped the Council to form a precise idea of our choices for a more decisive action on the part of the international community in order to resolve the crisis in Haiti. As the Secretary-General points out in his report of 15 July, "The senior leadership of the Armed Forces of Haiti continue to defy the will of the international community and to inflict murder, rape and torture on the ... people of Haiti ...".

We also wish to pay a tribute to the selfless actions of the personnel of the United Nations and the Organization of American States (OAS) who, as members of the International Civilian Mission in Haiti (MICIVIH), carried out crucially important work in the observation of the human rights situation in Haiti, until, in an arbitrary action that was quite rightly condemned by the Council, they were forced to leave the country by the de facto authorities.”

This new atmosphere should make it possible for the negotiations being conducted under the sponsorship of the United Nations, with the Russian Federation as facilitator and the participation of representatives of the CSCE, to make progress towards a final, comprehensive political solution to the problem on the basis of the principles contained in the United Nations Charter and the relevant Security Council resolutions, in particular the principle of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Georgia.”

I am referring in particular to the principles contained in the documents adopted by the Helsinki Summit of 1992 and the Ministerial Meeting in Rome of 30 November to 1 December 1993, specifically those of respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, the consent of parties, impartiality, multinational characteristics, transparency, a clear mandate, a connection with a political process to solve the conflict and a plan for an orderly withdrawal.”

I would like to note that my delegation understands this freedom of movement to include freedom of access to all areas which UNOMIG considers it necessary to enter in order properly to discharge its mandate. There must also be full cooperation between UNOMIG and the CIS peace-keeping force in the discharge of their respective mandates, functions and duties. This would be facilitated by the speedy conclusion of the agreements and arrangements mentioned in the resolution we have just adopted.”

We hope that the presence of the new United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) personnel, together with that of the peace-keeping forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) will give a decisive impetus to this process, in accordance with the mandate just adopted by this Council. In order properly to discharge this new mandate, UNOMIG will require the full cooperation of the parties, which have already given guarantees that they will give it the necessary protection.”

“10 The first elements of that force have begun to be deployed in the field, and they are achieving satisfactory results, as can be seen from the Secretary-General's report of 12 July and from information provided by the Russian Federation. We are sure that this will make it possible for the security zone established in the area of conflict to be free of troops and heavy military equipment of both parties to the conflict, thereby restoring the necessary atmosphere of peace. This atmosphere of peace is necessary for the return of refugees and displaced persons to their homes in secure conditions, without which it would be difficult to establish the necessary framework for a lasting reconciliation.”

In accordance with a request by the parties and the Secretary- General's recommendation, observers belonging to the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG), whose strength the Council has decided to increase and whose mandate has been enlarged, will from now on work in close cooperation with the peace-keeping force of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).”

“My delegation pays tribute to the Secretary-General for his frankness in denouncing the inadequacy of the international community in the face of the agony of Rwanda and for his condemnation of the genocide which has been carried out in that country. We trust that today's resolution will make it possible to demonstrate that his efforts have not been in vain.”

“At the same time, it is extremely important that the efforts of the Secretary-General and of his Special Representative continue and be intensified, together with those of the Organization of African Unity and the countries of the region, to promote a cease-fire and political dialogue as well as to speed up the deployment of the expanded UNAMIR. The establishment of a Commission of Experts, as we have proposed, will contribute to clarifying the facts with respect to the killings in Rwanda and to the carrying out of justice, and will also, we are certain, make it possible to facilitate a political settlement by focusing responsibility on specific persons rather than on ethnic, social or political groups. This will allow the people of Rwanda to recover their faith and hope for a better future, free of the demons of the recent past.”

“Spain promoted this initiative, together with other Council members, because it feels that the Security Council should react to the grave violations of international humanitarian law, including acts of genocide, being perpetrated with total impunity in Rwanda, by determining the facts and bringing those responsible for such crimes against humanity to justice. This objective was reaffirmed by the European Union at its meeting of Heads of State and Government in Corfu on 24 and 25 June, at which the European Council expressed its horror at the genocide in Rwanda and stated that those responsible should be brought to justice.”

“One objective of the draft resolution which my country, together with seven other co-sponsors, is submitting for the consideration of the Security Council is the establishment of an impartial Commission of Experts to examine and analyse all the available information on the serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in Rwanda since the beginning of the current conflict. Indeed, as the Secretary-General points out in his report, only a proper investigation can establish the facts in order to determine responsibility.”
