1. “The outrageous crimes perpetrated by the Serbs on 4 and 5 February against defenceless citizens in Dobrinja and Sarajevo,9 which claimed the lives of scores of people and inflicted injuries on hundreds, cruelly shocked the international community, which forced those who have been silent in the face of the continuing Serbian crimes to take action, which we had thought would deter the aggressor. But now we see that those actions have also become captive of a narrow discriminatory view and balances of interests, which has caused them to fall short of the grave event. Addressing a 10-day ultimatum to the Serbians has enabled them to resort to manoeuvres and deception. Thus, they declared a cease-fire at the outset, but soon began threatening vengeance.”

2. “The long silence observed by the international community - especially the Security Council - and its slowness in putting an end to Serbian aggression, allowed the aggressors to implement all their sinister designs against the Muslim people of Bosnia, whose wound has been aggravated by the international community, which deprived it of its most rudimentary right to self-defence and to life and which penalized it by depriving it of weapons under resolution 713 (1991).”

3. “The tragedy of the Muslim people of Bosnia is one of the challenges which will continue to haunt the conscience of the world and furnish proof of the inability of the international community to champion the lofty principles and ethical values represented by the Charter of this international Organization. The international community has continued to deal with a question relevant to the fate of an entire people on the basis of a double standard. This people is threatened by annihilation through the policies of "ethnic cleansing", concentration camps and humiliation, through the use of such Nazi and fascist means as systematic rape and other such shameful acts.”

4. “Mr. YASSIN (Sudan) (interpretation from Arabic): Allow me to extend thanks to you, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to address the Security Council. I should also like to congratulate8 you on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for this month, which is replete with serious and significant events. I am certain that your wise guidance will greatly contribute to the Council's achieving just and positive results. We should also like to congratulate the President of the Council last month, the Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic, Ambassador Karel Kovanda, who also skillfully discharged the duties of the presidency.”
