1. “Ecuador believes in peace and in law. The international legal order established after the Second World War is being tested. My country urges that it remain fully in force and that multilateral cooperation be strengthened in order to build a more secure and just world in greater solidarity.”

2. “Therefore, Ecuador urges the Government of Iraq to cooperate fully in the effective implementation of Security Council resolution 1441 (2002). In that context, the United Nations inspectors should continue their work until they complete the process aimed at the peaceful, transparent and verifiable disarmament of Iraq, and should submit the relevant reports for the Council's consideration and for its decision. The situation concerning Iraq must be addressed in conformity with the norms of international law, primarily those contained in Chapter VII of the Charter. Only the Security Council - when the facts and circumstances so require - will thus be able to determine whether or not there are grounds to use force through an explicit resolution that would set forth the conditions for the use of force, if appropriate.”

3. “Mr. Yepez Lasso (Ecuador) (spoke in Spanish): Ecuador is a peace-loving country that bases its foreign policy on the strictest compliance with the principles and norms of international public law, which are clearly and precisely articulated in the Charter of the United Nations. Therefore, my country firmly defends the binding nature of the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes and the proscription of the use of force in international relations, except in cases envisaged in the San Francisco Charter itself. Ecuador has always supported the Security Council's jurisdiction over the maintenance of international peace and security. All of its resolutions must be respected by the parties, and it is incumbent upon the Council to ensure their full implementation.”
