Some of what has been said in this meeting by the representatives of the United States, of the United Kingdom and of Kuwait serve to highlight one important point: namely, who is it that truly wants to solve the problem and to establish security and stability in the region.
We spoke in this meeting…
The meeting of the Security Council today acquires a special and major significance. We have always wished for the facts, all the facts, to be laid before the Council and world public opinion.
What are those fundamental facts? Mr. Andrei Kozyrev, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Fede…
The representative of the United States exercised her right of reply in respect of the statement made this morning by my Deputy Prime Minister. She alleged that our statement attacked the United States, misrepresented the facts about Iraq’s lack of compliance with Security Council resolutions and in…

I should like to
extend my apologies to you. Sir, and to members for speaking at this late
hour.
A short while ago, the Foreign Minister of Kuwait spoke of certain
•elements of Security Council resolution 687 (1991), claiming that Iraq has not
, implemented them. I should like to refute all his…

Members here must no doubt have taken note of the fact that the statement by the representative of the Zionist entity was nothing but an attack against the United Nations. In fact, nothing has undermined the United Nations as much as the Zion- ists' flagrant violations of the Charter of the Organiza…
The Zionist entity has officially rejected the boundaries delineated and recognized by the United Nations for the Jewish State in Palestine. Furthermore, to this day the Zionist entity has refused to define its boundaries. The inter- national community cannot extend recognition to a State which dema…
I should like to draw to the attention of the Israeli representative-the Zionist representative-that what he claims to be the State of Israel claims boundaries and claims a capital which have not been recognized by the Assembly. He cannot. expect to have such an entity imposed upon the United Nation…
My delegation will vote in favour of draft resolution A/37/L.45/Rev.1. How- ever, the fourth preambular paragraph refers to the Hright of all States in the region to existence within internationally recognized boundaries". Now, a State, in terms of international law, envisages sovereignty within cer…
Mr. President, my col- league Mr. AI-Zahawi read out the sub-amendment and I myself read it out. It does not contain the phrase "in violation of the Charter". You can check the tape, Mr. President, since everything here is recorded on tape.
My delegation has listened very carefully to the sub-amendment of the United States [A/37/L.37] to my delegation's amend- ments [A/37/L.34]. I wish to point out, however, that the report of IAEA before us deals with the specific Israeli attack against the Iraqi nuclear facilities. It was the one and…
I wish to inform you, Mr. President, that the situation has now changed. A compromise has been reached and my delegation feels that the Assembly could proceed to the vote now.
As chairman of the group of the Islamic States, It IS my ho" nour to ·introduce, on beh~lf of the States members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the draft resolu- tion on co-operation between the United Nations and the Organi.zation of the Islamic Conference. contained in doe- .urnent…
It is very disturbing and odd that at a time when the international community is calling for the witharawal of the Zionist entity from the occupied Arab territories,
395. The actions of the Zionist entity in recent years and especially, during this year, its aggression against Lebanon and Iraq demo…
Mr. President, I apologize heartily for having to exercise the right of reply a second time.
242. There is a proverb which says th3t if you do not have a sense of shame, you can do wh: tever you want. It seems to me that the representative of Khomeini is not ashamed of lying and fabricating. In any…
I admit at the outset that words, no matter how'eloquent and pithy, and information, no matter how abundant, will be unable to describe and portray the bloody Iranian re- gime led by Khomeini and his coterie of ayatollahs and mullahs. I am sure that representatives do not need any more information a…
