While my delegation has no wish to comment on the way the Acting President has guided us, I should like to voice our concern over the item before us, which has been persistently postponed without clearly stated reasons being given to the General Assembly.
If I may request the courtesy of the presid…
On behalf of my delegation, I wish to echo the words of my colleague from the Russian Federation. This is a very delicate issue, and I believe that the Assembly will agree with my delegation that the necessary consultations with our capitals will enable us to participate with greater precision. The …
Allow me at the outset, on behalf of my delegation, to express our warm congratulations to Mr. Diogo Freitas do Amaral his election as President of this body. We are confident that his rich wisdom and long experience will benefit this session in the realization of its noble goals. To this end I pled…
I wish to thank you, Mr. President, for this opportunity to address the Security Council during its consideration of the situation in Somalia, a subject of great importance to us all.
Allow me also to express my profound gratitude in seeing you, a native of a sister country, Botswana, presiding ove…
I wish to crave the indulgence of the President. Our purpose in drawing the President’s attention to this situation was not in any way to hinder the progress of the Assembly but merely to place it on record that we do not have the English versions of some of the documents and that we have fully conf…
I regret to say that, despite that confirmation from the President, I have been to the documents desk several times and have been told that the English set of documents is incomplete. The documents officer told me that they are expecting the missing documents. I can produce the officer to whom I tal…
I apologize for interrupting the President while he is performing his noble task here in the Assembly. However, my delegation would like to place it on record that we do not have the English versions of some of the documents on which the President is asking the
During the debate in the First Committee we were still in the process of liaising with our capital in regard to our position on the draft resolution concerning agenda item 71. We have the pleasure to report that we can now take a position in favour.
The President has correctly advised the Assembly that, since the voting machine has not been locked, those who feel that they have inadvertently voted incorrectly have enough latitude to change. However, to start from the beginning would be unfair to those who voted as they wished to. I therefore co…
In this case, too, my delegation was not able to participate in the decision in the First Committee because we were awaiting instructions from our capital. I am pleased to announce that we have now received those instructions.
Here again, we could not participate in the decision in the First Committee because we had not received word from our capital. Fortunately, we are ready today.
My delegation wishes to explain that we could not hammer out any position in the First Committee because we were awaiting instructions from our capital. Fortunately, my delegation is now ready to take action as per instructions.
My delegation appreciates the report (A/50/670) of the Secretary-General on the implementation of the outcome of the World Summit for Social Development and the report (A/CONF.166/9) of the World Summit for Social Development held in Copenhagen in March 1995.

On behalf of His Majesty the King, the Indlovukazi and the entire nation of the Kingdom of Swaziland, allow me again to express our deepest grief over the sad events that have recently befallen the State of Israel, where they lost a son, a leader and a
On behalf of my delegation, I welcome this opp…
Before I make my statement on this subject, allow me to present this quotation:
We are here today, bringing all our efforts together to restructure the Security Council. But I have these questions: How many times do we ever invite God to come and intervene in the problems that beset the United Nati…
My delegation has a problem with regard to this draft resolution, which seeks to outlaw some bona fide Members of the United Nations. Let it be said that in the past 50 years the question of language has never been in any way responsible for either the failures or the successes of the Organization.

I bring with me the warmest greetings and good wishes of His Majesty King Mswati III, Her Majesty the Indlovukazi, the Government and the people of the Kingdom of Swaziland, to all our friends and fellow Members of the United Nations.
Swaziland extends its congratulations to Mr. Freitas do Amaral o…

I offer my country's sincerest congratulations to Mr. Ganev on his

Not only the General Assembly but the world at large is aware of the suffering endured by the people of Namibia, not by their free choice but because of the unfortunate situation they hap- pen to be in. It is a very unfortunate situation, and while it exists the whole of southern Africa will continu…
