Mr. Mérimée (France)
My delegation welcomes the fact that by adopting resolution 914 (1994) today the Council has finally granted to the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) the reinforcements requested by the Secretary-General. I say "finally" because we feel that this decision has come late and that for a month there has been an urgent need to give the Force the means to carry out the new tasks entrusted to i…
The President
I thank the representative of the United Kingdom for his kind words addressed to me.
Mr. Yañez Barnuevo (Spain)
On behalf of the Spanish delegation, I too wish to welcome you, Sir, as you preside over today’s debate. Over the past few days, news reports have provided a glimmer of hope amid the tragedy in Bosnia and Spain has always maintained that only at the negotiating table can a suitable, lasting solution to the conflict in the former Yugoslavia be found. In that context of politics and negotiations …
The President
I thank the representative of Spain for the kind words he addressed to me.
Mr. Cardenas (Argentina)
I wish on behalf of my delegation to welcome to the Council the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, External Relations, Trade and Pacific Island Affairs of New Zealand, and also to say a word of praise for the tireless labours of the Permanent Representative of New Zealand, Mr. Colin Keating.

The President
I thank the representative of Argentina for his kind comments.

Recently,…
Mrs. Albright (United States of America)
Along with my colleagues, Mr. President, I am delighted to see you here. It is especially appropriate that you should be here on a day when we are considering the subject of Bosnia, one which has taken up a great deal of the time of the Council. The resolution we have adopted today is eloquent in its brevity, but even more so in its action. With my Government’s full support, the Council has give…
The President
I thank the representative of the United States for her kind comments.
Mr. Sardenberg (Brazil)
I wish to start by conveying a warm welcome to you, Sir, as you preside over this meeting of the Security Council. The delegation of Brazil welcomes the Security Council’s adoption of resolution 914 (1994). It is indeed a positive development that the Council has agreed on the troop reinforcement suggested last month by the Secretary-General. As I have had the opportunity to stress on previous …
The President
I thank the representative of Brazil for his kind comments. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade of New Zealand. When this Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) for a further six months at the end of March, New Zealand was very concerned that it was not possible to increase the numbers of UNPROFOR personne…
