The President
There were 15 votes in favour. The rest of the draft resolution contained in document S/1994/571 has been adopted unanimously.
Since all the sections of the draft resolution contained in document S/1994/571, as orally revised in its provisional form, have been adopted, may I take it that the draft resolution as a whole has been adopted?
There being no objection, it is so decided.
The text of t…
Mr. Mérimée
Rwanda is experiencing one of the most tragic periods in its history. Tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of civilians have been massacred. None of the traditional safe havens - churches, hospitals or headquarters of humanitarian organizations - have been spared in this unleashing of violence. Faced with a humanitarian catastrophe of such magnitude the international community could …
Mr. Keating
I need to begin, I regret, by saying that in the view of my delegation the first speaker in our debate should not have spoken. I say this for two reasons. First, in the view of my delegation he does not represent a State. He has no legitimacy and is merely the mouthpiece of a faction. He should not have been seated in a privileged position at this table. Secondly, he has, in the view of my delega…
Mr. Inderfurth
The cries of the victims in Rwanda have been heard calling upon the Security Council to act. The sheer magnitude of the humanitarian disaster in that tragic country demands action. This Council has struggled to formulate a response that is both appropriate and effective. To do so we went to extraordinary lengths today for two reasons.
First, the United States wants the United Nations to succeed …
Mr. Valle
Since the beginning of April, events in Rwanda have been evolving tragically. Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed, and more than a million people have been displaced by the ensuing violence. We are witnessing an appalling humanitarian
Unfortunately, the commendable efforts undertaken by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and the UNAMIR Force Commander, as well as th…
Mr. Cardenas
Since the events of 6 April 1994, with the violence and the atrocious, systematic massacres that were unleashed, Rwanda has been submerged in a humanitarian crisis of enormous proportions. The detailed report that the Secretary-General has submitted to us in connection with the situation in Rwanda tells us that almost 2 million
Some sources estimate the deaths at approximately 200,000 persons. T…
Mr. Yañez Barnuevo
The delegation of Spain is gratified by the adoption of resolution 918 (1994), co-sponsored by the delegation of Spain. Based upon a proposal by the Secretary-General, the resolution expands the mandate and the size of UNAMIR in order to contribute to the safety and protection of displaced persons, refugees and civilians at risk in Rwanda, and aims at providing support and security for the supply…
Mr. Kovanda
The crocodiles in the Kagera river and the vultures over Rwanda have seldom had it so good. They are feeding on the bodies of the thousands upon thousands of children and women, hundreds of whom were pregnant, and men who have been hacked to death during the past six weeks by what has turned out to be a most vicious regime.
The massacres include 4,000 killed in Kibeho; 5,500 butchered in Cyahind…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Nigeria.
My delegation has made it clear on several occasions in the discussions on this subject that Rwanda’s situation is an exceptionally tragic one requiring a solution which would, in large measure, have to be extraordinary. It is true that a desperate disease requires a desperate cure. My delegation also remains convinced tha…
