Mr. Mérimée
First of all, I should like to thank the delegations that have been so kind as to express their condolences — which I shall not fail to convey — to my Government and to the families.
The Council last week adopted a statement condemning, in the strongest possible terms, the deliberate attacks on the personnel of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), who are serving the cause of peace in…
Mr. Gomersall
My Government condemns without reservation all attacks on the personnel of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and shares in the grief of France at the loss of two of their valiant peace-keepers. The death of these two French soldiers last week amounts to deliberate murder. The parties concerned have a responsibility to ensure that these kinds of attacks stop, and the perpetrators of t…
Mr. Inderfurth
My Government joins with the Council and with the Government and people of France in expressing sorrow and anger at the recent murder of two French soldiers serving as peace-keepers in Bosnia. They died, as so many have died in that tragic land, at the hands of cowardly snipers. This resolution will not bring those brave soldiers back. But it should serve to renew our resolve that the parties to …
Mr. Lavrov
The Russian delegation supported the unanimous
Russia, which has sent its own national contingent and a significant number of military and civilian police observers to Bosnia and Herzegovina, knows very well how high is the risk to the lives and the safety of the international personnel as they carry out their peacekeeping functions in that region. The number of deaths in UNPROFOR is already clo…
Mr. Cárdenas
A few days ago the Security Council, with some sense of hope, adopted three resolutions that established new mandates for the United Nations presence in the former Yugoslavia. Today, on the other hand, the Council has just adopted resolution 987 (1995) because of the alarming, continuing and serious deterioration of the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in particular, and in Croatia.
The cowa…
Mr. Fulci
The recent cowardly murder of two French UNPROFOR soldiers in Sarajevo is for us, also, a source of profound sorrow and strong indignation. These feelings were expressed personally by the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Agnelli, in her statement here in New York yesterday at the NPT Review and Extension Conference. And even as we speak a wire has just arrived from Gorazde with the news …
Mr. Graf Zu Rantzau
On behalf of my Government I have today, together with all the other members of the Security Council, voted in favour of the draft resolution which the Council has adopted today.
This resolution, as we all know, was called for by the assassination of two French soldiers in the service of peace. The feelings of my delegation and of my Government are divided between profound compassion for the fam…
The President
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.

The Security Council,
Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions on the conflicts in the territory of the former Yugoslavia and reaffirming in this context its resolution 982 (1995) of 31 March 1995 and in particular its paragraphs 6 and 7,
Expressing its grave concern at the continued fighting in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina despite the agreements on a cease-fire and on the complete cessation of hostilities concluded on 23 and 31 December 1994 (S/1995/8), and deploring the violations of these agreements and of the ban imposed by its resolutions 781 (1992) of 9 October 1992 and 816 (1993) of 31 March 1993 by whomsoever committed,
Stressing the unacceptability of all attempts to resolve the conflict in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina by military means,
Noting once again the need for resumed negotiations aimed at an overall peaceful settlement of the situation in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the basis of the acceptance of the Contact Group peace plan as a starting-point,
Gravely preoccupied at the recent attacks on the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) personnel in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and at the fatalities resulting therefrom, condemning in the strongest terms such unacceptable acts directed at members of peace-keeping forces and determined to obtain a strict respect of the status of United Nations personnel in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Reaffirming its determination to ensure the security of UNPROFOR and its freedom of movement for all its missions, and, to these ends, acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
1. Emphasizes once again the responsibility of the parties and others concerned in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the security and safety of UNPROFOR and, in this context, demands again that all parties and others concerned refrain from any act of intimidation or violence against UNPROFOR and its personnel;
2. Recalls its invitation to the Secretary-General, in this context, to
submit proposals on any measures which could be taken to prevent attacks against
UNPROFOR and its personnel and allow it to perform effectively its mission, and
invites him to submit such proposals on an urgent basis;
3. Calls upon the Bosnian parties to agree to an extension of the
agreements on a cease-fire and complete cessation of hostilities concluded on
23 and 31 December 1994 beyond 30 April 1995 and looks to all parties and all
others concerned to cooperate fully with UNPROFOR in their implementation;
4. Urges all parties and others concerned to resume forthwith
negotiations towards an overall peaceful settlement on the basis of the
acceptance of the Contact Group peace plan as a starting-point;
5. Decides to remain seized of the matter.
