1.

UNCLASSIFIED

THIS IS AN ACTION CABLE.

2. MISSION IS INSTRUCTED TO VOTE FOR THE SECURITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION ON RWANDA (REF D) A DRAFT EOV IS CONTAINED IN
PARAGRAPHS 3-6 FOR USE BY USUN.
3. LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CONGRATULATE BOTH THE
GOVERNMENT OF RWANDA AND THE RWANDESE PATRIOTIC FRONT FOR
THEIR SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS TO NEGOTIATE A PEACE ACCORD,
WHICH RESULTED IN THE SIGNING OF THE ARUSHA PEACE
AGREEMENT ON AUGUST 4, 1993. I CONGRATULATE THE
FARSIGHTED LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES WHO HAD THE COURAGE TO
PUT ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES AND OPT FOR PEACE OVER WAR.
ASO, I SHOULD. COMMEND BOTH THE ORGANIZATION OF AFRICAN
UNITY AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF
TANZANIA FOR THEIR ROLES IN BRINGING THE TWO PARTIES
TOGETHER.
4. THE RESOLUTION JUST ADOPTED BY THE SECURITY COUNCIL IS
ANOTHER MAJOR STEP IN RESOLVING THE CONFLICT IN RWANDA. I

HAVE EVERY HOPE THAT OUR ACTION TODAY WILL REINFORCE
PEACE--A CRUCIAL PREREQUISITE WHICH ALLOWS BOTH PARTIES TO
&UILD ON THE TRUST THEY HAVE CREATED. WE SUPPORT THE
DEPLOYMENT OF THIS FORCE BECAUSE IT WILL ADVANCE THE GOALS
OF PEACEFUL CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND DEMOCRATIZATION, AND
ALLOW THE RETURN OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THOSE WHO
HAVE FLED THEIR HOMES. IT IS NOW UP TO THE RWANDANS
THEMSELVES TO ENSURE THAT THE TRANSITION TO DEMOCRACY
MOVES FORWARD.
5. AS YOU KNOW, MY GOVERNMENT IS DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH
THE INCREASING BURDEN--BOTH IN TERMS OF MANPOWER AND
FINANCIAL RESOURCES--WHICH THE UNITED NATIONS IS BEING
ASKED TO SHOULDER. FOR THAT REASON, WE ARE PLEASED TO
NOTE THAT THIS RESOLUTION HAS A TIGHTLY FOCUSED MANDATE.
THIS BODY'S CONTINUED SUPPORT WILL DEPEND, IN LARGE
MEASURE, ON THE DEMONSTRATION OF SUBSTANTIVE PROGRESS
TOWARDS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PEACE AGREEMENT AND THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF TRANSITIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN ADVANCE OF
NATIONAL ELECTIONS. MY GOVERNMENT WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR AND WORK TO REDUCE COSTS AND PERSONNEL LEVELS
THROUGHOUT THIS PEACEKEEPING OPERATION, AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO THE REPORT BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL CALLED FOR
IN THE RESOLUTION ON WAYS TO REDUCE UNAMIR'S LEVELS AND TO

CONTAIN COSTS.

6. NOW THAT THIS RESOLUTION HAS PASSED, LET ME STRESS THE
NEED FOR THE UNITED NATIONS AND ALL MEMBER STATES TO TAKE
PROMPT ACTION TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PRESENT CLIMATE OF
COOPERATION. LET US HELP RWANDA BEGIN THE PROCESS OF
DISARMAMENT AND DEMOBILIZATION IN ORDER TO ALLOW RWANDANS
