VOTE ON THE DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR RWANDA WHICH FOLLOWS IN
PARAGRAPH 4. EXPLANATION OF VOTE FOLLOWS IN PARAGRAPH 3.
3. BEGIN TEXT. THE UNITED STATES HAS SUPPORTED THE PEACE
PROCESS IN RWANDA FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WE ARE
CONCERNED, HOWEVER, OVER THE CONTINUING DELAYS IN
INSTALLING THE TRANSITION INSTITUTIONS. FOR THIS REASON,
WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THE SECURITY COUNCIL'S DECISION TO
LIMIT THE EXTENSION OF UNAMIR'S MANDATE AND CALL ON THE
COUNCIL TO UNDERTAKE A REVIEW WITHIN 6 WEEKS OF THE
PROGRESS MADE BY THE PARTIES TOWARD IMPLEMENTING THE
ARUSHA ACCORD, AND THE ROLE OF THE UN, INCLUDING UNAMIR'S
FUTURE.
WE BELIEVE THAT UNAMIR HAS PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN KEEPING
THE PEACE IN RWANDA UNDER DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. THE
UNAMIR FORCES SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR THEIR SERVICE. THE
PARTIES IN RWANDA ARE VERY CLOSE TO REACHING AGREEMENT ON
THE COMPOSITION OF THE TRANSITION INSTITUTIONS. WE CALL
ON ALL SIDES IN THE POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS TO REDOUBLE
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
STATE 090772 070158Z
PAGE 03
THEIR EFFORTS AND ACT IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST TO PUT THE
TRANSITION GOVERNMENT IN PLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THE CONTINUING POLITICAL IMPASSE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE
DETERIORATING SECURITY SITUATION IN RWANDA. WE HAVE BEEN
SADDENED BY THE CONTINUING POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND URGE
RWANDANS TO REJECT VIOLENCE IN ALL ITS FORMS AND COMMIT
THEMSELVES FULLY TO THE PEACE PROCESS.
THE ARUSHA ACCORD WAS JUSTIFIABLY HAILED AS AN HISTORIC
ACHIEVEMENT IN REGIONAL CONFLICT RESOLUTION. IT PROVIDES
THE BLUEPRINT FOR TRANSITION TO FULL DEMOCRACY AND
NATIONAL RECONCILIATION AND MUST BE FULLY AND
EXPEDITIOUSLY IMPLEMENTED IN ALL ITS PROVISIONS. WE CALL
AGAIN ON ALL PARTIES TO IMPLEMENT THE ARUSHA ACCORD SO
THAT THE RWANDAN PEOPLE WILL FINALLY KNOW PEACE AND
SECURITY. END TEXT OF EOV.
