We welcome the Secretary-General’s decision to hold a pledging conference for Liberia at the United Nations on 27 October 1995 for the demobilization and reconstruction of Liberia, as well as assistance for ECOWAS in the implementation of its mandate. As we Liberians forge ahead in a determined effort to restore peace in our country and embark on the reconstruction programme, it is imperative that the international community should provide the requisite support and encouragement to the new Liberian leadership. In this connection, we recall that earlier this year the Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity adopted resolution 1585 on Liberia which, inter alia, called on the international community to “recognize and give full faith and credence to the current Liberian National Transitional Government and its successors”. It is my Government’s firm belief that the full implementation of this recommendation by Member States 11 will serve to revive and strengthen the bilateral relations
