UN General Assembly
1988

Peace in Cambodia depends on national reconciliation based on equality among all the political parties of the coalition and on respect for human rights and fundamental freedom, within the framework of a liberal democratic government. Thus, it is not a question of trying to isolate, still less, e1ininate, anyone. We are talking about a government of national reconciliation, that is, the Quadripartite Provisional Government of National Reconciliation, whose task it would to prepare and organise general and free elections under international supervision. After the general agreement on the total withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia, an international conference will be convened with the participation of all the countries concerned, the five permanent members of the Security Council and the United Nations Secretary-General. That conference will adopt all necessary measures to guarantee the agreement, as well as the independence and neutrality of Cambodia and prevent any possible return of Vietnamese forces and the illegal and violent seizure of power by one of the Cambodian parties.
