Wal fonguTTeC Eitan

JP/ig S/PV.2994

(Mr. Al-Nima, Iraq)

My delegation has comments to make on the draft resolution in document
§/22686. First I should like to give a comprehensive review clarifying the
implementation of resolution 687 (1991) - the degree of Iraq's compliance and
the fulfilment of its responsibilities under that resolutiou.

Tre Iraqi Government accepted resolution 687 (1991), expressing its
formal acceptance on 6 April in a message to the President of the Security
Council and the Secretary-Genmeral. I wish to state that the Iragi Government
both accepted the resolution and dealt with it positively.

Allow me, Sir. to review the measures taken by the Iragi Goverament to
implement the provisions of that resolution in fulfilment of its obligations
under it.

First, as regards section A, on the demarcation of the boundary between
Iraq and Kuwait, the Iragi Government designated a representative to attend
meetings of the demarcation Committee, which held its first meetings in New
York on 23 and 24 May this year. The representative of Iraq participated
effectively and constructively in the work of that session.

Secoadly, as regards section B, concerning the deployment of observers in
the area between Iraq and Kuwait, the Iragi authorities on a number of
occasions received in Baghdad the head of the observer team, Major-General
Gunther Greindl, and his assistants following his appointment, and steps on

the deployment of the team in the demilitarized some were agreed in May.
BCT/sk/mt S/PV.2994

(Mc. Ad-Nima, Iraq)

There is conntant cooperation between the competent Iraqi authorities and
the observer team, through the proper channels, as wall as between those
authorities and the head of the team and the United Nations Secretariat.

Thirdly, as regards section C of the resolution, which called for the
implementation of the obligation to destroy weapons of mass destruction and
not to use, develop or possess such weapons, Irag has deposited ratification
documents in which it accepts the Convention on the Prohibition of the
Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological)
Weapons of 10 April 1972, as well as its unconditional obligations under the
Geneva Protocol of 17 June 1925 for the Prohibition of the Use in War of
Asphyziating, Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of
Warfare. The Iraqi Government has presented information conceraing the
locations, quantities and types of chemical weapons and ballistic missiles and
has agreed to submit to on-site inspection, in accordance with the
resolution. Iraq has also undertaken the unconditional obligation not to use,
develop, manufacture or acquire any of the material referred to in the
resolution. It has confirmed the obligation it has assumed under the
non~proliferation Treaty of 1968. 1Irag has unconditionally agreed not to
produce or possess nuclear weapons or any materials that could be used to
manufacture such weapons. Iraq has also notified the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) of the message by the Foreign Minister dated
27 April 1991 in which he capressed Iraq's willingness to cooperate in the
implementation of the provisions of the resolution; annexed to the message
were tables giving information on the nuclear facilities in Iraq. Detailed
data on the situation regarding other weapons referred to in the resolution
have been given to the Special Commission established in connection with the

implementation of section C of the resolution.
BCT/sk/mt 8/PV.2994

(Mr. Al-Nima. Iraq)

In a letter to the Secretary-General in May 1991 Iraq expressed its
agreement to the proposals concerning immunities and privileges for the
Special Committee and its teams that would visit Iraq. The special inspection
team on nuclear weapons visited Iraq between 14 and 22 May 1991. On
23 May 1991 the IAEA, in a statement, confirmed that the Iraqi side had
cooperated fully with the inspection team and acceded to all its requests.
The special inspection team on chemical weapons, accompanied by the Chairman
of the Special Commission, started its mission with a visit to Iraq between 9
and 15 June. Iraq provided the inspection team with ali the means necessary
to ensure the success of its mission.

With regard to section D of the resolution, concerning the return of
Kuwaiti property, Mr. Richard Foran, an Assistant Secretary-Gemeral, visited
Iraq twice in May 1991. The Iraqi authorities expressed their willingness to
return property about which it had notified the United Nations Secretariat.
Actually, one civil aircraft belonging to Kuwait was handed over in Amman on
11 May 1991. Mr. Foran visited the sites and other locations and inspected
the gold coins and banknotes, the antiguities and books, and the civil
aircraft that were to be returned to Kuwait after agreement was reached on the
place of delivery. Mr. Foran regarded the aforemontioned items as having
prioriey. There can be no doubt that the same treatment would apply to other
Kuwaiti property.

Fifthly, as regards sections E and F of the resolution, concerning
compensation and the lifting of sanctions, no measures are required vy Iraq.

As for section G, measures continue to be taken by the Iragi authorities
in connection with the return of all Kuwaiti and third-country nationals to

their countries of origin. Iraq has provided a list containing the names of
BCT/sk/mt S/PV.2994
8

(Mr. Al-Nima. Iraq)
such persons. A mission of the International Committee of the Red Cross was
given access to the locations in Baghdad where these persons were being
detained. It should be noted that 6,366 persons have been freed and
repatriated. Among these, 6,289 were Kuwaitis, 36 Americans, 5 Italiams,

13 Saudis, 17 French, 1 Spaniard, 2 Brazilians, 1 Norwegian, 1 Uruguayan and
1 Irish. The Iraqi authorities are still carrying out research to find the
missing from among the Coalition countries so that they can be returned to
their countries after registration by the mission of the International
Committee of the Red Cross.

The competent Iraqi authorities have facilitated the task of the
International Committee of the Red Cross in directly registering the Ruwaiti
nationals in Irag. More than 3,000 Kuwaitis have thus been registered. The
remains of 15 persons have been returned to the Coalition countries.

As for section H of the resolution, concerning international terrorism,
the following should bo noted.

Iraq has participated with the international community in efforts to
combat international terrorism. It should be noted that the draft resolution
which was adopted by the General Assembly on 9 December 1985 as resolution
40/6) was adopted in the Sixth Committee under the chairmanship of Iraq during
the fortieth session of the Assembly. The representatives of many countries
expressed their appreciation of the efforts made by Iraq to that end.
Moreover, Iraq is a party to some of the most important international
conventions dealing with crimes of terrorism, such as the Coaveailion on
Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Alreraft, signed at Tokyo
in 1963; the Convention cu the prevention of hijacking, signed at The Hague in

1970; the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety
BCT/sk/mt §/PV.2994
9-10

(Mc. Al-Nima, Iraq)’
of Civil Aviation, signed in Montreal in 1971; and the Convention on the
Preventioa and Punishment of Crimes against Interuationally Protected Persoas,
including Diplomatic Agents, signed in New York in 1973. Iraq also took part
in the final stages of the drafting of the International Convention against

the Taking of Hostages, adopted in New York in 1979.
EMS/7 §/PV.2994
11

(Mr. Al-Nima. Iraq)

Moreover, Iragi legislation approaches terrorist crimes from two angles:
prevention and punishment. Iraq's penal code does not view terrorist crimes
as political crimes.

The Government of the Republic of Iraq does not pursue any policy with
respect to international terrorism that runs counter to interaational law. As
stated previously, its position is consistent with that of most members of the
international community. In his letter dated 11 June 1991 addressed to the
Secretary-General in accordance with paragraph 32 of resolution 687 (1991),
our Foreign Minister confirmed that Iraq would commit no act that could be
considered international terrorism or permit any organisation intending to
commit such an act to operate within its territory, and that Irag condemns
unequivocally and renounces all acts, methods and practices of terrorism.

My country’s Govermmont wishes to affirm its absolute readiness to
cooperate with respect to the implementation of section C of resolution
687 (1991) and its desire not to raise any obstacle to implementation of the
resolution. Unfortunately, my Government notes that paragraph 4 of draft
rasolution §/22686, concerning adoption of the Secretary-General’'s plan for
the implementation of section C of resolution 687 (1991), makes the Goverament
of Irag liable for all the costs of carrying out the tasks entrusted to the
Secrotary-General, My Government rejects liability for the cost of destroying
the chemical weapons. On the other hand, it affirms its willingness to
cooperate and by its own efforts voluntarily to destroy or render harmless the
said weapons. it has at its Siapcssl tho nccessary ewpartisa and tachnieal
facilities to do 80 in a way that will achieve the desired objective under the
supervision and to the satisfaction of United Nations experts. My Govermment

is prepared to discuss this subject with United Nations experts im order to
EMS/7 S/PV.2994
12

(Mc. Al-Nima. Iraq)
confirm the destruction plan formulated by its technicians and to establish
the plan's exact details by carrying out practical tests and determining what
additional measures the destruction will require, together with any additional
input of resources, in accordance with internationally accepted procedures in
this regard.

Participating in this way will reduce the cost of destruction and the
period of time required for the implementation of the destruction plan and
also reduce the dangers arising during the destruction process, especially at
a time of extremely hot and dusty local weather conditions.

3he PRESIDENT (interpretation from French): I thank the
representative of Iraq for the kind words he addressed to me.

It is my understanding that the Council is now ready to proceed to the
vote on the draft resolutions before it. Unless I hear any objection I shall
put the draft resolutions to the vote in the order of their submission.

There being no objection, it is so decided.

I now put to the vote the draft resolution contained in document 8/22686.

A vote was taken by show of hands.

A vote was taken by show of hands.
In favour: Austria, Belgium, China, Cote d'Ivoire, Cuba, Ecuador,
France, India, Romania, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United
States of America, Yemen, Zaire, Zimbabwe
The PRESIDENT (interpretation from French): There were 15 votes in
favour. The draft resolution has thus been adopted unanimously as resolution
700 (1991).

I shall now call on members of the Council who wish to make statements
following the voting.

Mr. AL-ASHTAL (Yemen) (interpretation from Arabic): Let me begin,
Sir, by congratulating you most warmly on your assumption of the presidency of
the Security Council for this month and on the wise leadership, skill and
enthusiasm you have already displayed during your tenure.

I wish also to thank the Permanent Representative of China, who conducted
the affairs of the Council last month with success.

Wo listened to the statement by the representative of Iraq and have read
his letter addressed to the Secretary-Gemeral (8/22682), and are thus aware
that Iraq is prepared to cooperate in the implementation of section C of
resolution 687 (1991) through the plan the Council has just approved in its
resolution 699 (1991). This follows upon Iraq's acceptance on 6 April 1991 of
resolution 687 (1991) and of its implementation.

It was natural for my delegation to vote in favour of resolution
699 (1991), but I should like to state the following. When the delegation of
Yemen abstained in the vote on resolution 687 (1991), with particular concern

about its section C relating to the destruction of weapons of mass destruction,
EMS/7 §/PV.2994
14-15

(Mr._Al-Ashtal. Yemen)
wo indicated that for the sake of maintaining international peace and security
in the region we thought it essential to deal with the question of disarmament

and the destruction of weapons of mass destruction on the basis of the entire

region, not only for a single country.
RC/8 S/PV.2994

(Mr. Al-pAshtal. Yemen)

It is well known that Israel possesses large quantities of chemical,
bacteriological and nuclear weapons. Other countries in the area possess
similar weapons. We believe that regional peace and security can be
maintained only through a policy conducive to disarmament in the region as a
whole. To deal with this problem by addressing one country exclusively.
irrespective of the reasons for such an approach, would definitely lead to a
military imbalance in the region, thus jeopardizing peace and security there.
That is why we had hoped and wished that the question of disarmament would be
considered in a broader parspective. We now hope that this is just the
beginning and that similar measures will be taken regarding weapons of mass
destruction in the Middle East.

Secondly. as regards paragraph 4 of the resolution, we believe that it is
unjust te call upon Iraq to defray the costs of destroying these weapons,
because the process of destruction itself has been imposed om Iraq and that
country is currently experiencing a critical economic situation as a result of
the embargo and the sanctions imposed on it since 6 August 1990. We have seen
the reports prepared by such neutral circles as the United Nations Children's
Fund (UNICEF) and the Harvard University mission, which show that the
sanctions have led to serious difficulty for and harm to the Iraqi people,
including the children. In addition to all the other vietims of this
destructive war, there are the Iraqi people, including the children. That is
why we do not see any justification for calling on Iraq to bear the
responsibility for paying for the destruction of those weapons.

The PRESIPENT (interpretation from Freamch): I thank the

representative of Yemen for his kind words addressed to me.

Mr. ZAMORA RODRIGUEZ (Cuba) (interpretation from Spanish): As this
is my delegation's first statement at a formal meeting of the Council this
month, permit me, Sir, t¢ congratulate you on your assumption of the
presidency of this body. I wish to convey to you how pleased we are to see
you guiding our work during a month which is complex and full of activities,
not only because of the relationship of friendship which unites our countries
and Missions, but also because your diplomatic skills and the frank and open
manner in which you conduct our deliberations will facilitate our task of
achieving the most fruitful results possible in June.

I should also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ambassador
Li Daoyu, the Permanent Representative of China, for his leadership during the
month of May. It is only elementary justice to note that it was owing to his
perseverance and skilful work that the Council was able to take actions under
his presidency for the maintenance of international peace and security, which
is the Council's mandate under the Charter.

I should like to comment on resolution 700 (1991), which we have just
adopted. First. our delegation deoms it a mistake to have decided to entrust
to the Committee set up under resolution 661 (1991) the function of
supervising compliance with the sanctions in the area of weapons laid down in
paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991). In Cuba‘s opinion - and as we had
occasion to express during the bilateral consultations held by the Secretariat
with a view to preparing the report in document $/22660, and subseguently
during the informal consultations held by members of the Council a few days
ago - the task of supervising the arms embargo against Iraq should have been
entrusted to am organ set up for that purpose, not to the body which already

exists for supervising economic sanctions.
RC/8 S/PV.2994
18-20

(Mr. Zamora Rodriguez.
Cuba)

My delegation is conviaced that the economic sanctions, which first and
foremost have an intolerable effect on the civilian population of Iraq, and
which may give rise to consequences of unforeseen magnitude and seriousness,
as has been clearly indicated by university researchers and the expert
missions of the Organization itself, should speedily be lifted - indeed they
should have been lifted - whereas the military sanctions embodied in the arms
embargo could last for quite a long time and will be characterized by a
complex array of features. We believe that during the period in which the two
types of sanctions are dealt with by the same body we will experience various
technical difficulties which will bring excessive pressure to bear on the
so-called Committee on Sanctious.

Furthermore, the fact that there is no list of the products and materials
subject to the embargo could possibly lead to excessive flexibility. This
will not only complicate the work of the organ which supervises the
implementation of paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991), but may also lead to
confusion, whether intended or not, with regard to so-called dual-purpose
materials whose import into Iraq would be prohibited. Whila we are the first
to understand that the drafting of a list would be a difficult and lengthy
task, such a list would have the merit of allowing us clearly to differentiate
between materials for military uses and those which are not. This would be
particularly useful when the economic sanctions under resolution 661 (1990)

are lifted.
JB/9 §/PV.2994
21

(Mr. Zamora Rodrigues,
Cuba)

There are some elements of the Secretary-Geaeral's report (8/22660) on
which we would like to comment. First, in paragraph 6 of the guidelines
proposed by the Secretary-Gemeral, one of the functions of the Committee is to
provide guidance to States and to international organizations on matters
concerning the implementation of paragraph 24 of resolution 687 (1991) through
the elaboration, as necessary. of relevant criteria. It also makes clear that
the Committee, when needed, will reach agreed interpretations of items falling
within the specified categories of proscribed items and activities. It seems
to us that these functions are legislative in nature and that they would fall
more readily within the purview of the Security Council than of one of its
subsidiary bodies.

In another respect, in paragraph 10 of the report, under the heading
entitled “Principles of implementation”, we read that:

“Nothing in the present guidelines will preclude any State or group
of States from adopting further measures aimed at achieving effective
implementation of the arms and related sanctions against Iraq, in
accordance with the relevant provisions of resolution 687 (1991)".

In our view, this paragraph should not be interpreted as an invitation to
impose unilateral measures that could go beyond the resolution itself, the
provisions of which are binding on all States. However, although Cuba has
stated and continues to express its agreement on the arms embargo against
Iraq, my delegation believes that we should not miss the opportunity offered
Py the posi-wai period Lo facilitate in the Midis Toast - wheis Lhe ratio of
weapons to inhabitants is one of the highest in the world - agreements on
security, disarmament and arms control which include all countries of the

region without exception and which would constitute a natural corellary to
JB/9 S/PV.2994
22

(Mr. Zamora Rodrigues.
Cuba)

serious and equitable efforts aimed at a just and lasting solution to the
Arab-Israeli conflict, and in particular the Palestinian question, which is at
its core.

I should now like to refer to resolution 699 (1991), which we have just
adopted, on the destruction of specific types of weapons in Iraq in accordance
with the provisions of section C of resolution 687 (1991). Although in the
course of consultations among members of the Council attempts were made to
answer questions raised by some delegations - and I appreciate those efforts -
some elements contained in the resolution continue to be of concern.

First, we are concerned about the fact that the Secretary-General's
report and the plan presented to us in compliance with paragraph 9 (b) of
resolution 687 (1991), contained in document §/22614, has not included a
specific timetable for the destruction or removal of weapons and materials in
Iraq referred to in section C of the resolution. We understand the technical
complexities of such activities, but the fact of not having a provisional
timetable for these activities runs the risk that the process will be
continued and create additional difficulties for the Iraqi people to return to
a normal life and for the couatry to recover its sovereigaty.

Cuba is of the view ~ and it has so stated iam the relevant bodies
considering international agreements on the elimination of weapons of mass
destruction - that each country should bear all the costs of destroying its
own weapons. However, in the light of the request made to the
Secretary-General in operative paragraph 4 of the resolution just adopted that
he submit to the Council within 30 days for approval recommendations as to the
most effective means by which Iraq's obligations in this respect may be
fulfilled, we should not lose sight of that country's real capacity to pay,

bearing in mind the sanctions regime still in place and the fact that once it
JB/9 §/PV. 2994
23

(Mr. Zamora Rodriguez,
Cuba)

is lifted Iraq will have to contribute to the compensation fund in accordance
with amounts established by the governing council on thy basis of the
uppermost limits the Security Council may determine in due time.

Furthermore, we wish to state very clearly that, according to my
delegation's interpretation, the assistance encouraged in operative paragraph
4 of the resolution is strictly voluntary in nature and in no way entails
establishing any financing mechanism which would entail obligations for Member
States in accordance with Article 17 of the Charter.

In connection with the item now under consideration, Sir, 1 recall the
letter dated 19 April that I had the honour to address to the President for
that month, the Permanent Representative of Belgium, reiterating the positions
of my country at the time of the adoption of resolution 687 (1991), especially
with regard to the selectivity in the area of the destruction and elimination
of certain types of weapons.

It is well known that Cuba is in favour of the universal elimination of
nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and all means of delivery, including
ballistic missiles. In that context, it is our firmeat belief that the
elimination of these types of weapons and means of delivery, instead of having
been imposed selectively on Iraq, should be imposed in a regional context
without exception based on political or other considerations and should have
included Israel, a country which not only possesses weapons of mass
destruction but also maintains a policy of aggression in the Middle East ia
defiance of Security Council decisions.

We are pleased to see that other members of the Council concur with our
views on the elimination of these types of weapons and military means, as can

be seen in documents recently issued.
JB/9 S/PV.2994

The PRESIDENT (interpretation from French): I thank the
representative of Cuba for his kind words addressed to me.
There are no further speakers on my list. The Security Council has thus
concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.

The Security Council will remain seized of the matter.

The meeting rose at 5.30 p.m.
