OBJET: DRAFT SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENCY AT THE 43RD SESSION OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UNITED NATIONS
21.
IN ASIA, SOLUTIONS TO THE MOST SERIOUS CRISES SEEM TO BE EMERGING. THE TWELVE WELCOMED THE SIGNING OF THE GENEVA AGREEMENTS
ON AFGHANISTAN AND THEY NOW EXPECT THAT ALL PARTIES CONCERNED
SHALL SPARE NO EFFORT IN PURSUING THE PEACE PROCESS. AN OVERALL
POLITICAL SETTLEMENT OF THE AFGHAN PROBLEM IMPLIES THE
WITHDRAWAL OF ALL SOVIET TROOPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AGREED TIMETABLE, THE UNIMPEDED RETURN OF REFUGEES AND, IN PROCESS OF SELF-DETERMINATION, THE SETTING UP OF A FULLY REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. IN THIS CONNECTION, THEY CONSIDER PARTICIPATION BY THE RESISTANCE TO BE INDISPENSABLE.
ALSO, FROM THIS FORUM, I WISH TO REITERATE THE WILL
OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AND ITS MEMBER STATES TO
CONTRIBUTE TO THE RESETTLEMENT OF REFUGEES AND TO THE RECONSTRUCTION
OF THE COUNTRY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROGRAMMES LAID DOWN IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE UNITED NATIONS.
22.
IN ADDITION, A RETURN TO PEACE AND STABILITY IN SOUTH-EAST
ASIA IS STILL CONTINGENT UPON ON A SOLUTION BEING FOUND TO THE
PROBLEM OF CAMBODIA. THIS CONFLICT IS THE RESULT OF A FOREIGN
MILITARY OCCUPATION IN VIOLATION OF THE
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE U.N. AND INTERNATIONAL LAW AND MUST BE BROUGHT TO AN END. IN THIS CONNECTION, THE INFORMAL DJAKARTA MEETING IN JULY WAS AN ENCOURAGING SIGNAL TOWARDS A POLITICAL SOLUTION OF THE CONFLICT RESULTING IN AN INDEPENDENT, DEMOCRATIC, NEUTRAL AND NON-ALIGNED CAMBODIA. THERE SHOULD BE NO RETURN TO THE
TERRIBLE ABUSES OF THE PAST. THE TWELVE RENEW THEIR APPEAL TO
VIETNAM TO WITHDRAW ALL ITS TROOPS FROM CAMBODIA. WE CALL UPON ALL
