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 BOGOR MEETING WAS AN ENCOURAGING STEP TOWARDS A POLITICAL SOLUTION OF THE CONFLICT RESULTING IN AN INDEPENDENT, DEMOCRATIC, NEUTRAL AND NON-ALIGNED CAMBODIA. WE EXPRESS OUR FIRM SUPPORT FOR THE CONSTRUCTIVE EFFORTS MADE BY ASEAN AIMED AT ENABLING THE CAMBODIAN PEOPLE TO FREELY DECIDE THEIR OWN FUTURE. WE APPRECIATE THE ESSENTIAL ROLE THAT PRINCE SIHANOUK CAN PLAY IN A NEW CAMBODIA THAT MUST BE FREE FROM ANY PROSPECT OF RETURN TO THE UNIVERSALLY CONDEMNED POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF THE RECENT PAST. THE TWELVE RENEW THEIR APPEAL TO VIETNAM TO WITH- DRAW ALL ITS TROOPS FROM CAMBODIA. WE CALL UPON ALL CONCERNED TO PURSUE THEIR EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE A JUST AND COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REPEATED U.N. RESOLUTIONS.

FURTHERMORE, THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF REFUGEES
FROM INDOCHINA IS A SOURCE OF SERIOUS CONCERN FOR THE TWELVE. IN COOPERATION WITH THE COUNTRIES OF FIRST ASYLUM AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ALLEVIATE THE SUFFERING OF THESE REFUGEES AND TO HELP WITH THEIR INTEGRATION OR RESETTLEMENT. WE BELIEVE THAT VIETNAM MUST ASSUME URGENTLY ITS RESPONSIBILITIES ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL LAW AND INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED PRACTICE.

AS TO THE DIVISION OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA AND THE CONTINUING
TENSION THERE, WE WELCOME EFFORTS FOR A RESUMPTION OF THE SUSPENDED DIRECT DIALOGUE BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH AS THE ONLY WAY TO REACH A SOLUTION BY PEACEFUL MEANS. AS IN THE PAST, WE EXPRESS AGAIN OUR HOPE THAT ON THE BASIS OF THE PRINCIPLE OF UNIVERSALITY THE PEOPLE OF KOREA MAY SOON GAIN FULL MEMBERSHIP TO THIS ORGANIZATION. IT IS ENCOURAGING TO NOTE THE PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS DEMOCRATIC REFORMS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA. (TURNING NOW TO THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN SEOUL AND WHILE REGRETTING THAT UNIVERSALITY IN PARTICIPATION HAS NOT BEEN ACHIEVED, WE EXPRESS APPRECIATION BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKING PLACE IN AN ATMOSPHERE CONSISTENT WITH THE CLASSICAL IDEAL WHICH GAVE BIRTH TO THEM).
25. THE TWELVE HAVE REPEATEDLY AND FIRMLY CONDEMNED TERRORISM IN
ALL ITS FORMS. WE REAFFIRM THE PRINCIPLES ADOPTED BY THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL IN 1986, IN PARTICULAR THAT OF NO CONCESSIONS UNDER DURESS TO TERRORISTS OR THEIR SPONSORS# WE HAVE NEVER LEFT ANY DOUBT ABOUT COLLECTIVE DETERMINATION TO FIGHT TERRORISM BY ALL
