November 2, 1995

Statement by Mr. Thomas S. Masuku

...Let us act expeditiously. The experiences of Rwanda and Yugoslavia should serve as a lesson to the international community. Violations of human rights will continue to mushroom if we as the United Nations do not act swiftly and decisively to protect the dignity of mankind.

The Kingdom of Swaziland will be watching closely and with keen interest the decision to be taken by the General Assembly on this issue and is of the firm view that preparatory meetings be organized and if necessary be held on a more regular basis to address the outstanding issues in readiness for the Conference of Plenipotentiaries in 1997.
