for the maintenance of law and order in South Africa, to take appropriate actions, including actions to deal with questions relating to police partisanship and white-extremist involvement. BHS/csm A/45/PV.10 63 (Mr. Abu Hassan. Malaysia) In South-East Asia, the Cambodian conflict will, we hope, come to a peaceful end soon. The recent agreement in Jakarta of all the Cambodian parties to accept the framework document of the permanent five as a basis for a comprehensive ' political settlement and the formation of the Supreme National Council is a promising start to the process of achieving a just and durable peaceful solution. The adoption of Security Council resolution 668 (1990), in which Malaysia fully participated, should provide further impetus to the efforts to speed up this process. The Cambodians themselves must now resolve their remaining differences, and it is also for them to demonstrate greater flexibility in the drawing up of a comprehensive political settlement. This will make possible the early reconvening of the Paris International Conference on Cambodia, where a peace agreement on the protracted conflict can be signed and sealed. As a member of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), which has long involved itself in seeking a comprehensive political settlement of the Cambodian problem, Malaysia welcomes the progress made thus far and stands ready to welcome the decision of the Cambodian people in regard to their own future, through free and fair elections organized and conducted by the United Nations. Against the backdrop of rapprochement between the two super-Powers and a definite trend towards a reduction in regional tensions, the invasion of Kuwait on 2 August came as a major shock, underlining the fragility and volatility of our international system. Malaysia was distressed by the resort to armed intervention by one Muslim brother against another, both of whom Malaysia values in friendship.
