resolution. However, we cannot but feel perturbed over the apparent headlong rush, moving from one resolution to another in a period of seven weeks. The quet3tiOn may be asked whether enough time is given for each resolution to take effect. Are we moving at this speed to make sanctions effective, or are we readying ourselves early for a situation where we will conclude that sanctions are not effective and that other measures must therefore be taken? Malaysia will not accept the latter course being applied, We do not accept that war is inevitable or BCT/ljb G/W.2943 62 (Mt.) that we are eocalatiag towards a confrontation. Malaysia believes our sense of uneasiness is shared by many outside the Council and that the Council should take stock of where it is going. Many countries too are enduring much suffering because of the sanctions that we have had to apply. Malaysia is not aatisffed that, as an international community and within the operations of the Sanctions Committee established under resolution 661 (1990), we have addreaued ourselves enough to assisting countries that petition for help under Article 50. Much more has to be done. We cannot turn a blind eye to the fate of hundreds of thousand8 of foreigners, particularly from Ash, who are caught stranded in Kuwait and Iraq. Humanitarian cogniaance must be accorded in such situations, and the Sanctions Committee should move swiftly, without political impediments being thrown in its way. Malaysia, as a principle, is averse to the involvement of the armed forces of major Powers in any region. That we had to be party to authorising the use of forces of certain countries in respect of resolution 665 (1990) does not sit easy with US. Further, the line of authority is not satisfactorily spelled out in resolution 665 (1990) and effect has yet to be given to the resolution*s provision 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a pressing international issue, specifically the implementation of sanctions and the potential use of force in a regional conflict. The language used suggests a focus on international relations, diplomacy, and humanitarian concerns, rather than economic or social development. The speaker seems to be advocating for a more measured approach to addressing the situation, with a emphasis on assisting affected countries and ensuring humanitarian aid is provided.
