repugnance, ~he Sub-Commission, above all other bodies, was called upon E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/SR.34 page 10 to make a firm statement, particularly bearing in mind the situation of diplomatic personnel. He therefore proposed that the following paragraph should be added to the preamble: "Horrified by the statement of President Saddam Hussein that innocent civilians will be moved to sensitive military areas in defiance of international law, disturbed that diplomatic personnel are being detained without food or water or electricity, in total disregard of basic humanitarian considerations". 75. He also proposed the addition of the following operative paragraph: "Recommends further that the Secretary-General be requested to express to President Saddam Hussein the deep concern of this body at the violations of international law". 76. Mr. TIAN JIN said that he was opposed to the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq and in favour of an immediate total and unconditional withdrawal. The sovereign independence and territorial integrity of Kuwait should be restored and respected, and the Government of Iraq should guarantee the safety and freedom of foreign nationals in Kuwait and Iraq and allow them to leave the country with all speed. The Gulf crisis should be resolved by peaceful means and the Government of Iraq should respect the human and fundamental rights of the Iraqi people. 77. Regarding the allegations in the draft resolution of violations of human rights in Iraq, he had no reliable official information and would therefore abstain if a vote were taken on the draft resolution. 78. Mr. JOINET appealed to Mr. Treat to withdraw his amendment, not because of the substance, but because the draft resolution was one of the most sensitive on the Sub-Commission's agenda. Achieving a balance had been very difficult and he was afraid that any effort to go beyond the present text would diminish the results.

The discussion revolves around the violation of international law, human rights, and the situation of diplomatic personnel and foreign nationals. The language used is formal and diplomatic, suggesting a UN-related document.
