The Committee notes that those efforts are consistent with the principles contained in the Declaration on Kampuchea 2/ adopted by the International Conference on Kampuchea. The Committee believes that the progress achieved in that regard will provide the basis for furthering the process of À/CONF.109/16 English Page 6 dialogue and negotiation among the Cambodian parties and for the early establishment of the Supreme National Council. 21. The Committee remains convinced that the long-term interests of all parties to the conflict lie in a negotiated settlement leading to the establishment of a sovereign, independent, neutral and non-aligned Cambodia. It is the hope of the Committee that all parties concerned will contribute actively to the negotiating process and demonstrate the necessary political will, thereby creating the conditions for the lasting peace and stability to which the Cambodian people have aspired for so long. The Committee will continue to support all efforts aimed at achieving that goal.
