UH/U s/w. 2938 51 (Mr. Anet, C&o d’Iwoire1 Through our resolutions 660 (1990), 661 (1990), 662 (1990) and 664 (1990) and the diplomatic actions taken by certain States , we have striven to impress upon traq the urgent need to terminate these actions, which are both illeqal and abSWd. Xraq has refused to entertain any such approaches. Our presence in this Charpbcr at this hour is praf that the international ammunity failed in its attempt to make the traqi authorities see reason. We hiled because we did not equip ourselves with the meaM of succeeding. Wa failed because the means with which we eguiwd ourselves IV implement the resolutions we adopted, especially that concerning the embargo, were deficient.

**Analysis**
The text appears to be a speech or statement from a representative of the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) to the United Nations, criticizing the behavior of the Iraqi authorities and urging for the termination of their actions. The language used is diplomatic and formal, with a focus on international law, the United Nations Charter, and the need for respect for these principles. The speech does not mention specific economic, environmental, or scientific issues, but rather emphasizes the importance of upholding international law and the need for the international community to take action.
