first and foremost the citiaens of Kuwait, a country that has fallen victim to a circumstance ue have condemned anb rejected. We continue to call for an immediate solution to that situation. Putthetmore, punished by the Security Council, and now even more with theee new mea8utecb ate the people of Iraq and the nationals of many other States present on Iraqi Or Ruwaiti territory. Every day 5n more alarmtnq terms there ete repotts concerning the situation confronting the populations there. Even had we not been informed in this regard by the mass media, the Council hae received more than one communication calling for the adoption of urgent mea8utea to keep people from dying for lack of foodstuffs. We have read the letters from the Ambaeeadors of India, the Philippines and other countries. They have called upen this body, which was not compelled to adopt Rxi/5 WPV.2939 72 (MF. de Quesada.1 resolution 661 (1990). in a spirit of humanitarianism to deal with the situation in which their innocent civilians find themselves. Not only has the Security Council not responded to those appealst it i& now invited to adopt a draft resolution that would basically make even more difficult and distant the possibility of hoping any real substance can be given to our so-called humanitarian premises. The draft resolution submitted to us does not explain to us what will happen to the 100,OOC Sri Lankans that have been trapped on Kuwaiti territory, and no one has even suggested how they can receive foodstuffs. The Security Council will now establish machinery that is not urgent and not motivated by the anxiety ana haste that caused us to spend so many nights in this Chamber in August but by exemplary patience and singular tranquillity at a time when we are dealing with human suffering.
