thousands of third-country nationals who remain in Iraq and Kuwait and for whose welfare, contrary to the repeated demands of this Council and conventions of international law to which it is a party, the Government of Iraq steadfastly refuses to bear any responsibility. The plight of these distressed people as brought home to all of us day after day has deeply touched the hearts of all Canadians. RH/ll WPV. 2939 54-55 (Hr. Portier, Canada) The resolution we have adopted today establishes a framework by which this body and the Committee it created pursuant to the adoption of Security Council resolution 661 (1990) will determine the existence of humanitarian circumstances which require that foodstuffs he supplied to the civilian population in Iraq or Kuwait in order to alleviate human suffering. In the view of the Government of Canada it is important, it is vital, that any foodstuffs sent to the territory of either Iraq or Kuwait be provided through appropriate humanitarian agencies and distributed by them or under their supervision. Only by proceeding in this way can we be sure that these foodstuffs will reach their intended beneficiaries, including the most disadvantaged individuals. In this connection the Government of Canada warmly welcomes the decision of the Secretary-General to appoint Prince Sadruddin Agha Khan as his Personal Representative for humanitarian assistance relating to the crisis, in particular the problems of third-country nationals. We call upon the Government of Iraq to co-operate fully and without delay with the Secretary-General’s Personal Representative and to facilitate the early and full implementation of the resolution this Council has just adopted. The human tragedy to which we are bearing witness, and which is affecting the nationals of many Member States of the United Nations, must not and cannot be allowed to continue.
