48. Mr. OTUNNU (Uganda): On behalf of the delegations of Guyana, Ireland, Jordan, Togo, Zaire 5 and my own delegation, I have the honour to introduce the draft resolution contained in document S/15122. 49. In the view of the sponsors of this draft resolu- tion, a definite area of consensus has emerged in the debate which the Council has been holding for the last several days. Many delegations which have spoken have expressed deep concern over the conflict in and around the Malvinas Islands. They have expressed particular concern over the tragic loss of life and over the danger that the conflict posed to international peace and security. 50. Many delegations expressed their support for the Secretary-General’s efforts and expressed their desire to have the Secretary-Genera1 renew his mis- sion of good offices within the framework of a formal mandate from the Council. 51, Most delegations expressed the desire to see the Council initiate measures which would,put an end to the present hostilities. The draft resolution before the Council seeks no more than to express these areas of consensus. The essential and most significant pro- visions in the draft resolution are these. 52. First, in operative paragraph 2, the Council: "Rcqumis the Secretary-General, on the basis of the present resolution, to undertake a renewed mission of good offices, bearing in mind resolu- tion 502 (1982) and the approach outlined in his statement of 21 May 1982”. 53. Secondly, in operative paragraph 3. the Council “UI.KCS the parties to the conflict to co-operate fully with the Secretary-General in his mission with a view to ending the present hostilities in and around the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas)“. 54. The third element is contained in operative para- graph 4, which requests the Secretary-General to begin discussions with the parties immediately
