2. SUMMARY: THE SYG'S REPORT ON UNAMIR (5/1554/550)
DATED MARCH 30 DESCRIBES THE POLITICAL, MILITARY AND
HUMANITARIAN EVENTS OF THE PAST 3 MONTHS. IT RECOMMENDS

AFTER TWO MONTHS IF THE TRANSITIONAL GOVERNMENT IS STILL
NOT IN PLACE. THE FRENCH HAVE PREPARED A DRAFT
RESOLUTION (SEE BELOW) WHICH FOLLOWS THE SYG'S
RECOMMENDATION, AND AUTHORIZES DEPLOYMENT OF 45
ADDITIONAL CIVILIAN POLICE. USUN CIRCULATED THE DRAFT
RESOLUTION IN REFTEL TO THE PERM FIVE, NIGERIA AND APRIL
SC PRESIDENT NEW ZEALAND, WHICH AUTHORIZES ONLY A
TWO-MONTH EXTENSION OF THE MANDATE. CONSULTATIONS ON
UNAMIR RENEWAL WILL BEGIN MONDAY, APRIL 4. EMBASSY
PARIS MAY WISH TO SPEAK WITH FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTRY
OFFICIALS ABOUT THE LENGTH OF RENEWAL. END SUMMARY.

THE
SYG'S
REPORT
STATES THAT SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
3.
INTER-PARTY TALKS HAVE STILL NOT RESULTED IN
ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRANSITIONAL GOVERNMENT. THE
CEASE-FIRE IS GENERALLY HOLDING. THE SECOND UN
BATTALION HAS ARRIVED, AND UN TROOPS ARE DEPLOYED IN THE
DMZ AND KIGALI. THE 60 CIVPOL MONITORS HAVE LOOKED INTO
MANY REPORTS OF KILLINGS AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.
THE CIVPOL ARE ONLY IN KIGALI; 45 MORE CIVPOLS ARE
NEEDED IN ORDER TO DEPLOY TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.
THE THREAT OF FAMINE LOOMS.
4. THE SYG NOTES, IN HIS CONCLUSION, THAT "CONTINUED
SUPPORT FOR UNAMIR WOULD DEPEND UPON THE FULL AND PROMPT
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ARUSHA AGREEMENT. THE UN PRESENCE
CAN BE JUSTIFIED ONLY IF THE PARTIES SHOW THE NECESSARY
POLITICAL WILL TO ABIDE BY THEIR COMMITMENTS AND TO
IMPLEMENT THE AGREEMENT." HE ENCOURAGES FURTHER
DIALOGUE. HE RECOMMENDS A SIX MONTH EXTENSION OF
UNAMIR; HOWEVER, IF TRNASITIONAL INSTITUTIONS ARE NOT
INSTALLED IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS, AND THE NEXT PHASE OF
THE AGREEMENT IS NOT IMPLEMENTED, HE RECOMMENDS THAT THE
COUNCIL "REVIEW THE SITUATION, INCLUDING THE ROLE OF THE
UNITED NATIONS".

AROUND THE LENGTH OF MANDATE RENEWAL, AND AUTHORIZATION
FOR ADDITIONAL CIVILIAN POLICE. THE FRENCH ARE ACTING
ON INSTRUCTIONS IN ADVOCATING A SIX-MONTH RENEWAL WITH A
TWO-MONTH REVIEW.
6. COMMENT: THE SYG'S RECOMMENDATION FOR A SIX-MONTH
RENEWAL IS CONSISTENT WITH A NEW UN POLICY. THE SYG AND
HIS BEAN-COUNTERS HAVE TOLD THE P-5 IT WOULD BE EASIER
TO PREPARE THE PAPERWORK AND CRUNCH THE NUMBERS FOR
PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS IF IN GENERAL PKO'S HAD LONGER
MANDATES. BECAUSE OF SEVERAL SHORT-TERM RENEWALS OF
VARIOUS MISSIONS, UNHQ PREPARED OVER 100 SEPARATE
BUDGETS IN 1993. WHEN POLITICALLY FEASIBLE, THE UN
WOULD LIKE TO PUT AS MANY PKO'S AS POSSIBLE ON SIX MONTH
MANDATES. USUN WILL BE OPPOSING, IN THE APPROPRIATE
BUDGET FORUM, ANY ATTEMPT TO CREATE A BLANKET POLICY,
BEARING IN MIND THE NEED TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON PARTIES
TO MAKE PROGRESS, NOT ONLY IN RWANDA, BUT IN LIBERIA,
ANGOLA AND OT
HER COUNTRIES AS WELL. RWANDA IS THE FIRST
TEST-CASE OF THE NEW UN POLICY. WE INTEND TO FIGHT IT
HERE, SINCE WE BELIEVE IT IS NOT POLITICALLY WISE. WE
DO NOT BELIEVE THAT A "REVIEW" AFTER TWO-MONTHS WILL

7. THE PERM FIVE WILL MEET MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 4.
(GOOD FRIDAY IS A UN HOLIDAY.) USUN WILL ATTEMPT TO
RECONCILE THE TWO DRAFTS BY DELETING PARA 3 OF THE
FRENCH TEXT, AND AMENDING PARA 2 TO READ "DECIDES TO
EXTEND THE MANDATE OF UNAMIR UNTIL 9 JUNE 1994, AT WHICH
TIME THE SC WILL REVIEW THE SITUATION...ETC". SINCE THE
FRENCH PREPARED THIS DRAFT ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM PARIS,
IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF WE SPOKE TO THE FRENCH BOTH
IN WASHINGTON AND IN PARIS, TO ENCOURAGE SOME
FLEXIBILITY ON THE LENGTH-OF - MANDATE QUESTION.
