The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
The Republic of Panama
JOINT PRESS =LEASE
The Presidents of El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama:
Conscious of the senousl international situation which currently prevails as a result of the
nonfulfilment by Iraq of the United Nations Security Council resolutions, particularly resolution
1441, which demands a disarmarnent of its nuclear, chemical, biological capacity and its long range
missiles.
Being aware of the ~iatementresulting from the Summit held in the Azores Islands with the
participation of the United States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and North
Ireland, Spain and ~ o r t u g d ,includes promises to free Iraq, to restore democracy,the end of
sanctions, and provision of hurnanitarian assistance for the Iraqi population
i
Having those discussions in mind and the diverse proposals analysed within the United Nations
Security Councils
l
I
They issue the followhg~jointpress release:
1. They express their conviction that the actions promoted by the international community in
the United Nptions multilateral frarnework have granted Iraq the opportunity to adapt its
behaviour to the collective decisions which are of obligatory observance emanating from the
body responsible of maintaining the world peace and security
2. Regret that in spite of the International Cornmunity efforts, specially through the United
Nations Security Council, the Govemment of Iraq continually fails to fulfil the fundamental
purpose of resolution 1441 aimed at reaching an immediate and unconditional d i s m a m e n t
in that country, to prevent the real threat it poses to international peace and security
3. Renew their concem for the regrettable situation of the democratic institutions in that
country, as well as the serious violations to human rights and fundamental freedom of the
Iraqi people.
4. Consider that a defining moment has come for the Govemment of Iraq to disarm itself and
to stop the negative and dilatory attitude that arises suspicion of the existence of massive
destruction weapons in its temtory
5. Make an urgent call to the international community, particularly the United Nations Secunty
Council, so that they assume their collective responsibility in the full compliance of
resolution 1441, thus maintaining the faith and credibility placed on them by the
International Community
6. Reiterate their commiiment in the search for democracy, international peace and respect of
human rights and renew their indeclinable cornmitment to reach them.
