Robin Cook Peace Quotations

Nobody is saying that it's for the government of Sierra Leone to get on for itself, ... We are heavily involved in making sure they are able to do that in both building up their army and by also providing by far the largest donation to the peace process since the rebuilding of Sierra Leone.

We cannot accept any peace that does not allow refugees to return and return safely,

There is a difficulty in the peace process in that while all three tracks remain in stalemate, it is hard for any party in the negotiations to feel confident in the possibility of progress, ... And because there is no confidence in the possibility of progress, it is difficult to generate momentum toward progress.

Last night, (Yugoslav) President (Slobodan) Milosevic made what he called a peace offer. He said he was starting to withdraw his troops from Kosovo,

We would also like to see (Resolution 425) implemented in the context of a comprehensive settlement which would enable progress on the peace process for all the tracks, not just one track, ... I wish to make sure that all sides can live in security.

We want peace, but it must be a peace that makes Kosovo safe for the refugees to go home

We want the peace talks to resume on all tracks as soon as possible,

And I hope he will be willing to work with us and with the international community to take forward that peace process,

enables us to escape from the stalemate that we had on which way to make forward on the peace track.
