22 October 1993 and 49/16 of 17 November 1994 concerning the item entitled
"International assistance for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of
Nicaragua: aftermath of the war and natural disasters", in which it requested
the international community to continue providing support to Nicaragua, taking
into account the exceptional circumstances faced by that country, and
requested the Secretary-General, in coordination with the Nicaraguan
authorities, to provide the assistance necessary in the process of
consolidation of peace,
Deeply concerned at the fact that the recent natural disasters that have
occurred in Nicaragua, the burden of the foreign debt, despite its reduction
and renegotiation achieved with the collaboration of the international
community, and the harmful effects on its economy of the prolonged periods of
drought followed by excessive rain and floods that have afflicted the Central
American region impede the efforts being made by Nicaragua to overcome the
consequences of war within the framework of a democracy and under the
macroeconomic conditions already achieved,
Deeply concerned also at the serious effects of the volcanic eruption of
Cerro Negro in Nicaragua, which has created a social and ecological emergency
