Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 23 October 1995
on assistance for the reconstruction and development of El Salvador 9/ and
of 6 October 1995 on the Mission of the United Nations in El Salvador, 10/
Noting with satisfaction the renewed expression by the Government of
El Salvador and all the political forces involved in the peace process of
their political will to implement the remaining commitments under the
Chapultepec Agreement, 11/ and the efforts to develop programmes and
projects of social benefit aimed at the maintenance and consolidation of
peace, democratization and sustainable development,
Noting that, in spite of national efforts and the support given by the
international community to the implementation of the priority programmes in
fulfilment of the Peace Agreement, including the strengthening of democratic
institutions, the national reconstruction plan and the economic and social
development plan, the implementation of certain programmes and projects basic
to the process has continued to be affected by, inter alia, the limited
availability and the reduction of financial resources in support of the
consolidation of peace,
Recognizing that El Salvador is at a complex stage in the process of
consolidating peace, which calls not only for the implementation of the
remaining commitments under the Peace Agreement but also for a new approach
involving the implementation and consolidation of medium-term and long-term
national development programmes and strategies aimed at resolving the
structural problems that are the cause of tension and social instability, and
emphasizing the importance and necessity of international technical and
financial assistance, both bilateral and multilateral, for the development of
those programmes in support of national efforts to achieve the objective of a
firm and lasting peace,
Taking into account the need to ensure the continuity of the process of
democratization and national reconciliation, to complete national
reconstruction and to promote sustainable development, as well as the need to
strengthen the national machinery which will monitor the consolidation of the
peace process before the completion of the mandate of the Mission of the
United Nations in El Salvador,
1.
Again expresses its appreciation to the Secretary-General and his
representatives for their effective and timely participation, to the Group of
Friends of the Secretary-General, Colombia, Mexico, Spain and Venezuela, and
to the United States of America and other interested States for their
contribution to the consolidation of the peace process, democratization and
the promotion of economic and social development in El Salvador;
2.
Again expresses its gratitude to the international community,
especially the cooperating community, to the specialized agencies of the
United Nations system and to international development and financing
