UNITED NATIONS (AP) The Security Council met in an unprecedented colloquium of world leaders and hailed the Cold War’s end. But the tightly scripted affair did not escape criticism that the old order still reigned. Economically powerful Japan on

Friday repeated its suggestion that it deserves a fixed seat on the 15member council, joining the permanent five of Britain, France, the United States, Russia and China all nuclear powers and World War II victors. And Venezuela criticized the quintet’s veto power over resolutions. JAPANESE officials also said Japan should have a say in future U.N. peacekeeping plans, or it couldn’t guarantee it would keep up with donations to the cash-strapped world body. At the end of the one-day summit, the leaders passed a declaration stressing the need to maintain collective security, arms control and “preventive diplomacy” that could head off future conflicts. But the declaration was nonbinding, and whether the summit succeeds in making the world a safer place depends on the council’s will to pursue those goals. THE ONLY followup measure established by the Security Council calls for Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to issue a report July 1 on his recommendations for making the United Nations more effective and for improving U.N. peacekeeping, which could include creation of a standing U.N. army. The meeting marked the first time that heads of state gathered to represent their countries in a Security Council meeting, and the event showed how much die world

has changed in the United Nations’ 46 years. In a final symbolic burial of the Soviet Union, Russian President Boris Yeltsin claimed the defunct superpower’s seat. He suggested creating a common global nuclear defense using U.S. “Star Wars” technology and Russian expertise and proposed reductions in multi-ple-warhead missiles, considered the world’s most threatening nuclear weapons. PRESIDENT Bush, who has also proposed nuclear arms cuts, hailed the diminished nuclear threat between the superpowers but said the world is still threatened by proliferation of nuclear weapons to Third World nations. “The threat of global nuclear

Yeltsin’s main points UNITED NATIONS (AP) Here are some key points made Friday by Russian President Boris Yeltsin in a speech to the U.N. Security Council and separately. • Proposed a global defense system incorporating the American Strategic Defense Initiative, or “Star Wars,” and Russia’s defense technology. • Said now that Russia and the West are allies, there are real opportunities for deep cuts in the world’s arsenals of nuclear and conventional weapons, including chemical and biological stockpiles. • Said he would agree to cut back on multiple-warhead missiles, an apparent response to arms control offers made by President Bush in his State of the Union speech. • Said the last 10 political prisoners in Russia were freed recently, leaving no more prisoners of conscience in the country. • Backed a French proposal for a quick-response U.N. force.

war is more distant now than at any time in the nuclear era ... but the specter of mass destruction remains all too real,” Bush told the leaders gathered around a huge circular table in the council’s chamber. Above the leaders was a mural depicting the phoenix of peace rising from the ashes of World War 11. “Our presence today is a turning point for the world and the United Nations,” said Prime Minister John Major of Britain, whose nation holds the rotating council presidency and who called the meeting. “ARE WE TO mourn for the old order?” asked French President Francois Milterand. “Certainly not. Liberty has grown in the world. We must continue to help it.” Mitterrand said France was ready to assign 1,000 soldiers to a U.N. rapid-deployment force that could be sent to trouble spots within 48 hours. The plan was supported by Yeltsin and several other leaders. The summit declaration also cited commitments to democracy and human rights a provision opposed by China and some other non-aligned nations. The summit underscored the high profile the United Nations,has assumed after years of being considered ineffective. “GONE ARE THE days, I hope forever, when the United Nations was the last body you would tum to for effective action,” Major told reporters after the summit. After its pivotal role in the Persian Gulf War, the United Nations has had a string of diplomatic successes.

Germans uncover Warsaw Pact war plan

BONN, Germany (AP) Documents of former East Germany show that the Warsaw Pact had developed a blitzkrieg strategy to overrun most of Western Europe in 35 days with the help of tactical nuclear arms, the German government said. The Bonn government discovered the strategy while examining 25,000 once-top secret documents that had belonged to the East German military, Gerhard Stoltenberg, Germany’s defense minister, said Friday. STOLTENBERG said the documents show “the armed forces of the former East bloc were organized such that there was an option for an invasion war.” The strategy envisioned an attack against NATO forces on several fronts, with units rolling across Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France within 35 days, Stoltenberg said. Stoltenberg said that in one maneuver recorded by the documents, Warsaw Pact troops pretended to use 76 atomic weapons against SchleswigHolstein, a state in northern Germany. AFTER SOVIET leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s rise to power in 1985, the Pact’s battle strategy incorporated defensive elements but the invasion concept was kept, Stoltenberg said. Stoltenberg also gave a breakdown of the huge, mostly Soviet-made arsenal united Germany inherited from the East German military. The weapons include: 1,583

Bush raps China for human rights record

UNITED NATIONS (AP) President Bush is giving China a public rap on the knuckles for its human rights record while dangling a carrot to lure the Chinese into limiting their exports of nuclear technology. That is the upshot of Bush’s 20minute meeting here Friday with Chinese Premier Li Feng as the two world leaders attended a U.N. Security Council summit designed to advance democracy around the world. LI, WHO ordered a crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations in Beijing in June 1989, is one of the last hard-line leaders on the international scene. The State Department, in an annual report on human rights published Friday, accused China of a wide array of abuses, including torture, religious repression and mistreatment of suspected criminals. Secretary of State James A. Baker 111, authorized by Bush to give reporters a critical account of the president’s meeting with Li,

MIKHAIL GORBACHEV Added defensive plan

T-55 tanks, 549 T-72 tanks, 251 MiG-21 and 24 MiG-29 fighter jets, more than 5,000 armored personnel carriers, nearly 2,000 STRELA 2 anti-aircraft rockets, some 1.1 million light weapons and 49 Mi-24 helicopter gunships. Stoltenberg said Germany plans on keeping only about 17 percent of the arms, including the MiG-295, considered one of the world’s best fighter jets. More than 1 million of the arms, including the tanks, the other jets, and light weapons, will be scrapped, Stoltenberg said. Stoltenberg said Germany hopes to sell some of the remaining arms to other countries. He named neither the weapons nor the countries.

described it as “very serious, very businesslike, direct” BUSH TOLD LI that “the record of the Chinese government on human rights was insufficient’* and that “we would like to see significant improvement,” according to Baker. - Li, in his speech to the Security Council, said China would not be judged by other nations’ standards and that “in essence the issue of human rights is within the sovereignty of the country.” “That is not acceptable under our standards,” Baker told reporters. AFTER THE knuckle-rapping, Bush tried to lure the Chinese into agreeing to limit its nuclear technology exports Syria is a potential customer with an offer of perhaps allowing them to buy U.S. satellites and computers if they do. Bush told Li he supports China’s and Taiwan’s membership in the world agreement on tariffs and trade (GATT). And he said sanctions barring U.S. sales of computers and satellite parts to China would be lifted if China adheres to treaties designed to stop the spread of nuclear technology, according to Baker. The administration has been trying to block China from selling missiles to Syria. When Bush and Li posed for pictures in a U.N. conference room there was a definite chill in the air. Bush was unsmiling and avoided eye contact with Li while sitting across the table from him. Li wore a tight smile and scanned the room as photographers and reporters filled it.
