Taking note with appreciation also the efforts of the ASEAN countries
and other countries involved in promoting the search for a comprehensive
political settlement,

France as Co-Chairmen of the PICC and of all participants in this Conference
to facilitate the restoration of peace to Cambodia,

exercise their inalienable right to self-determination through free and fair
elections organized and conducted by the United Nations in a neutral political
environment with full respect for the national sovereignty of Cambodia,
