text: countries, some of them members of the Council, and removing from them diplomatic personnel and persons not enjoying diplomatic status. In the residence of the French Ambassador, the Iraqi army apprehended four French nationals present there , namely the Military Attache and three persons not enjoying diplomatic status. If our Military Attach6 has since been released, the three other French nationals have joined the numerous foreigners held hostage in Iraq and Kuwait. The French Government has at tbe national level already taken a number of steps. We believe that this is a new intolerable act of aggression on the part of Iraq, which, through certain members of the international community, is aimed at the international community as a whole. This compounds the initial aggression by Iraq against Kuwait and the second aggression constituted by the taking hostage of several thousand people of various nationalities. The purpose of these latest RW3 WPV.2940 7 (Mr,) actions is clear. By attacking diplomatic and consular missions in Kuwait, Iraq is seeking the disappearance of that State. As it did after the two previous instances of aggression, our Council must act vigorously and swiftly, by firmly condemning the inadmissible violations that have just been committed aad by demanding that Iraq immediately release not only the persons just kidnapped but all foreign nationals that have been taken hostage. We must ensure the success of the strategy chosen by the international community, namely the embargo. It is therefore necessary to recall that the embargo must be strictly respected and that its implementation to that end must be monitored with vigilance. Finally we must send Iraq a clear warning that in view of its persistent refusal to comply with Security Council resolutions the international community is determined to adopt other measures.
