A joint resolution to support a ceasefire in the Iran-Iraq war and a negotiated solution to the conflict.

Summary

Declares that the Congress finds the continuation of the Iran-Iraq war: (1) would produce unacceptable levels of death and destruction; and (2) could result in an Iranian breakthrough which could threaten the stability of the entire region and would not be in the U.S. interest. Declares U.S. policy to support: (1) a cease-fire and a negotiated solution to the Iran-Iraq conflict, including a withdrawal to the internationally recognized border; and (2) the establishment of an international tribunal to investigate the origins of the conflict. Expresses the sense of the Congress that if Iran or Iraq rejects peace negotiations and an internationally sanctioned cease-fire, including withdrawal to the internationally recognized border, the United States should support internationally approved measures against that country, and maintain existing trade limitations.
