Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the widespread rape and forced pregnancy of women and girls in the former Yugoslavia constitute war crimes; (2) the United Nations (UN) Security Council and UN Human Rights Commission should adopt resolutions explicitly recognizing that rape and forced pregnancy constitute war crimes; (3) such war crimes should be investigated by an international tribunal; (4) such tribunal may be convened by the UN at the highest level and should be provided with clear authority to investigate, prosecute, adjudicate, and punish those responsible for those and other crimes; (5) the UN should appoint a special rapporteur on sex discrimination and violence against women; and (6) the 1993 UN World Conference on Human Rights in June should consider violations of the human rights of women.
