Concerning the plight of refugees and displaced persons in the former Yugoslav republic.

Summary

Urges the President to assist the United Nations (UN) in intensifying measures to address the plight of refugees and displaced persons from the former Yugoslav republics, especially Bosnia-Herzegovina, including: (1) the expansion of existing efforts by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in the former Yugoslav republics to expedite assistance to refugees and displaced persons for the duration of the crisis; (2) immediate provision of emergency shelter, foodstuffs, sanitation facilities, and medical care to refugees and displaced persons from Bosnia-Herzegovina; (3) expansion of the registration process for all refugees and displaced persons in order to determine the magnitude and nature of refugee flows, with reliance on the assistance of appropriate agencies of the Federal Government as necessary; (4) a general accounting of persons missing, captured, injured, or killed in hostilities, in coordination with concerned governments, the International Committee on Red Cross, and other groups which may have relevant information; and (5) a determination of the places of origin of each refugee and displaced person, and inventories of abandoned property, to assist in the eventual process of repatriation and compensation. Urges the President to seek international agreement on: (1) reaffirming the right of all refugees to return to their former residences and to receive appropriate compensation; (2) to the extent consistent with international law, authorizing the use of seized assets of the former Yugoslav Government to assist the international relief effort; and (3) declaring null and void any documents signed under duress which transfer property of members of one ethnic group to members or organizations of another ethnic group.
