Concerning the crisis in the former Yugoslavia.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) the United States should be on the side of the victims, of democracy, and of independence and freedom with respect to the crisis in the former Yugoslavia; (2) the most constructive role that United Nations (UN) forces can play is on the border of Serbia and Bosnia-Hercegovina; (3) funding for radio broadcasting to Serbia and Montenegro should be authorized for Radio Free Europe through the Board for International Broadcasting; (4) until human rights are completely respected, the current Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should not regain its seat at the UN and Yugoslavia's preferential trade status with the United States should be withdrawn; (5) a war crimes forum should be convened in conjunction with the UN Human Rights Commission and Helsinki Watch and a central office for collecting information on human rights abuses, initiating cases, and pressing charges with respect to the crisis should be established and supported; (6) the actions by Serbia to purposely mislead the United States and the UN by hiding its heavy military weapons from UN inspection teams and by using such weapons against a civilian population should be considered a specific war crime and should be stopped immediately; and (7) the United States should immediately close its embassy in Belgrade and break all diplomatic ties with Serbia and Montenegro, the current Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
