Summary
Expresses the Senate's concern over the conflict and humanitarian tragedy in Chechnya and desire for a peaceful resolution and durable settlement to the conflict. Calls for the Government of the Russian Federation to: (1) cease its military operations in Chechnya and initiate negotiations toward a just peace with the leadership of the Chechen Government; (2) allow into and around Chechnya international missions to monitor and report on the situation there and to investigate alleged atrocities and war crimes; (3) allow international humanitarian agencies immediate full and unimpeded access to Chechen civilians; and (4) investigate fully the atrocities committed in Chechnya.
