REHN SPEAKS ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN BOSNIA

STRASBOURG, April 25 (Hina) - UN special rapporteur for human rights, Elisabeth Rehn, on Thursday expressed satisfaction with the fact that heavy violations of human rights in Bosnia-Herzegovina have ceased, but stressed that existent difficulties still exist. #L# Speaking at the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly as part of the discussion on the implementation of the Dayton peace accords, Rehn stressed the problem of freedom of expression, the freedom of movement and the problem of cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. All sides must cooperate with the International Tribunal in order to substitute collective culpability with individual, Rehn said. "I will never accept the fact that all Serbs are guilty for Srebrenica, nor that all Croats are guilty for something else," Rehn said. She added that the issue of missing persons had to be resolved and expressed concern with the much too slow return of refugees and displaced persons. (hina) lm jn 251455 MET apr 96
