UN COMMISSION ADOPTS RESOLUTION ON MISSING PERSONS

GENEVA, March 3 (Hina) - The UN Human Rights Commmission today adopted a Resolution on special procedures for looking for missing persons in former Yugoslavia. The Resolution was drafted by the Croatian delegation in cooperation with Bosnian representatives, and was sponsored by 38 countries. The Resolution supports the first report by Professor Manfred Nowak, who is in charge of missing persons in former Yugoslavia, and expresses gratitude to Croatian and Bosnian Governments for their open and successful cooperation with the UN officials. The Resolution calls on the government of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) to cooperate and give access to relevant documentation. Yugoslavia has so far obstructed Nowak's mission.
