UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO CONSIDER SITUATION IN BOSNIA ON THURSDAY

NEW YORK, Nov 1 (Hina) - UN General Assembly is expected on Thursday to discuss the situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and its members will be delivered a draft resolution on establishing the sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Croatia, as a co-sponsor of the resolution, will participate along with other 40 members in the discussion. The draft resolution spells out that Serb-conquered areas of Bosnia are the integral part of B-H, in line with UN Charter. Therefore, the occupied areas must be reintegrated. The draft resolution also supports a peace plan of the five- power Contact Group for Bosnia, and demands from Bosnian Serbs to accept it unconditionally. It also welcomes efforts of the Bosniac (Moslem) and Croatian sides in the implementation of the Washington Accords. It calls on the UN member states to extend cooperation with Bosnia-Herzegovina in fulfilling its right on defence according to UN Charter Chapter 7. The UN Security Council is called on to consider lifting an arms embargo against B-H. The draft resolution condemns Bosnian Serbs for their military operations against the territory of the Republic of Croatia while cooperating with Serb paramilitaries, situated in the occupied areas of Croatia.
