ICRC CALLS ON ALL SIDES IN BOSNIA TO RESPECT GENEVA CONVENTION

GENEVA, May 26 (Hina) - International Committee of the Red Cross was deeply shocked at the latest events in Bosnia-Herzegovina when several dozen civilians were wounded or killed, a statement from the ICRC said today. Tuzla was bombed, a hospital near Doboj was bombed, heavy fighting was going on in the 'corridor' near Brcko, in the southern part of the Bihac pocket and in Gorazde and Srebrenica. All this endangered lives of thousands of civilians, the ICRC said. The ICRC called on all warring sides to respect the Geneva Convention. It stressed the need to spare civilians, means needed for their survival, lives of war prisoners and to enable ICRC officials to move freely on the ground. (hina) rm 262137 MET may 95
