HELSINKI CITIZEN'S APPEAL FOR SARAJEVO

EDM number 2316 in 1992-93, proposed by Harry Barnes on 14/07/1993.

That this House fully endorses the Helsinki Citizens' Assembly's last chance appeal from Sarajevo which argues that Sarajevo, one of the last multi-ethnic and multi-cultural communities in Bosnia-Herzegovina, is almost at an end and that warmongers are on the verge of winning with the acceptance of the international community, whose lack of adequate action has ensured the success of aggression; agrees with the need for an EC or UN-sponsored transitional authority in Sarajevo, involving complete demilitarisation and then disarmament of Bosnia-Herzegovina under outside supervision, as well as stringent controls on all border transit posts to prevent the entry of military equipment; accepts that such a transitional authority could last up to 10 years; and believes that such an international civil authority would undermine the hold of the nationalist warlords in favour of those forces which have so far been marginalised but who favour pluralist, non-sectarian and democratic arrangements in the former Yugoslavia.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
