Extension of the mandate of all the peace-keeping forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Doc. 7561
20 May 1996
MOTION FOR A RECOMMENDATION
presented by Mr SEITLINGER and others
This motion has not been discussed in the Assembly and commits only the members who have signed it
The Assembly,
Considers that a premature retreat by IFOR from Bosnia and Herzegovina would seriously jeopardise the implementation of the Dayton Agreements and, consequently, the chances for peace and stability in the country;
Moreover, only the maintaining of IFOR troops would guarantee the return of refugees and displaced persons and the reconstruction of the country;
For these reasons the Assembly firmly requests that the mandate of all the United Nations peace-keeping forces be extended and recommends that the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers takes action to this end.
