MOTION FOR A RESOLUTION

on the continuing special guest status of Croatia

presented by Mr RATHBONE and others

1.       The Assembly is increasingly concerned about the continuing conflict, the human suffering and the erosion of human rights in former Yugoslavia;

2.       It questions the continuing guest status of the component parts of former Yugoslavia in which international charters and conventions have been broken, especially those bearing on the treatment of detainees, and in which the provision of humanitarian aid is too often no longer being allowed;

3.       It looks forward to the opportunity on 3 November 1993 of questioning the Speaker of the Croatian Parliamentary Assembly on these and other matters bearing upon its guest status;

4.       And it requests that Special Guest Status be withdrawn from Croatia, in accordance with the Rules, unless entirely satisfactory reassurances have been received on that occasion.
