For months we have read chilling accounts from the former Yugoslav Republics. Now. beginning with a Newsday report entitled "Death Camps." we are getting a look at life in Serbian detention centers. The goal. "Greater Serbia." The obscene mechanism. "ethnic cleansing." Forces directed by Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic are literally herding tens of thousands of Croatian and Muslim refugees into camps where some are reportedly beaten. others starved. tortured and killed. A U.N. representative has concluded that creating a refugee crisis is a deliberate Serbian policy. If not genocide. then at least horrible echoes of the death camps. the sealed boxcars. the search for a "final solution." Mr. President. no outside observers have been permitted visits to verify these accounts. which is. in itself. a violation of international norms.
