Mr. Speaker. this must be stopped at all costs. but it will require creative diplomacy on the part of the United States. as well as an understanding by the international community. that firm action must be taken to prevent the spread of the war. The United Nations Security Council Resolution 743 of February 1992 authorizes a protection force to demilitarize the protected areas in Croatia and to create conditions making the return of all displaced persons and refugees to their homes in these protected areas possible. The United Nations has failed in accomplishing this mandate. Refugees contine to flee the protected areas. and none have returned. Paramilitary forces in the protected areas have not been disarmed. and weapons and forces are entering the protected areas from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The United Nations forces are permitting the denial of water and electricity to coastal cities such as Zadar and Blograd by occupying forces in the protected areas.
