President. I rise in support of the DoleLieberman substitute amendment to S. 21. the Bosnia and Herzegovina SelfDefense Act of The events of the last week in Bosnia are appalling. Not only does the tragedy continue. but the latest attack on socalled safe areas has resulted in a new level of violence aimed at civilians. a new wave of ethnic cleansing and the creation of a whole new refugee population. The position of the United Nations in Bosnia is increasingly untenable: its role in delivering humanitarian aid is marginal. its role in protecting "safe areas" is dominated by spectacular and deadly failures. The fact that the United Nations chief role in Bosnia increasingly is offering hostage targets to the Bosnian Serbs would be laughable if it were not so sad.
