Thanks to her determination. the United States was able to hold the line on U.N. sanctions against Libya and Iraq and to gain the Security Councils approval for the United Statesled multinational effort to restore democracy in Haiti. an effort. I might comment. met with significant resistance in this country. that represented both a gutsy. courageous decision and one which has made an enormous difference. ultimately. for the people of Haiti and. I think. also. one might say. to our country because of what we accomplished and also because of the practical things that we avoided with respect to the forced immigration and difficulties we were facing with refugees coming to Florida. In addition to that. her very strong personal advocacy led to the establishment of the War Crimes Tribunal for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia and for the fulfillment. really. of Eleanor Roosevelts proposal for the establishment of a new position. the High Commissioner for Human Rights. In the very difficult area of U.N. reform and management. which is an area Senator GREGG referred to. and other Senators have expressed a great deal of concern about. particularly those of us on the Foreign Relations Committee.
