Further exacerbating this manmade crisis is the fact that winter is fast approaching. placing at peril the health and well being of tens of thousands of displaced persons who have managed to survive Milosevics cruelties. After watching this recent string of atrocities. the international community was compelled to respond. On September 23. the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution condemning the excessive use of force by Milosevics thugs and demanding that he cease military actions against civilians. withdraw his security units. facilitate the safe return of refugees and displaced persons to their homes. permit unimpeded access of humanitarian organizations to the people of Kosovo. and engage in meaningful negotiations on Kosovos final status. Diplomacy has been and should continue to be a major component of our response to this situation. But we must also acknowledge reality.
