 Relating to the prosecution of Saddam Hussein and responsible members 
                of the Iraqi Government for war crimes.

    The House finds that--
            (1) as ordered by Saddam Hussein, Iraq engaged in 
        unprovoked aggression in its conquest and occupation of Kuwait;
            (2) the Iraqi occupation force has treated Kuwaiti citizens 
        barbarously;
            (3) Saddam Hussein used American and European civilians as 
        ``human shields'' in an attempt to protect strategic facilities 
        throughout Iraq and has now directed that captured American and 
        Allied prisoners of war be used for the same purpose;
            (4) Saddam Hussein ordered his military to launch missile 
        attacks against innocent civilians in Israel and Saudi Arabia; 
        and
            (5) Former President Bush and President Clinton have 
        rightly warned Saddam Hussein and Iraqi Government officials 
        that they would be held responsible for any abuses they have 
        caused: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives to 
urge the President to request the United Nations to establish a 
tribunal to charge Saddam Hussein and other responsible Iraqi 
Government officials for war crimes, acts of aggression, and crimes 
against humanity they have committed.
