                               RESOLUTION


 
 Relating to the transfer of Slobodan Milosevic, and other alleged war 
 criminals, to the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia, and 
                          for other purposes.

Whereas on June 28, 2001, Slobodan Milosevic was transferred to the 
        International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia to face charges of crimes 
        against humanity;
Whereas the transfer of Slobodan Milosevic and other indicted war criminals is a 
        triumph of international justice and the rule of law in Serbia;
Whereas corruption and warfare under the Milosevic regime caused Yugoslavia 
        extensive economic damage, including millions in lost output and a 
        foreign debt that exceeds $12,200,000,000;
Whereas other alleged perpetrators of war crimes and other crimes against 
        humanity remain at large throughout the Balkans region; and
Whereas democrats and reformers in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia deserve 
        the support and encouragement of the United States: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the courage of Serbian democrats, in 
        particular, Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic, in 
        facilitating the transfer of Slobodan Milosevic to the 
        International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia;
            (2) calls for the continued arrest and transfer of other 
        indicted war criminals throughout the Balkans to the 
        International Criminal Tribunal in the Hague;
            (3) encourages the release of all innocent political 
        prisoners held in Serbian prisons; and
            (4) remains committed to providing foreign assistance to 
        support the success of economic, political, and legal reforms 
        in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and other nations of the 
        Balkans region as long as the Government of the Federal 
        Republic of Yugoslavia and others continues to cooperate in the 
        matter of war criminals.
