                               RESOLUTION


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

Whereas Slobodan Milosevic has been 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 an estimated $29,400,000,000 in 
        lost output and a foreign debt that exceeds $12,200,000,000; 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 (a) the Senate hereby--
            (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; and
            (2) calls for the continued transfer of indicted war 
        criminals to the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia 
        and the release of all political prisoners held in Serbian 
        prisons.
    (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the United States should 
remain committed to providing foreign assistance to support the success 
of economic, political, and legal reforms in the Federal Republic of 
Yugoslavia.
