F. United Nations General Assembly Resolution 47/121
A/RES/47/121
91st plenary meeting
18 December 1992
The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The General Assembly,
Having considered the item entitled "The situation in Bosnia and
Herzegovina",
Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General,
Reaffirming its resolution 46/242 of 25 August 1992,
Recalling all the resolutions adopted by the Security Council
regarding the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and other parts of the
former Yugoslavia,
Appreciating all the ongoing international efforts to restore peace
in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly those efforts
being pursued by the United Nations, the European Community, the
International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia, the Conference on
Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Organization of the Islamic
Conference,
Commending the untiring efforts and bravery of the United Nations
Protection Force in securing relief operations in the Republic of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, as well as the efforts of the Office of the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other relief and humanitarian
agencies, and expressing its condemnation of the recent attacks on the
United Nations Protection Force in Sarajevo by Serbian forces resulting
in loss of life and injuries to some of its personnel,
Taking note of the report of the Special Rapporteur of the
Commission on Human Rights on the situation of human rights in the
territory of the former Yugoslavia dated 6 November 1992, in which he
stated, inter alia,
that "ethnic cleansing" did not appear to be the
consequence of the war, but rather its goal,
Taking note also of the report of the Special Rapporteur dated 17
November 1992, in which he stated, inter alia,
that another factor which
had contributed to the intensity of "ethnic cleansing" in areas under
Serbian control was the marked imbalance between the weaponry in the
hands of the Serbian and the Muslim population of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Gravely concerned about the deterioration of the situation in the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina owing to intensified
aggressive acts
by the Serbian and Montenegrin forces to acquire more territories by
force,
characterized by a consistent pattern of gross and systematic
violations of human rights, a burgeoning refugee population resulting
from mass expulsions of defenceless civilians from their homes and the
existence in Serbian and Montenegrin controlled areas of concentration
camps and detention centres, in pursuit of the abhorrent policy of
"ethnic cleansing", which is a form of genocide,
Strongly condemning Serbia and Montenegro and their surrogates in
the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina for their continued non-compliance
with all relevant United Nations resolutions,
Deeply regretting that the sanctions imposed by the Security Council
have not had the desired effect of halting the
aggressive acts by Serbian
and Montenegrin irregular forces and the direct and indirect support of
the Yugoslav People's Army for the aggressive acts in the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Recalling that the Government of the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina has accepted the constitutional principles proposed by the
Co-Chairmen of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia,
Convinced that the situation in the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina warrants the implementation of decisive actions under Chapter
VII of the Charter of the United Nations to oblige Serbia and Montenegro
and their surrogates in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to comply
with the relevant Security Council resolutions,
Reaffirming the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition
of territory by force and the right of all Bosnian refugees to return to
their homes in conditions of safety and honour,
Reaffirming also that the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina has the
inherent right to individual or collective self-defence in accordance
with Chapter VII, Article 51, of the Charter, until the Security Council
has taken the measures necessary to maintain international peace and
security,
Determined to restore peace in the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina as well as to preserve its unity, sovereignty, political
independence and territorial integrity,
1. Reaffirms its support for the Government and people of the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in their just struggle to safeguard
their sovereignty, political independence, territorial integrity and unity;
2.
Strongly condemns Serbia, Montenegro and Serbian forces in the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina for violation of the sovereignty,
territorial integrity and political independence of the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, and their non-compliance with existing
resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly, as well as
the London Peace Accords of August 1992;
3.
Demands that Serbia and Montenegro and Serbian forces in the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina immediately cease their aggressive
acts and hostility and comply fully and unconditionally with the relevant
resolutions of the Security Council, in particular resolutions 752 (1992)
of 15 May 1992, 757(1992) of 30 May 1992, 770 (1992) and 771 (1992) of 13
August 1992, 781 (1992) of 9 October 1992 and 787 (1992) of 16 November
1992, General Assembly resolution 46/242 and the London Peace Accords of
August 1992;
4.
Demands that, in accordance with Security Council resolution
752 (1992), all elements of the Yugoslav People's Army still in the
territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be withdrawn
immediately, or be subject to the authority of the Government of the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, or be disbanded and disarmed with
their weapons placed under effective United Nations control;
5. Demands also that, in accordance with Security Council
resolution 752 (1992), all elements of the
Croatian Army that may be in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that are already not operating in accord with the authority of the Government of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be withdrawn immediately, or be subject to the authority of that Government, or be disbanded and disarmed with their
weapons placed under effective United Nations control;
6. Supports the consideration by the Security Council of the
immediate enforcement of Council resolution 781 (1992) banning all
military flights over the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina;
7. Urges the Security Council, within its responsibility to
maintain international peace and security, to again call upon the Serbian
and Montenegrin forces to comply with all relevant resolutions and to
bring to an end the aggressive acts against the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, to implement and enforce all existing resolutions with
respect to the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the former
Yugoslavia and, specifically, further to consider measures, including the
following, on an urgent basis, but no later than 15 January 1993:
(a) In the event that Serbian and Montenegrin forces fail to comply
fully with all relevant resolutions of the Security Council, under the
provisions of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, to
authorize Member States, in cooperation with the Government of the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to use all necessary means to uphold
and restore the sovereignty, political independence, territorial
integrity and unity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina;
(b) To exempt the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the arms
embargo as imposed on the former Yugoslavia under Security Council
resolution 713 (1991) of 25 September 1991;
8. Also urges the Security Council to consider taking measures to
open more airports/airfields for international humanitarian relief
flights, to pursue emergency airdrops as a stop-gap measure and to study
the possibility of and the requirements for the promotion of safe areas
for humanitarian purposes;
9. Further urges the Security Council to consider what resources
may be required to improve the implementation of all relevant
resolutions, and calls upon Member States to notify the Secretary-General
regarding the availability of personnel and materiel to assist and
facilitate in this effort;
10. Urges the Security Council to consider recommending the
establishment of an ad hoc international war crimes tribunal to try and
punish those who have committed war crimes in the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina when sufficient information has been provided by the
Commission of Experts established by Council resolution 780 (1992) of 6
October 1992;
11. Requests the Co-Chairmen of the International Conference on the
Former Yugoslavia to conclude expeditiously the work of the Working Group
on the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to report on the reasons for
the lack of progress and to submit proposals to overcome obstacles in the
fulfilment of their mandate by 18 January 1993;
12. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the General
Assembly by 18 January 1993 on the implementation of the present resolution;
13. Decides to remain seized of the matter and to continue the
consideration of this item.
Ovo je dio Povelje UN-a u kojoj se govori o agresiji. Ne bih se upuštao u diskusiju da li se termin agresija može smatrati pravnim terminom ili ne.
