ABSTRACT: The parliamentarians of the Lista Pannella - first signatory Emma Bonino - propose to bind the Italian government to immediately recognize the Republic of Macedonia, to urge the transfer into that Republic of U.N. military forces to prevent any aggressions, to request of the 12 Member States of the EEC and the United Nations Security Council the full application of the military embargo - including on land - against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), to support the creation, at the U.N. level, of the "International Court against crimes", as laid down by the Convention on genocide.

THE CHAMBER

granted that

- as of 8 November 1991, the EEC has imposed economic sanctions against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and asked the United Nations Security Council to declare an oil embargo against the same Republic;

- that on 10 November the United States has endorsed the imposition of economic sanctions;

- that on 27 November the Security Council decides to send 10,000 soldiers on a peacekeeping mission;

- that on 20 December, Bosnia Herzegovina requests to be recognized as an independent state;

- that on 24 December Bosnia itself asks the United Nations to send peacekeeping forces;

- that Bosnia itself has been recognized as an independent state (April 1992);

- that on 6 October 1992, the United Nations Security Council has decided the no-fly zone;

- that the maritime monitoring of the economic-commercial block decreed until 8 November 1991 has been entrusted to the forces of the WEU - which Italy is president of - and of the NATO;

- that violations of the embargo by sea on the part of merchant ships flying the Italian and Greek flags have been ascertained and notified to the Security Council;

- that throughout 1992, Bosnia - an independent state recognized by the international community - has been attacked and occupied by the Serbian militia, which have carried out and carry out increasingly mass exterminations and authentic actions of "ethnic cleansing";

- that such action of aggression on the part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) is made easier by the constant supply of weapons and oil to the regime of Belgrade on the part of countries that systematically violate the embargo by sea, land or through the Danube;

- that on 16 November 1992, the Security Council has decided to toughen the measures for the control of the maritime and fluvial control, in fulfilment of the embargo;

- that while the embargo against the Serbian regime is constantly violated, a unilateral - while never declared - embargo is under way on the part of Greece against Macedonia (75,000 tons of Arab crude oil, regularly purchased, are unduly blocked in the port of Thessaloniki);

- that as of 8 September 1991, Macedonia has declared with a referendum and with a vast majority its independence from Yugoslavia;

- that Macedonia has been complying with all the requirements of the Badinter Commission as far as the respect of the minorities is concerned for about a year;

- that Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Russia, Lithuania and Philippines have to date recognized the Republic of Macedonia;

binds the government:

- to immediately recognize the Republic of Macedonia, in the same way as Denmark autonomously recognized the 3 Baltic Republics;

- to request the transfer into that Republic of U.N. military forces to prevent possible aggressions;

- to request the 12 Member States of the EEC and the United Nations Security Council to fully apply the military embargo - including by land - against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) as the only means to obtain a real and lasting cease-fire enabling the dispatch of humanitarian aid and the return of the refugees to their homes;

- to endorse the United Nations Security Council's decision of 6 October, requesting the immediate creation of a Commission for the ascertainment of war crimes and the violation of the Convention of Geneva on the part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro);

- to endorse, at the U.N. level, the creation of the "International court against crimes", as laid down by the Convention on genocide and as requested by several resolutions of the Assembly of the United Nations.
