TRIAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT MILOSEVIC

Early day motion 848, tabled 12 February 2002 by Ernie Ross (Labour). Signed by 43 members.

That this House welcomes the start of the trial of former President Milosevic for crimes committed in the former Yugoslav Republic; notes that other indictees such as Karadjic and Mladic are still at large; and urges the relevant authorities to take immediate steps to detain them and bring them to justice; deplores the opposition to the setting up of the International Criminal Court by the Conservatives; and recalls the approach taken to ethnic cleansing in Bosnia in the 1990s by the previous Conservative Government.
