FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUGUST 4, 1992



          Statement by Sen. Al Gore on Bosnia Camps


     Reports of atrocities in the Bosnian war have become a daily

fare of increasingly more disturbing proportions.  Word that

Serbian forces are operating secret detention camps where

helpless and innocent people are kept under barbaric conditions, and where

they are subjected to torture and death at the whim of their

captors, must deepen our anger, our disgust, and our resolve to

take action to strop what is taking place.


     The full attention and authority of the world community must

be brought to bear.  Our government should take the lead to call

for a special session of the UN Security Council.  We should

propose that the Council issue an immediate demand that

international observers gain access to any place where prisoners

are held, that civilians be released to UN custody, and that any

military prisoners must be held under condition s defined by

international law.  That demand should be backed by a readiness

to take collective action, including the use of force.  The United

States should make clear that it is prepared to lend appropriate

support to any such action.  These atrocities are crimes under

international law, and steps should be taken at once to document

them, and to identify those who must ultimately be brought to

justice.


     What is happening in Bosnia to innocent people who are being

brutalized transcends our political differences here at home.

Governor Clinton and I will support urgent and appropriate action

by the Administration.
