SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Bosnia and Herzegovina Self-Defense 
Act of 1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) For the reasons stated in the conference report on the 
        Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995 
        (H.R. 2333), the Congress has found that continued application 
        of an international arms embargo to the Government of Bosnia 
        and Herzegovina contravenes that Government's inherent right of 
        individual or collective self-defense under Article 51 of the 
        United Nations Charter and therefore is inconsistent with 
        international law.
            (2) Before deploying United States Armed Forces to defend 
        the territorial integrity and political independence of Bosnia 
        and Herzegovina, or to enforce United Nations mandates in 
        Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United States should seek to 
        provide the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the means 
        necessary to exercise its inherent right of self-defense.

SEC. 3. TERMINATION OF ARMS EMBARGO.

    (a) Termination.--The President shall terminate the United States 
arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina upon receipt 
from that Government of a request for assistance in exercising its 
right of self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
    (b) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``United States 
arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina'' means the 
application to the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina of--
            (1) the policy adopted July 10, 1991, and published in the 
        Federal Register of July 19, 1991 (58 F.R. 33322) under the 
        heading ``Suspension of Munitions Export Licenses to 
        Yugoslavia''; and
            (2) any similar policy being applied by the United States 
        Government as of the date of receipt of the request described 
        in subsection (a) pursuant to which approval is denied for 
        transfers of defense articles and defense services to the 
        former Yugoslavia.

SEC. 4. PROVISION OF UNITED STATES MILITARY ASSISTANCE.

        year 1995.
