continuing aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a State Member of our Organization. The most fundamental principles on which the Charter is based are challenged: collective security, the non-use of force against territorial integrity and political independence, inviolability of borders, the rule of law, democracy, fundamental freedoms and human rights especially minority rights. In this regard, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a test case. If today aggression and "ethnic cleansing" are permitted there, tomorrow they may work in Sandzak, Kosovo, Vojvodina and Macedonia, and even in other parts of the world. The consequences would be unimaginable. Certainly, the international community has reacted to this aggression, to the atrocities and to the needs of the victims. Both the CSCE and the Security Council have clearly stated in various declarations and resolutions the responsibility of the Serbian Government for these acts and have demanded that they be brought to an immediate end. Cease-fires have been brokered, crucial humanitarian assistance has been organized, sanctions have been imposed and a political framework for a resolution of the conflict has been created.
