14 SEC. 211. REPORT CONCERNING THE EFFECT OF PLAN CO15 LOMBIA ON ECUADOR.

16 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

17 findings:

18 (1) There is a growing alarm concerning the

19 spillover effect of Plan Colombia on Ecuador, a

20 frontline state. The northern region of Ecuador, in21 cluding the Sucumbios province, is an area of par22 ticular concern. It faces the Colombian Putumayo

23 zone, where there is no presence of military or law

24 enforcement personnel.
38

HR 1646 RFS

1 (2) Activities relating to the implementation of

2 Plan Colombia have resulted in incursions on Ecua3 dorian territory by drug traffickers and guerrilla and

4 paramilitary groups from Colombia and a concomi5 tant increase in the levels of violence and delin6 quency. Recent kidnappings of American and other

7 foreign nationals, as well as discoveries of clandes8 tine cocaine laboratories, are especially troublesome.

9 (3) Ecuador is receiving an influx of Colombian

10 refugees and its own indigenous communities have

11 been displaced from their ancestral villages.

12 (4) Ecuador has demonstrated its moral and

13 political commitment in the fight against drugs. The

14 agreement signed in November 1999 with the

15 United States to establish a forward operating loca16 tion in Manta is a clear sign of this active stance.

17 (5) Ecuador is implementing a comprehensive

18 program aimed at reinforcing its security mecha19 nisms in the northern border, as well as converting

20 the area into a buffer zone of peace and develop21 ment.

22 (b) REPORT TO CONGRESS.—Not later than 60 days

23 after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary

24 of State, through the Bureau of International Narcotics

25 and Law Enforcement, shall submit to Congress a report

3 SEC. 212. REPORT CONCERNING EFFORTS TO PROMOTE

4 ISRAEL’S DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH

5 OTHER COUNTRIES.

6 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

7 findings:

8 (1) Israel is a friend and ally of the United

9 States whose security is vital to regional stability

10 and United States interests.

11 (2) Israel currently maintains diplomatic rela12 tions with 162 countries. Approximately 25 coun13 tries do not have any diplomatic relations with Israel

14 and another four countries have only limited rela15 tions.

16 (3) The government of Israel has been actively

17 seeking to establish formal relations with a number

18 of countries.

19 (4) The United States should assist its ally,

20 Israel, in its efforts to establish diplomatic relations.

21 (5) After 52 years of existence, Israel deserves

22 to be treated as an equal nation by its neighbors and

23 the world community.

2 Servicemembers’ Protection Act

3 SEC. 631. SHORT TITLE.

4 This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘American

5 Servicemembers’ Protection Act of 2001’’.

6 SEC. 632. FINDINGS.

7 Congress makes the following findings:

8 (1) On July 17, 1998, the United Nations Dip9 lomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Es10 tablishment of an International Criminal Court,

11 meeting in Rome, Italy, adopted the ‘‘Rome Statute

12 of the International Criminal Court.’’ The vote on

13 whether to proceed with the Statute was 120 in

14 favor to 7 against, with 21 countries abstaining. The

15 United States voted against final adoption of the

16 Rome Statute.

17 (2) As of April 30, 2001, 139 countries had

18 signed the Rome Statute and 30 had ratified it. Pur19 suant to Article 126 of the Rome Statute, the Stat20 ute will enter into force on the first day of the

21 month after the 60th day following the date on

22 which the 60th country deposits an instrument rati23 fying the Statute.

24 (3) Since adoption of the Rome Statute, a Pre25 paratory Commission for the International Criminal
100

HR 1646 RFS

1 Court has met regularly to draft documents to im2 plement the Rome Statute, including Rules of Proce3 dure and Evidence, Elements of Crimes, and a defi4 nition of the Crime of Aggression.

5 (4) During testimony before the Congress fol6 lowing the adoption of the Rome Statute, the lead

7 United States negotiator, Ambassador David

8 Scheffer stated that the United States could not

9 sign the Rome Statute because certain critical nego10 tiating objectives of the United States had not been

11 achieved. As a result, he stated: ‘‘We are left with

12 consequences that do not serve the cause of inter13 national justice.’’.

14 (5) Ambassador Scheffer went on to tell the

15 Congress that: ‘‘Multinational peacekeeping forces

16 operating in a country that has joined the treaty can

17 be exposed to the Court’s jurisdiction even if the

18 country of the individual peacekeeper has not joined

19 the treaty. Thus, the treaty purports to establish an

20 arrangement whereby United States armed forces

21 operating overseas could be conceivably prosecuted

22 by the international court even if the United States

23 has not agreed to be bound by the treaty. Not only

24 is this contrary to the most fundamental principles

25 of treaty law, it could inhibit the ability of the
101

HR 1646 RFS

1 United States to use its military to meet alliance ob2 ligations and participate in multinational operations,

3 including humanitarian interventions to save civilian

4 lives. Other contributors to peacekeeping operations

5 will be similarly exposed.’’.

6 (6) Notwithstanding these concerns, President

7 Clinton directed that the United States sign the

8 Rome Statute on December 31, 2000. In a state9 ment issued that day, he stated that in view of the

10 unremedied deficiencies of the Rome Statute, ‘‘I will

11 not, and do not recommend that my successor sub12 mit the Treaty to the Senate for advice and consent

13 until our fundamental concerns are satisfied’’.

14 (7) Any American prosecuted by the Inter15 national Criminal Court will, under the Rome Stat16 ute, be denied procedural protections to which all

17 Americans are entitled under the Bill of Rights to

18 the United States Constitution, such as the right to

19 trial by jury.

20 (8) Members of the Armed Forces of the

21 United States deserve the full protection of the

22 United States Constitution wherever they are sta23 tioned or deployed around the world to protect the

24 vital national interests of the United States. The

25 United States Government has an obligation to pro-
102

HR 1646 RFS

1 tect the members of its Armed Forces, to the max2 imum extent possible, against criminal prosecutions

3 carried out by United Nations officials under proce4 dures that deny them their constitutional rights.

5 (9) In addition to exposing members of the

6 Armed Forces of the United States to the risk of

7 international criminal prosecution, the Rome Statute

8 creates a risk that the President and other senior

9 elected and appointed officials of the United States

10 Government may be prosecuted by the International

11 Criminal Court. Particularly if the Preparatory

12 Commission agrees on a definition of the Crime of

13 Aggression over United States objections, senior

14 United States officials may be at risk of criminal

15 prosecution for national security decisions involving

16 such matters as responding to acts of terrorism, pre17 venting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruc18 tion, and deterring aggression. No less than mem19 bers of the Armed Forces of the United States, sen20 ior officials of the United States Government deserve

21 the full protection of the United States Constitution

22 with respect to official actions taken by them to pro23 tect the national interests of the United States.

2 to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

3 SEC. 733. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONDEMNING THE DE4 STRUCTION OF PRE-ISLAMIC STATUES IN AF5 GHANISTAN BY THE TALIBAN REGIME.

6 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

7 findings:

8 (1) Many of the oldest and most significant

9 Buddhist statues in the world are in Afghanistan,

10 which, at the time that many of the statues were

11 carved, was one of the most cosmopolitan regions in

12 the world and hosted merchants, travelers, and art13 ists from China, India, central Asia, and the Roman

14 Empire.

15 (2) Such statues are part of the common herit16 age of mankind, which must be preserved for future

17 generations.

18 (3) On February 26, 2001, the leader of the

19 Taliban regime, Mullah Mohammad Omar, ordered

20 the destruction of all pre-Islamic statues in Afghani21 stan, among them a pair of 1,600-year-old, 100-foot22 tall statues of Buddha that are carved out of a

23 mountainside.

24 (4) The religion of Islam and Buddhist statues

25 have coexisted in Afghanistan as part of the unique
138

HR 1646 RFS

1 historical and cultural heritage of that nation for

2 more than 1,100 years.

3 (5) The destruction of the pre-Islamic statues

4 contradicts the basic tenet of the Islamic religion

5 that other religions should be tolerated.

6 (6) People of all faiths and nationalities have

7 condemned the destruction of the statues in Afghan8 istan, including Muslim communities around the

9 world.

10 (7) The destruction of the statues violates the

13 which was ratified by Afghanistan on March 20,

14 1979.

15 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress—

17 the world in condemning the destruction of pre-Is18 lamic statues in Afghanistan by the Taliban regime;

19 (2) urges the Taliban regime to stop destroying

20 such statues; and

21 (3) calls upon the Taliban regime to grant

22 international organizations immediate access to Af23 ghanistan to survey the damage and facilitate inter24 national efforts to preserve and safeguard the re25 maining statues.

HR 1646 RFS

1 SEC. 734. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO RESOLUTION

2 OF THE TAIWAN STRAIT ISSUE.

3 It is the sense of the Congress that Taiwan is a ma4 ture democracy that fully respects human rights and it

5 is the policy of the United States that any resolution of

6 the Taiwan Strait issue must be peaceful and include the

7 assent of the people of Taiwan.

8 SEC. 735. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO ARSENIC

9 CONTAMINATION IN DRINKING WATER IN

10 BANGLADESH.

11 (a) FINDINGS.—In the early 1970s, the United Na12 tions Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Bangladeshi

13 Department of Public Health Engineering, in an attempt

14 to bring clean drinking water to the people of Bangladesh,

15 installed tube wells to access shallow aquifers. This was

16 done to provide an alternative to contaminated surface

17 water sources. However, at the time the wells were in18 stalled, arsenic was not recognized as a problem in water

19 supplies and standard water testing procedures did not in20 clude arsenic tests. Naturally occurring inorganic arsenic

21 contamination of water in those tube-wells was confirmed

22 in 1993 in the Nawabganj district in Bangladesh. The

23 health effects of ingesting arsenic-contaminated drinking

24 water appear slowly. This makes preventative measures,

25 including drawing arsenic out of the existing tube well and

26 finding alternate sources of water, critical to preventing
140

HR 1646 RFS

1 future contamination in large numbers of the Bangladeshi

2 population. Health effects of exposure to arsenic in both

3 adults and children include skin lesions, skin cancer, and

4 mortality from internal cancers.

5 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Secretary of State

6 should work with appropriate United States Government

7 agencies, national laboratories, universities in the United

8 States, the Government of Bangladesh, international fi9 nancial institutions and organizations, and international

10 donors to identify a long term solution to the arsenic-con11 taminated drinking water problem.

12 (c) REPORT TO CONGRESS.—The Secretary of State

13 should report to the Congress on proposals to bring about

14 arsenic-free drinking water to Bangladeshis and to facili15 tate treatment for those who have already been affected

16 by arsenic-contaminated drinking water in Bangladesh.

17 SEC. 736. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO DISPLAY OF

18 THE AMERICAN FLAG AT THE AMERICAN IN19 STITUTE IN TAIWAN.

20 It is the sense of the Congress that the chancery of

21 the American Institute in Taiwan and the residence of the

22 director of the American Institute in Taiwan should pub23 licly display the flag of the United States in the same man24 ner as United States embassies, consulates, and official

25 residences throughout the world.

1 SEC. 737. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING HUMAN

2 RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN WEST PAPUA AND

3 ACEH, INCLUDING THE MURDER OF JAFAR

4 SIDDIQ HAMZAH, AND ESCALATING VIO5 LENCE IN MALUKU AND CENTRAL

6 KALIMANTAN.

7 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

8 findings:

9 (1) Human rights violations by elements of the

10 Indonesian Government continue to worsen in West

11 Papua (Irian Jaya) and Aceh, while other areas in12 cluding the Moluccas (Maluku) and Central

13 Kalimantan have experienced outbreaks of violence

14 by militia forces and other organized groups.

15 (2) Seven West Papuans were shot dead by In16 donesian security forces following a flag-raising cere17 mony in the town of Merauke on December 2, 2000,

18 and in a separate incident four others were report19 edly killed by Indonesian security forces after a West

20 Papuan flag was raised in Tiom on December 18,

21 2000.

22 (3) Indonesian police have attacked peaceful

23 West Papuan civilians, including students in their

24 dormitories at Cenderawasih University on Decem25 ber 6, 2000. This attack resulted in the beating and

26 arrests of some 100 students as well as the deaths
142

HR 1646 RFS

1 of three students, including one in police custody in

2 the capital city of Jayapura.

3 (4) To escape Indonesian security forces, hun4 dreds of peaceful West Papuans have sought safety

5 in refugee camps across the border in the neigh6 boring state of Papua New Guinea (PNG).

7 (5) The Indonesian armed forces have an8 nounced that they are initiating ‘‘limited military op9 erations’’ in Aceh, where the Exxon-Mobil gas com10 pany has suspended operations due to security con11 cerns.

12 (6) On September 7, 2000, the body of

13 Acehnese human rights lawyer Jafar Siddiq

14 Hamzah, who had been missing for a month, was

15 identified along with four other badly decomposed

16 bodies, whose faces were bashed in and whose hands

17 and feet were bound with barbed wire, in a forested

18 area outside of Medan, in North Sumatra.

19 (7) Hamzah, a permanent resident of the

20 United States who resided in Queens, New York,

21 was last seen alive on August 5, 2000, in Medan,

22 after which he failed to keep an appointment and his

23 family lost all contact with him.

24 (8) As the founder and director of the Inter25 national Forum on Aceh, which works for peace and
143

HR 1646 RFS

1 human rights in Aceh, Hamzah was an important

2 voice of moderation and an internationally known

3 representative of his people who made irreplaceable

4 contributions to peace and respect for human rights

5 in his homeland.

6 (9) The Indonesian government has failed to re7 lease the results of Jafar Siddiq Hamzah’s autopsy

8 report, and the inaccessibility of the report has de9 layed the investigation which could lead to bringing

10 the murderers to justice.

11 (10) There is supporting documentation from

12 the United States Department of State and other re13 liable sources that Indonesian military and police

14 forces have committed widespread acts of torture,

15 rape, disappearance and extra-judicial executions

16 against West Papuan and Acehnese civilians.

17 (11) In Maluku, where Muslim and Christian

18 peoples lived in peace and respected with each other

19 for decades, thousands have been killed and tens of

20 thousands displaced during outbreaks of violence

21 over the past 3 years.

22 (12) Militia forces known as the Laskar Jihad

23 have arrived from Java and other islands outside

24 Maluku to inflame hatred and perpetrate violence

25 against Christians, and to create religious intoler-
144

HR 1646 RFS

1 ance among the people of Maluku, and the Laskar

2 Jihad has been openly encouraged by some Indo3 nesian leaders including Amien Rais, Chair of the

4 People’s Consultative Assembly.

5 (13) Muslim and Christian leaders alike have

6 called for the arrest of militia leaders in Maluku and

7 asking for international assistance in ending this

8 devastating conflict.

9 (14) The most recent instance of widespread vi10 olence in Indonesia has broken out on the island of

11 Kalimantan (Borneo), in the province of Central

12 Kalimantan, where indigenous Dayaks brutally at13 tacked migrant Madurese, killing hundreds and

14 causing thousands of others to flee.

15 (15) The people of the island of Madura who

16 were resettled in Kalimantan under the auspices of

17 the Soeharto government’s transmigration program,

18 which served to strengthen the political control of

19 the regime, have become scapegoats for official gov20 ernment policy, while the Dayaks have suffered from

21 this policy and from official exploitation of the nat22 ural resources of their homeland.

23 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress—

24 (1) expresses its deep concern over ongoing

25 human rights violations committed by Indonesian
145

HR 1646 RFS

1 military and police forces against civilians in West

2 Papua and Aceh, as well as over violence by militias

3 and others in Maluku, Central Kalimantan, and else4 where in Indonesia;

5 (2) calls upon the United States Department of

6 State to publicly protest the reemergence of political

7 imprisonment in Indonesia and to take necessary

8 steps to release, immediately and unconditionally, all

9 political prisoners, including Rev. Obed Komba, Rev.

10 Yudas Meage, Yafet Yelemaken, Murjono Murib and

11 Amelia Yigibalom of West Papua, and Muhammad

12 Nazar of Aceh, all adopted by Amnesty International

13 as Prisoners of Conscience, and student demonstra14 tors Matius Rumbrapuk, Laon Wenda, Jenderal

15 Achmad Yani, Joseph Wenda and Hans Gobay of

16 West Papua;

17 (3) calls upon the Department of State to sup18 port and encourage the Government of Indonesia to

19 engage in peaceful dialogue with respected West

20 Papuan community leaders and other members of

21 West Papuan civil society, as prescribed by the 1999

22 Terms of Reference for the National Dialogue on

23 Irian Jaya, and to urge the Governor of West Papua

24 to create an environment conducive to the peaceful

25 repatriation of West Papuan refugees and ‘‘illegal
146

2 Guinea;

3 (4) calls upon the United States Government to

4 press the Government of Indonesia to permit access

8 and environmental monitors, including the United

9 Nations special rapporteurs on torture and extra-ju10 dicial execution, as well as by humanitarian non11 governmental organizations;

18 release the autopsy report of Jafar Siddiq Hamzah

19 immediately, to conduct a thorough, open, and

22 offer full access and support to independent inves23 tigators and forensics experts brought in to examine

24 these cases, and to ensure that the perpetrators of
147

HR 1646 RFS

1 these atrocities are brought to justice through open

2 and fair trials;

3 (7) condemns the recent atrocities in Central

4 Kalimantan the failure of Indonesian police and

5 other security forces to intervene to stop these atroc6 ities, as well as the underlying social and economic

7 conditions caused by systematic transmigration pro8 grams, imported labor, and inequitable and destruc9 tive exploitation of local natural resources that have

10 worsened the poverty and discrimination which were

11 contributing factors in their commission;

12 (8) condemns comparable Indonesian Govern13 ment policies in Maluku and the failure of Indo14 nesian police and other security forces in and around

15 Ambon to halt sectarian violence, including the oper16 ations of the Laskar Jihad militia;

17 (9) calls upon the Government of Indonesia to

18 take decisive action to halt sectarian violence in

19 Maluku and to arrest those guilty of violence, includ20 ing Laskar Jihad militia leaders and armed forces

21 officers guilty of complicity in their operations

22 against civilians, and to make significant progress

23 towards rehabilitation and reestablishment of local

24 communities displaced by the violence and rebuild

25 the physical infrastructure of the communities;
148

HR 1646 RFS

1 (10) calls upon the Department of State to sup2 port United Nations and other international delega3 tions and monitoring efforts by international and

4 nongovernmental agencies in West Papua, Aceh,

5 Maluku, Central Kalimantan, West Timor, and other

11 by assisting in the return of internally displaced peo12 ples and in efforts at reconciliation within and

13 among communities;

14 (11) calls upon the Department of State to en15 sure that all appropriate information regarding cur16 rent conditions in the West Papua, Aceh, Maluku,

17 Kalimantan, and elsewhere in Indonesia is included

18 in the Annual Country Reports on Human Rights

19 Practices and the Annual Report on International

20 Religious Freedom;

21 (12) calls upon the Government of Indonesia to

22 devote official attention, in an atmosphere of open23 ness and transparency and oversight, to investiga24 tions into the numerous cases of disappearances,

25 extrajudicial killings, and other serious human rights
149

HR 1646 RFS

1 violations in West Papua, Aceh, Maluku, Central

2 Kalimantan, elsewhere in Indonesia, and occupied

3 East Timor; and

4 (13) calls upon the United States Government

10 SEC. 738. SENSE OF CONGRESS SUPPORTING PROPERLY

11 CONDUCTED ELECTIONS IN KOSOVA DURING

12 2001.

13 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

14 findings:

15 (1) Former Yugoslav President Slobodan

16 Milosevic perpetrated a brutal campaign of ethnic

17 cleansing against the ethnic Albanian population of

18 Kosova, resulting in thousands of deaths and rapes

19 and the displacement of nearly 1 million people.

20 (2) Prior to the disintegration of the former

21 Yugoslavia, Kosova was a separate political and legal

22 entity with a separate and distinct financial sector,

23 police force, government, education system, judici24 ary, and health care system.
150

HR 1646 RFS

1 (3) During that time, the people of Kosova suc2 cessfully administered the province.

3 (4) During the Milosevic era, Kosovar citizens

4 demonstrated again their ability to govern them5 selves by creating parallel governmental and social

6 institutions.

7 (5) Local elections held in Kosova in 2000 were

8 considered free and fair by international observers.

9 (6) United Nations Security Council Resolution

10 1244 authorizes the United Nations Mission in

11 Kosova to provide for transitional administration

12 while establishing and overseeing the development of

13 democratic and self-governing institutions, including

14 the holding of elections, to ensure conditions for a

15 peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants of

16 Kosova.

17 (7) The United Nations Mission in Kosova and

18 the Organization for Security and Cooperation in

19 Europe should ensure that the conditions for prop20 erly conducted elections in Kosova are in place prior

21 to the election.

22 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the

23 Congress that—
151

HR 1646 RFS

1 (1) the United Nations Mission in Kosova

2 should hold properly conducted elections throughout

3 Kosova during the year 2001;

4 (2) the only way to maintain a true and lasting

5 peace in the region is through the creation of demo6 cratic Kosovar institutions with real governing au7 thority and responsibility, and Kosova-wide jurisdic8 tion;

9 (3) all persons, regardless of ethnicity, are en10 couraged to participate in elections throughout

11 Kosova; and

12 (4) the United States should work with the

13 United Nations Mission in Kosova and the Organi14 zation for Security and Cooperation in Europe to en15 sure that the transition to Kosovar self-government

16 under the terms and conditions of United Nations

17 Security Council Resolution 1244 proceeds peace18 fully, successfully, expeditiously, and in a spirit of

19 ethnic inclusiveness.

20 SEC. 739. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO POLICY RE21 VIEW OF RELATIONS WITH THE PEOPLE’S RE22 PUBLIC OF CHINA.

23 It is the sense of Congress that—

24 (1) the President of the United States and his

25 advisors should be commended for their success and
152

HR 1646 RFS

1 the diplomatic skill with which they negotiated the

2 safe return of the 24 American crew members of the

3 United States Navy reconnaissance aircraft that

4 made an emergency landing on the Chinese island of

5 Hainan on April 1, 2001; and

6 (2) the United States Government should con7 duct a policy review of the nature of its relations

8 with the Government of the People’s Republic of

9 China in light of recent events.

10 SEC. 740. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO BROAD11 CASTING IN THE MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE BY

12 RADIO FREE EUROPE.

13 It is the sense of the Congress that the Broadcasting

15 by Radio Free Europe in the Macedonian language to

16 Macedonian-speaking areas of the Former Yugoslav Re17 public of Macedonia.

18 SEC. 741. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MAGEN

19 DAVID ADOM SOCIETY.

20 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:

21 (1) It is the mission of the International Red

22 Cross and Red Crescent Movement to prevent and

23 alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found,

24 without discrimination.
153

HR 1646 RFS

1 (2) The International Red Cross and Red Cres2 cent Movement is a worldwide institution in which

3 all national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies

4 have equal status.

5 (3) The Magen David Adom Society is the na6 tional humanitarian society in the state of Israel.

7 (4) The Magen David Adom Society follows all

8 the principles of the International Red Cross and

9 Red Crescent Movement.

10 (5) Since the founding of the Magen David

11 Adom Society in 1930, the American Red Cross has

12 regarded it as a sister national society and close

13 working ties have been established between the two

14 societies.

15 (6) The Magen David Adom Society has used

16 the Red Shield of David as its humanitarian emblem

17 since its founding in 1930 for the same purposes

18 that other national Red Cross and Red Crescent so19 cieties use their respective emblems.

20 (7) Since 1949 Magen David Adom has been

21 refused admission into the International Red Cross

1 (8) Magen David Adom is the only humani2 tarian organization equivalent to a national Red

3 Cross or Red Crescent society in a sovereign nation

4 that is denied membership into the International

5 Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

6 (9) The American Red Cross has consistently

7 advocated recognition and membership of the Magen

8 David Adom Society in the International Red Cross

9 and Red Crescent Movement.

10 (10) The House of Representatives adopted H.

11 Res. 464 on May 3, 2000, and the Senate adopted

12 S. Res. 343 on October 18, 2000, expressing the

1 SEC. 742. SENSE OF CONGRESS URGING THE RETURN OF

2 PORTRAITS PAINTED BY DINA BABBITT DUR3 ING HER INTERNMENT AT AUSCHWITZ THAT

4 ARE NOW IN THE POSSESSION OF THE

5 AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU STATE MUSEUM.

6 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

7 findings:

8 (1) Dina Babbitt (formerly known as Dinah

9 Gottliebova), a United States citizen now in her late

10 70’s, has requested the return of watercolor por11 traits she painted while suffering a year-and-a-half12 long internment at the Auschwitz death camp during

13 World War II.

14 (2) Dina Babbitt was ordered to paint the por15 traits by the infamous war criminal Dr. Josef

16 Mengele.

17 (3) Dina Babbitt’s life, and her mother’s life,

18 were spared only because she painted portraits of

19 doomed inmates of Auschwitz-Birkenau, under or20 ders from Dr. Josef Mengele.

21 (4) These paintings are currently in the posses22 sion of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum.

23 (5) Dina Babbitt is unquestionably the rightful

24 owner of the artwork, since the paintings were pro25 duced by her own talented hands as she endured the
157

HR 1646 RFS

1 unspeakable conditions that existed at the Auschwitz

2 death camp.

3 (6) The artwork is not available for the public

4 to view at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum

5 and therefore this unique and important body of

6 work is essentially lost to history.

7 (7) This continued injustice can be righted

8 through cooperation between agencies of the United

9 States and Poland.

10 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress—

11 (1) recognizes the moral right of Dina Babbitt

12 to obtain the artwork she created, and recognizes

13 her courage in the face of the evils perpetrated by

14 the Nazi command of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death

15 camp, including the atrocities committed by Dr.

16 Josef Mengele;

17 (2) urges the President to make all efforts nec18 essary to retrieve the seven watercolor portraits

19 Dina Babbitt painted, while suffering a year-and-a20 half-long internment at the Auschwitz death camp,

21 and return them to her;

22 (3) urges the Secretary of State to make imme23 diate diplomatic efforts to facilitate the transfer of

24 the seven original watercolors painted by Dina Bab-
158

HR 1646 RFS

1 bitt from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum to

2 Dina Babbitt, their rightful owner;

3 (4) urges the Government of Poland to imme4 diately facilitate the return to Dina Babbitt of the

5 artwork painted by her that is now in the possession

6 of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum; and

7 (5) urges the officials of the Auschwitz8 Birkenau State Museum to transfer the seven origi9 nal paintings to Dina Babbitt as expeditiously as

10 possible.

11 SEC. 743. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING VIETNAMESE

12 REFUGEE FAMILIES.

13 It is the sense of the Congress that Vietnamese refu14 gees who served substantial sentences in re-education

15 camps due to their wartime associations with the United

16 States and who, subsequently, were resettled in the United

17 States should be permitted to include their unmarried sons

18 and daughters as family members for purposes of such

19 resettlement.

20 SEC. 744. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO MEMBERSHIP

21 OF THE UNITED STATES IN UNESCO.

22 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

23 findings:

24 (1) The United Nations Educational, Scientific,

25 and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was created
159

HR 1646 RFS

1 in 1946 with the support of the United States as an

2 integral part of the United Nations systems, de3 signed to promote international cooperation and ex4 changes in the fields of education, science, culture,

5 and communication with the larger purpose of con6 structing the defense of peace against intolerance

7 and incitement to war.

8 (2) In 1984, the United States withdrew from

9 membership in UNESCO over serious questions of

10 internal management and political polarization.

11 (3) Since the United States withdrew from the

12 organization, UNESCO addressed such criticisms by

13 electing new leadership, tightening financial controls,

14 cutting budget and staff, restoring recognition of in15 tellectual property rights, and supporting the prin16 ciple of a free and independent international press.

17 (4) In 1993, the General Accounting Office,

18 after conducting an extensive review of UNESCO’s

19 progress in implementing changes, concluded that

20 the organization’s member states, the Director Gen21 eral of UNESCO, managers and employee associa22 tions demonstrated a commitment to management

23 reform through their actions.

24 (5) On September 28, 2000, former Secretary

25 of State George P. Schultz, who implemented the
160

HR 1646 RFS

1 withdrawal of the United States from UNESCO

2 with a letter to the organization’s Director General

3 in 1984, indicated his support for the United States

4 renewal of membership in UNESCO.

5 (6) The participation of the United States in

6 UNESCO programs offers a means for furthering

7 the foreign policy interests of the United States

8 through the promotion of cultural understanding

9 and the spread of knowledge critical to strength10 ening civil society.

11 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the

12 Congress that the President should take all necessary

13 steps to renew the membership and participation of the

14 United States in the United Nations Educational, Sci15 entific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

16 SEC. 745. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO GLOBAL

17 WARMING.

18 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

19 findings:

20 (1) Global climate change poses a significant

21 threat to national security, the American economy,

22 public health and welfare, and the global environ23 ment.

24 (2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

25 Change (IPCC) has found that most of the observed
161

HR 1646 RFS

1 warming over the last 50 years is attributable to

2 human activities, including fossil fuel-generated car3 bon dioxide emissions.

4 (3) The IPCC has stated that global average

5 surface temperatures have risen since 1861.

6 (4) The IPCC has stated that in the last 40

7 years, the global average sea level has risen, ocean

8 heat content has increased, and snow cover and ice

9 extent have decreased which threatens to inundate

10 low-lying Pacific island nations and coastal regions

11 throughout the world.

12 (5) The Environmental Protection Agency pre13 dicts that global warming will harm United States

14 citizens by altering crop yields, causing sea levels to

15 rise, and increasing the spread of tropical infectious

16 diseases.

17 (6) Industrial nations are the largest producers

18 today of fossil fuel-generated carbon dioxide emis19 sions.

20 (7) The United States has ratified the United

21 Nations Framework on Climate Change which

22 states, in part, ‘‘the Parties to the Convention are

23 to implement policies with the aim of returning . . . to

24 their 1990 levels anthropogenic emissions of carbon

25 dioxide and other greenhouse gases’’.
162

HR 1646 RFS

1 (8) The United Nations Framework Convention

2 on Climate Change further states that ‘‘developed

3 country Parties should take the lead in combating

4 climate change and the adverse effects thereof’’.

5 (9) Action by the United States to reduce emis6 sions, taken in concert with other industrialized na7 tions, will promote action by developing countries to

8 reduce their own emissions.

9 (10) A growing number of major American

10 businesses are expressing a need to know how gov11 ernments worldwide will respond to the threat of

12 global warming.

13 (11) More efficient technologies and renewable

14 energy sources will mitigate global warming and will

15 make the United States economy more productive

16 and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

17 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the

18 Congress that the United States should demonstrate inter19 national leadership and responsibility in mitigating the

20 health, environmental, and economic threats posed by

21 global warming by—

22 (1) taking responsible action to ensure signifi23 cant and meaningful reductions in emissions of car24 bon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from all sec25 tors; and
163

HR 1646 RFS

1 (2) continuing to participate in international

2 negotiations with the objective of completing the

3 rules and guidelines for the Kyoto Protocol in a

4 manner that is consistent with the interests of the

5 United States and that ensures the environmental

6 integrity of the protocol.

7 SEC. 746. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE BAN ON

8 SINN FEIN MINISTERS FROM THE NORTH9 SOUTH MINISTERIAL COUNCIL IN NORTHERN

10 IRELAND.

11 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

12 findings:

13 (1) The Good Friday Agreement established the

14 North-South Ministerial Council to bring together

15 those with executive responsibilities in Northern Ire16 land and the Republic of Ireland to discuss matters

17 of mutual interest on a cross-border and all-island

18 basis.

19 (2) The Ulster Unionist Party, Social Demo20 cratic and Labour Party, Sinn Fein and the Demo21 cratic Unionist Party comprise the Northern Ireland

22 executive.

23 (3) First Minister David Trimble continues to

24 ban Sinn Fein Ministers Martin McGuiness and
164

HR 1646 RFS

1 Bairbre de Brun from attending North-South Min2 isterial Council meetings.

3 (4) On January 30, 2001, the Belfast High

4 Court ruled First Minister Trimble had acted ille5 gally in preventing the Sinn Fein Ministers from at6 tending the North-South Ministerial Council meet7 ings.

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress calls upon

9 First Minister David Trimble to adhere to the terms of

10 the Good Friday Agreement and lift the ban on the par11 ticipation of Sinn Fein Ministers on the North-South Min12 isterial Council.

13 SEC. 747. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE NEGO14 TIATION OF EFFECTIVE EXTRADITION TREA15 TIES.

16 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds as follows:

17 (1) According to the Department of Justice,

18 there are approximately 3,000 open extradition cases

19 worldwide at any time.

20 (2) The United States has extradition treaties

21 with only approximately 60 percent of the worlds na22 tions.

23 (3) Of such treaties, nearly half were enacted

24 prior to World War II and are seriously out of date.
165

HR 1646 RFS

1 (4) Treaties enacted prior to the 1970’s are ba2 sically ineffective because only specific crimes listed

3 in the treaties are extraditable offenses.

4 (5) Treaties negotiated since the 1970’s are

5 much more effective because they are flexible and re6 flect modern criminal justice issues such as inter7 national child abduction and cybercrimes.

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress calls on the

9 Secretary of State to develop and implement a process for

10 negotiating new effective extradition treaties with coun11 tries with which the United States has no current extra12 dition treay, as well as renegotiating old ineffective trea13 ties, and to work closely with the Department of Justice

14 in achieving these objectives.

15 SEC. 748. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO UPCOMING

16 ELECTIONS IN FIJI, EAST TIMOR, AND PERU.

17 It is the sense of the Congress that—

18 (1) the upcoming national elections in Fiji and

19 East Timor in August 2001 and Peru in June 2001

20 are crucial and should be conducted in a free, fair,

21 and democratic manner; and

22 (2) the Secretary of State should send election

23 monitors to Fiji, and should offer technical support,

24 as appropriate, to East Timor and Peru, to support

25 free and fair elections in these nations.

HR 1646 RFS

1 SEC. 749. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE MURDER

2 OF JOHN M. ALVIS.

6 brutally murdered in Baku, Azerbaijan.

7 (2) John Alvis was serving his final two weeks

8 of a two year full-time commitment to the Inter9 national Republican Institute, an American non10 governmental organization carrying out assistance

11 projects for the United States Government to help

12 promote democracy and strengthen the rule of law

13 in Azerbaijan.

14 (3) Almost immediately following the news of

15 the murder of John M. Alvis, our United States Am16 bassador to Azerbaijan, Ross Wilson, raised the

17 issue with the the President of Azerbaijan and with

18 the Minister of Interior, and was assured that every

19 effort would be made to carry out a prompt and

20 thorough investigation.

21 (4) After the murder, 18 members of Congress,

22 led by Congressman Kevin Brady and then-Chair23 man of the House International Relations Com24 mittee, Ben Gilman, wrote President Aliyev express25 ing the commitment of the Congress to seeing

26 John’s murder solved, and Senator John McCain

13 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con14 gress that—

15 (1) the United States and the Congress is abso16 lutely committed to ensuring that the truth of the

17 murder of John M. Alvis is determined and the indi18 vidual or individuals responsible for this heinous act

19 are brought to justice; and

20 (2) the Congress—

21 (A) appreciates the efforts of the Govern22 ment of Azerbaijan to find the murderer or

23 murderers of John M. Alvis and urges it to con24 tinue to make it a high priority; and

8 SEC. 750. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO REMARKS BY

9 THE PRESIDENT OF SYRIA CONCERNING

10 ISRAEL.

11 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:

12 (1) On March 27, 2001, at the first regular

13 Arab summit gathering in more than 10 years,

14 President Bashar al-Assad used his speech to lash

15 out at Israel.

16 (2) On March 28, 2001, the New York Times

17 reported, ‘‘In electing Mr. Sharon to be their leader,

18 President Assad said, Israelis had chosen a man who

19 hated anything to do with Arabs and had dedicated

20 his career to killing them.’’.

21 (3) President Assad additionally said, ‘‘We say

22 that the head of the government is a racist, it’s a

23 racist government, a racist army and security force,’’

24 he said, adding that by extension, ‘‘It is a racist so25 ciety and it is even more racist than the Nazis.’’.
169

HR 1646 RFS

1 (4) On March 28, 2001, State Department

2 spokesman Richard Boucher described President

3 Assad’s remarks as, ‘‘absolutely wrong . . . totally un4 acceptable and inappropriate.’’.

5 (5) On March 29, 2001, the Bush administra6 tion’s top Middle East diplomat, Assistant Secretary

7 of State Edward Walker, responding to Assad’s re8 marks stated, ‘‘His statement at the Arab League

9 was unacceptable, particularly his reference to Zion10 ism as racism.’’.

11 (6) On May 5, 2001, in his welcoming speech

12 to Pope John Paul II, upon the Pope’s arrival in

13 Damascus, President Assad said, ‘‘They, Israelis, try

14 to kill all the principles of divine faiths with the

15 same mentality of betraying Jesus Christ and tor16 turing Him, and in the same way that they tried to

17 commit treachery against Prophet Mohammad.’’.

18 (7) On May 6, 2001, at the Umayyad Mosque,

19 Muhammad Ziyadah, Syria’s minister of religious af20 fairs, said, ‘‘We must be fully aware of what the en21 emies of God and malicious Zionism conspire to

22 commit against Christianity and Islam.’’.

23 (8) On May 7, 2001, State Department spokes24 man Richard Boucher condemned President Assad’s

25 remarks, ‘‘Our view is that these comments are as
170

HR 1646 RFS

1 regrettable as they are unacceptable. There’s no

2 place from anyone or from any side for statements

3 that inflame religious passions and hatred.’’.

4 (9) It is only through constructive diplomacy,

5 and not through hateful, counterproductive speech,

6 that peace can possibly be achieved in the Middle

7 East.

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress—

9 (1) condemns Syrian President Bashar al-Assad

10 for his inflammatory remarks on March 27, 2001,

11 and May 5, 2001;

12 (2) expresses its solidarity with the state and

13 people of Israel at this time of crisis;

14 (3) calls upon President Assad and the Syrian

18 response to President Assad’s remarks; and

19 (5) urges the Administration to emphasize to

20 Syrian Government officials the concerns of the

21 United States about the negative impact such re22 marks make on Middle East peace negotiations.

4 FROM FORMER UNITED STATES MILITARY

5 FACILITIES.

6 It is the sense of the Congress that—

4 SEC. 752. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE LOCATION

5 OF PEACE CORPS OFFICES ABROAD.

6 It is the sense of the Congress that, to the degree

7 permitted by security considerations, the Secretary of

8 State should give favorable consideration to requests by

9 the Director of the Peace Corps that the Secretary exer10 cise his authority under section 606(a)(2)(B) of the Se11 cure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of

12 1999 (22 U.S.C. 4865(a)(2)(B)) to waive certain require13 ments of that Act in order to permit the Peace Corps to

11 (5) The incarceration of United States civilians

12 by the Axis Powers during World War II and the

13 conditions of such incarceration violated inter14 national human rights principles.

17 and women who endured the terrible hardships of

9 SEC. 1001. SHORT TITLE.

10 This title may be cited as the ‘‘East Timor Transition

11 to Independence Act of 2001’’.

12 SEC. 1002. FINDINGS.

13 Congress makes the following findings:

14 (1) On August 30, 1999, the East Timorese

15 people voted overwhelmingly in favor of independ16 ence from Indonesia. Anti-independence militias,

17 with the support of the Indonesian military, at18 tempted to prevent then retaliated against this vote

19 by launching a campaign of terror and violence, dis20 placing 500,000 people and murdering at least

21 1,000 people.

22 (2) The violent campaign devastated East

23 Timor’s infrastructure, destroyed or severely dam24 aged 60 to 80 percent of public and private prop25 erty, and resulted in the collapse of virtually all
212

HR 1646 RFS

1 vestiges of government, public services and public se2 curity.

3 (3) The Australian-led International Force for

4 East Timor (INTERFET) entered East Timor in

5 September 1999 and successfully restored order. On

6 October 25, 1999, the United Nations Transitional

7 Administration for East Timor (UNTAET) began to

8 provide overall administration of East Timor, guide

9 the people of East Timor in the establishment of a

10 new democratic government, and maintain security

11 and order.

12 (4) UNTAET and the East Timorese leader13 ship currently anticipate that East Timor will be14 come an independent nation as early as late 2001.

15 (5) East Timor is one of the poorest places in

16 Asia. A large percentage of the population live below

17 the poverty line, only 20 percent of East Timor’s

18 population is literate, most of East Timor’s people

19 remain unemployed, the annual per capita Gross Na20 tional Product is $340, and life expectancy is only

21 56 years.

22 (6) The World Bank and the United Nations

23 have estimated that it will require $300,000,000 in

24 development assistance over the next 3 years to meet

25 East Timor’s basic development needs.

12 Congress finds the following:

13 (1) Supporting human rights is in the national

14 interests of the United States and is consistent with

15 American values and beliefs.

16 (2) Defenders of human rights are changing

17 our world in many ways, including protecting free18 dom and dignity, religious liberty, the rights of

19 women and children, freedom of the press, the rights

20 of workers, the environment, and the human rights

21 of all persons.

22 (3) The United States must match its rhetoric

23 on human rights with action and with sufficient re24 sources to provide meaningful support for human

25 rights and for the defenders of human rights.
227

HR 1646 RFS

1 (4) Providing one percent of amounts available

2 annually for foreign affairs operations for human

3 rights activities, including human rights monitoring,

9 developments in such countries, including the moni10 toring of arms exports.
