5 Ω108æFISHING IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA

6 SEC. 584. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

7 (1) the Central Bering Sea Fisheries Enforce8 ment Act of 1992 (title III of Public Law 102–582)

9 prohibits United States nationals and vessels from

10 conducting fishing operations in the Central Bering

11 Sea, in an area known as ‘‘the Doughnut’’, except

12 when such fishing operations are in accordance with

13 an international fishery agreement to which the

14 United States and the Russian Federation are par15 ties;

16 (2) the Central Bering Sea Fishery Enforcement

17 Act also prohibits the entry into United States ports

18 of any fishing vessel from a nation whose vessels or

19 nationals conduct fishing operations in the Doughnut

20 in the absence of such an international fishery agree21 ment;

22 (3) the United States and the Russian Federa23 tion have participated in seven multilateral meetings

24 among nations whose vessels or nationals fish in the
114

HR 2295 PP

1 Doughnut to discuss an international fishery agree2 ment;

3 (4) a moratorium on fishing in the Doughnut for

4 1993 and 1994 was agreed to by the United States,

5 the Russian Federation, Japan, Korea, Poland, and

6 the People’s Republic of China as part of these discus7 sions, in order to facilitate negotiations on an inter8 national fishery agreement;

9 (5) at the Vancouver Summit on April 4, 1993,

10 Presidents Clinton and Yeltsin committed to develop11 ing further bilateral cooperation on fishery matters in

12 the Bering Sea;

13 (6) an international fishery agreement has not

14 yet been reached despite the best efforts of the United

15 States and the Russian Federation; and

16 (7) the cooperation of nations which receive aid

17 through monies provided by this Act is needed in

18 order for an international fishery agreement to be

19 reached.

20 (b) REVIEW.—In light of the findings in subsection

21 (a), it is the sense of the Congress that the cooperation of

22 nations whose vessels and nationals conduct fishing oper23 ations in the Central Bering Sea should be carefully consid24 ered in making appropriations for programs from which

25 those nations will receive aid monies in fiscal year 1995,
115

HR 2295 PP

1 and that Congress should seriously consider withholding

2 any such monies until such time as an acceptable inter3 national fishery agreement is reached.

16 by mutual agreement of the parties.

17 Ω113æPOLICY WITH RESPECT TO RESTORATION OF

18 DEMOCRACY IN HAITI

19 SEC. 589. (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

20 (1) the Governors Island Accord signed in July

21 1993 calls for the restoration of democracy in Haiti,

22 including a return of Haiti’s duly elected President

23 Jean Bertrande Aristide;

24 (2) in the last 3 months, scores of Haitians have

25 been killed or injured in politically motivated attacks
120

HR 2295 PP

1 by paramilitary groups operating with the apparent

2 complicity of Haitian security forces, and inter3 national human rights monitors have reported a

4 greater increase in violence than at any time since

5 the violent overthrow of President Aristide in 1991;

6 (3) officials of President Aristide’s government

7 have received death threats or have been otherwise

8 threatened, harassed, and intimidated as they have

9 attempted to exercise the duties of their offices;

10 (4) conditions in Haiti are forcing Haitians to

11 flee their country in search of refuge;

12 (5) the exodus of Haitian refugees contributes to

13 regional instability and threatens to overwhelm the

14 ability of the United States and other nations to pro15 vide safe haven to these refugees;

16 (6) the recent acts of violence are completely un17 justifiable and violate the spirit of national reconcili18 ation embodied in the Governors Island Agreement;

19 (7) the United Nations sanctions suspended re20 cently, after consultation with the United States and

21 other nations, were suspended in good faith, in the

22 full expectation that the terms of the Governors Island

23 Accord would be executed faithfully by all parties in

24 an atmosphere free of political violence, coercion, and

25 intimidation;
121

HR 2295 PP

1 (8) on September 17 the United Nations Security

2 Council deplored the recent upsurge in violence in

3 Haiti and said that if the Secretary General deter4 mines there has been serious and consistent non5 compliance with the Governor’s Island Agreement, the

6 Council ‘‘will immediately reinstate those measures

7 provided for in Resolution 841 appropriate to the sit8 uation, with particular emphasis on those measures

9 aimed at those deemed responsible for the noncompli10 ance of the agreement.’’; and

11 (9) on September 21, 1993, President Aristide

12 called upon the United Nations to reimpose com13 prehensive sanctions on Haiti.

14 (b) POLICY.—(1) It is the sense of the Senate that the

15 highest priority of United States policy toward Haiti

16 should be to help restore democratic government there in

17 an atmosphere free of violence and fear.

18 (2) The Senate—

19 (A) commends the President for condemning the

20 violence in Haiti, and for his continuing vigorous ef21 forts to convey to the Haitian security forces the

22 United States unshakable support for the interim gov23 ernment of Prime Minister Malval and the restora24 tion of democracy there under the Governors Island

25 timetable, as evidenced by a recent visit of high-rank-
122

HR 2295 PP

1 ing United States diplomatic and military officials to

2 Haiti to discuss security and other issues with Hai3 tian military officials; and

4 (B) urges the President—

5 (i) to consider immediate reimposition of

6 United States-sponsored sanctions against the de

7 facto military government of Haiti;

8 (ii) to consult on an urgent basis with other

9 members of the Security Council to determine if

10 a reimposition of United Nations-sponsored

11 sanctions is now appropriate;

12 (iii) to provide all necessary support to ex13 pedite the arrival of United Nations police mon14 itors in Haiti; and

15 (iv) to support the new Government of Hai16 ti’s efforts to identify and remove human rights

17 violators from the Haitian security forces.

18 Ω114æSTATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE UNITED NATIONS

19 SEC. 590. It is the sense of the Congress that—

20 (1) the Secretary General of the United Nations

21 should—

22 (A) immediately establish a permanent,

23 independent inspector general with responsibil24 ities and authority similar to the offices of In25 spectors General as authorized by the Inspector
123

HR 2295 PP

1 General Act of 1978, and that such office should

2 carry out internal audits and investigations of

3 United Nations operations, remedy any irreg4 ularities found by such audits, and establish a

5 system of cost-based accounting; and

6 (B) establish a system allowing for the re7 view of internal audits by representatives of the

11 goals referred to in paragraph (1).

12 Ω115æMIDDLE EAST PEACE FACILITATION ACT

13 SEC. 591. (a) Until January 1, 1994, the President

17 and programs for the benefit of entities associated with it,

18 which accept the commitments made by the PLO on Sep19 tember 9, 1993: Provided, That before exercising this au20 thority, the President shall consult with the relevant com21 mittees of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Pro22 vided further, That the President determines, and notifies

6 Ω116æPOLICY CONCERNING HUMAN RIGHTS AND

7 DEMOCRACY IN VIETNAM

8 SEC. 592. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

9 (1) the ending of the Cold War provides an un10 precedented opportunity for democratic reform and

11 improvements in human rights throughout the world;

12 (2) the government and citizens of the United

13 States view positively recent improvements in resolv14 ing POW/MIA cases by the Socialist Republic of Viet15 nam and wish to promote even greater openness in

16 that country;

17 (3) recent economic reforms and initiatives un18 dertaken by the Vietnamese Government can best be

19 encouraged and built upon through political liberal20 ization;

21 (4) the interests of the United States and the

22 people of Vietnam, and the international community

23 would best be served by having a friendly and demo24 cratic government in Vietnam;
125

HR 2295 PP

1 (5) the United States currently has no program

2 to support political reform in Vietnam; and

3 (6) greater respect for internationally recognized

4 human rights and a peaceful transition to democracy

5 in Vietnam would greatly reduce the threat to the sta6 bility of Southeast Asia, allow for the rapid resolution

7 of the POW/MIA issue, and enable the creation of a

8 free-market economy in Vietnam.

9 (b) POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that—

10 (1) the United States should support the process

11 of nonviolent democratic reform in Vietnam;

12 (2) the Secretary of State should declare United

13 States support for the democratization of Vietnam

14 and reaffirm that measurable progress on the POW/

15 MIA issue is critical to normalizing economic and

16 diplomatic relations with the United States;

17 (3) the Administration should take the lead in

18 mobilizing the United Nations, ASEAN members,

19 human rights organizations, and the various other in20 terest groups, including United States businesses op21 erating in Vietnam under the guidelines of current

22 United States policy to work toward the common goal

23 of promoting basic human rights, the rule of law and

24 free and democratic elections in Vietnam;
126

HR 2295 PP

1 (4) the United States should increase its support

2 for Voice of America programming in Vietnam;

3 (5) the Administration should make every effort

4 to stress with officials of the Vietnamese government

5 at every oppportunity the importance of human

6 rights in the relationship between our two nations;

7 and

8 (6) the Administration should raise with officials

9 of the Vietnamese government at every opportunity

10 outstanding individual human rights cases.

11 Ω117æSENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING IMPORTATION

12 OF PRODUCTS MADE WITH CHILD LABOR

13 SEC. 593. (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the fol14 lowing findings:

15 (1) Principle 9 of the Declaration of the Rights

16 of the Child, proclaimed by the General Assembly of

17 the United Nations on November 20, 1959, states that

18 ‘‘the child shall not be admitted to employment before

19 an appropriate minimum age; he shall in no case be

20 caused or permitted to engage in any occupation or

21 employment which would prejudice his health or edu22 cation, or interfere with his physical, mental, or

23 moral development’’.

24 (2) Article 2 of the International Labor Conven25 tion No. 138 Concerning Minimum Age For Admis-
127

HR 2295 PP

1 sion to Employment states: ‘‘The minimum age speci2 fied in pursuance of paragraph 1 of this article shall

3 not be less than the age of compulsory schooling and,

4 in any case, shall not be less than 15 years.’’.

5 (3) The International Labor Organization esti6 mates there are hundreds of millions of children in

7 Asia, Africa, and Latin America under the age of 15

8 that are working, many of them in dangerous indus9 tries such as glass, metal works, textiles, mining, and

10 fireworks manufacturing.

11 (4) The number of children under the age of 15

12 who are working, and the scale of their suffering, in13 crease every year, despite the existence of more than

14 20 International Labor Organization conventions on

15 child labor and laws in many countries which pro16 hibit the employment of underage children. The De17 partment of Labor’s second biennial report on inter18 national worker rights, notes that ‘‘child labor has

19 been a dramatically worsening global problem’’.

20 (5) In many countries, children under the age of

21 15 lack either the legal standing or means to protect

22 themselves from exploitation in the workplace.

23 (6) Bonded child labor is a particularly egre24 gious violation of human rights and constitutes a de

25 facto form of slavery.
128

HR 2295 PP

1 (7) The South Asian Coalition on Child Ser2 vitude estimates there are over 55,000,000 child labor3 ers in South Asia alone, of which 10,000,000 are

4 bonded child laborers.

5 (8) The employment of children under the age of

6 15 commonly deprives the children of the opportunity

7 for basic education, perpetuates the cycle of poverty,

8 often undermines the stability of families, denies

9 gainful employment to millions of adults, and retards

10 efforts to achieve sustainable economic development in

11 Third World nations.

12 (9) Since the passage of the Fair Labor Stand13 ards Act of 1938, the intent of the Congress has been

14 to assure that the streams of commerce are not defiled

15 by the products of child labor.

16 (10) American consumers do not want to provide

17 a market for goods produced by the sweat and toil of

18 children.

19 (11) Evidence suggests that many products made

20 with child labor are being imported into the United

21 States.

22 (12) September 18, 1993, has been set aside to

23 observe International Day Against Child Servitude.

24 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen25 ate that—
129

HR 2295 PP

1 (1) the economic exploitation of children, espe2 cially the practice of bonded child labor should be

3 strongly condemned;

4 (2) it should be the policy of the United States

5 to not allow the importation of products made by

6 children who are employed in industry or mining;

7 and

8 (3) the President should take action to seek an

9 agreement with governments that conduct trade with

10 the United States for the purpose of securing an

11 international ban on trade in products made with

12 child labor.
