Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that criminals from

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 26, 1996
Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey (for himself, Mr. PORTER, Mr. LANTOS, Mr. BE-

WOLF, Mr. FATTAH, Mr. TORRICELLI, Mrs. CLAYTON, Mr. OLVER, Mr.
EVANS, Ms. WATERS, Mr. CONYERS, and Mr. CUMMINGS) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Inter-
national Relations
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
criminals from the genocide in Rwanda should be
brought to justice by the International Criminal Tribunal
for Rwanda.
Whereas the world community should not tolerate crimes
against humanity or any other serious violations of inter-
national humanitarian law;
Whereas war criminals who were responsible for the most
horrendous crimes against humanity the world has ever
witnessed were brought to justice with trials in Nurem-
berg, Germany;
•HRES 491 IH
Whereas the world community has witnessed in Rwanda
genocide, systematic mass murders, violations of the
human rights of individuals, and many other crimes
against humanity;
Whereas there is no place in the world community for individ-
uals who perpetrate, order, or condone crimes against
humanity;
Whereas swift and effective justice is the most effective deter-
rent against the recurrence of crimes against humanity;
and
Whereas justice is and can be the only foundation for a last-
ing peace: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the perpetrators of genocide and other
crimes against humanity and violations of fun-
damental human rights in Rwanda should be con-
demned and that the international community and
the United States should provide the resources to
avoid unnecessary and damaging delay in the justice
process;
(2) those individuals who have been indicted by
the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
should be prosecuted by the Tribunal for their
crimes;
(3) close coordination between the International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the Rwandan na-
•HRES 491 IH
tional justice system is needed because many individ-
uals who have been indicted by the Tribunal are
being held for potential prosecution in the Rwandan
national justice system;
(4) all countries should take the appropriate
measures necessary to ensure that those individuals
indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for
Rwanda found within the borders of such countries
be apprehended and turned over to the Tribunal for
prosecution; and
(5) the President should instruct the United
States representative to the United Nations to use
the voice and vote of the United States in the Unit-
ed Nations Security Council to ensure that such in-
dicted individuals are apprehended and prosecuted.
