HL Deb 24 January 1996 vol 568 c72WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether President Clinton's undertaking to the US Congress to secure the arming of the Bosnians has the approval of the United Nations Security Council; how this rearming is to be effected; what weapons and intelligence will be provided, by whom and at whose expense, with whose agreement and what purpose.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

UN Security Council Resolution 1021 describes the phased lifting of the arms embargo on Bosnia and Herzegovina, in accordance with the provisions of Annex 1B of the Peace Agreement signed in Paris on 14 December 1995. Within this framework, United States policy on arming the Bosnians is a matter for them.
