HL Deb 09 January 1996 vol 568 cc5-6WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether there are any exceptions to the general principle that all United States forces in and operating over and into the area of ex-Yugoslavia will be under the direction and political control of the North Atlantic Council through the NATO chain of command.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

All American troops in the Bosnian Implementation Force (IFOR) will be under the direction and political control of the North Atlantic Council through the NATO chain of command.

American forces also participate in the United Nations Preventative Deployment Force (UNPREDEP) in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. UNPREDEP operates under a UN chain of command.
