HL Deb 29 July 1997 vol 582 c19WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Who is responsible for monitoring that the arming of Bosnian Muslim-Croat forces by a United States mercenary firm complies with the arms control provisions of the Dayton Agreement.

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The arms control agreement negotiated under Article IV of Annex 1B of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina provides for an intrusive inspection regime. Inspections are carried out by the parties to the agreement to verify weapons holdings in the five categories covered by the agreement. The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) provides support on request.
