That this House condemns the behaviour of the Right honourable and Learned Member for Folkstone and Hythe in relation to the ongoing conflict in Kosovo by attempting to use the situation for party political purposes; further condemns the Right honourable and Learned Member's claim that the campaign was being 'made up as we go along' and had not been properly thought through, thereby undermining the work of NATO in trying to end the ethnic cleansing and war crimes being committed by Slobodan Milosevic; further notes, that he has consistently attempted to undermine the work of the Prime Minister and the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary in the conduct of the military action; and further notes the ease with which the Right honourable and Learned Member seems to attack NATO and British troops and argue that NATO and Britain have 'failed' in their aims while service personnel are still risking their lives trying to stop Milosevic.

That this House recognises that an eventual political solution to the crisis in the Balkans will require an internationally co-ordinated programme of reconstruction; further recognises that future instances of ethnically-motivated wars will require some form of international peace-keeping and peace-making; believes that preventing such wars taking place is the most effective way of preserving both life and pluralism in ethnically-riven societies who tensions have often been exacerbated by economic difficulties in a fast-globalising world economy as well as by the restrictive actions of international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank; further believes that whilst military operations, reconstruction and development, including debt-relief and debt-cancellation, will always have to be funded, in part at least, from taxation on individuals and their families, it is also incumbent on international finance capital to shoulder a fair burden of the costs of providing and protecting a stable political environment for commerce and opening up new markets for the prosperity of the many, not the few; and urges the United Kingdom Government to pursue, with vigour, the possibility of an internationally co-ordinated tax on currency speculation which has the potential of raising substantial revenues for the benefit of humanity as a whole.

That this House recognises the importance of bringing all those who commit grave violations of human rights and humanitarian law to justice; welcomes the support that Her Majesty's Government has given to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia; recognises the need to ensure that all relevant intelligence information gathered by NATO is made available to the ICTY, and that the ICTY received adequate resources to enable it to carry out its work of investigations and prosecutions connected with events in Kosovo; further recognises that the events in Kosovo underline the urgent need for a permanent court to prosecute those who commit genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to bring forward legislation in the next Queen's Speech to enable the UK to ratify the Statute for an International Criminal Court.

That this House condemns unreservedly recent Serbian violence against the civilian population of Kosova; fully supports the attempts of President Rugova to achieve a peaceful resolution of the conflict; recognises that the intransigence of Slobodan Milosevic and attempts at ethnic cleansing have resulted in increasing support for the Kosova Liberation Army which makes a peaceful conclusion, as advocated by President Rugova, more difficult to achieve; believes that firm action is required by the international community but recognises that the stationing of NATO forces along the Albanian or Macedonian border may adversely affect the Albanian majority in Kosova by cutting off both their route of refuge and supplies; recalls that appeasement of the Serbs led to massive slaughter and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and that only the threat of, and actual use of military force had any impact on the behaviour of the Belgrade regime; and calls on the international community to take whatever action is necessary, including the use of military force, to protect the people of Kosova and defend their right to self-determination.

That this House gives its wholehearted support to measures to secure peace in the former Yugoslavia; regrets that the issue of Kosova does not appear on the agenda of the Peace Implementation Conference; expresses its concern about the current situation in Kosova where the persecution of the Albanian majority continues with widespread abuse of human rights; rejects the arguments put forward by President Milosevic that this is entirely an internal matter for Serbia; notes that President Rugova and the Democratic League of Kosova have advocated a policy of peaceful resistance and have called for restraint from all Kosova's citizens; is aware that this policy is now being called into question, particularly by younger people, who are frustrated that their passive stance seems to have been ignored by the international community; is concerned at attempts by the Milosevic regime to change the demography of the area by the resettlement of thousands of Serb refugees from Krajina; draws attention to the danger of a further war in the Balkans with the possible involvement of Serbia-Montenegro, Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece with the possibility of Turkey being drawn into the conflict and the consequent destabilisation of the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to use the opportunity of the London talks to raise these concerns and secure full democratic and human rights for the people of Kosova.
