The Senate finds that: 1. In Bosnia-Hercegovina the civilian population has been subject to egregious violations of basic human rights, including wide-spread willful killing, the torture of prisoners, deliberate attacks on non-combatants, the intentional impeding of the delivery of food and medical supplies to the civilian population, mass forcible expulsion and deportation of civilians, the abuse of civilians in detention centers, and the wanton devastation and destruction of property. 2. Ethnic cleansing, the systematic persecution of minorities, indiscriminate attacks on civilians, violations of internationally-held humanitarian principles, and the deliberate targeting of aid workers has been and continues to be common events in the conflict in Bosnia-Hercegovina.
