FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUGUST 4, 1992


          Statement by Sen. Al Gore on Bosnia Camps

     Reports of atrocities in the Bosnian war have become a daily
fare of increasingly more disturbing proportions.  Word that
Serbian forces are operating secret detention camps where
helpless and innocent people are kept under barbaric conditions, and where
they are subjected to torture and death at the whim of their
captors, must deepen our anger, our disgust, and our resolve to
take action to strop what is taking place.

     The full attention and authority of the world community must
be brought to bear.  Our government should take the lead to call
for a special session of the UN Security Council.  We should
propose that the Council issue an immediate demand that
international observers gain access to any place where prisoners
are held, that civilians be released to UN custody, and that any
military prisoners must be held under condition s defined by
international law.  That demand should be backed by a readiness
to take collective action, including the use of force.  The United
States should make clear that it is prepared to lend appropriate
support to any such action.  These atrocities are crimes under
international law, and steps should be taken at once to document
them, and to identify those who must ultimately be brought to
justice.

     What is happening in Bosnia to innocent people who are being
brutalized transcends our political differences here at home.
Governor Clinton and I will support urgent and appropriate action
by the Administration.
