We reprint here the text of a resolution on Bosnia passed by Oxford East CLP, and urge anyone who can to put similar resolutions to their Labour party branches. «This GC notes:
1. The ongoing Bosnian resistance and its multi-ethnic character 2. The effect of the arms embargo in depriving the Bosnian resistance of the ability to fight back 3. The aim of the UN and Western states involved to do a deal with Serb leader Milosevic which would result in a carve-up of Bosnia, based on ethnic cleansing and so-called ethnic purity 4. The convoy, launched by SUICION Integie the Timex strikers and organised by International Workers Aid, which succeeded in breaking the siege of Tuzla last November.
This GC asserts Bosnia's right to exist as a multi-ethnic state and opposes any plan to break it up.
The defeat of the Bosnian resistance would strengthen reaction, in particular Greater Serbian chauvinism, against the Albanians in Kosovo and other national groupings.
This GC believes that further involvement of foreign troops or NATO airstrikes, , offer no real solution to Bosnia and no solution to the peoples of the Balkans.
This GC therefore supports the multi-ethnic Bosnian resistance and agrees to:
1. Support the efforts of International Workers Aid in sending other convoys to Tuzla and in building links with trade unions in former Yugoslavia 2. Send a copy of this resolution to the Shadow Cabinet"
