MOSCOW (June 17) XINHUA - The Russian State
Duma on Thursday unanimously approved a
resolution "on the need to hold NATO
Secretary-General Javier Solana responsible for
being the organizer of the NATO aggression against
Yugoslavia."
Deputy speaker Sergei Baburin (Popular Rule), who
presented the resolution to the lower house of
parliament, said it had been drafted by the
anti-NATO commission that unites members from all
parliamentary groups.
The resolution said that deputies have brought up
the criminal nature of the NATO aggression many
times.
"Top officials from NATO and primarily NATO
Secretary-General Solana, who decided on the
commencement of hostilities against Yugoslavia,
committed a war crime and should be punished for
crimes against humanity committed during the
aggression," the resolution said.
The Duma will forward the resolution to President
Boris Yeltsin and Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin
