104-sres-248 104 sres 248 A resolution relating to the violence in Liberia. International Affairs 1996-04-18 1996-04-18 Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Senate Sen. Feingold, Russell D. [D-WI] WI D F000061 7 Commends the U.S. armed forces and U.S. Embassy personnel for the successful evacuation of over 1,795 people from Liberia. Declares that a breakdown of the Abuja process would have disastrous humanitarian ramifications and seriously threaten other U.S. interests in West Africa. Calls upon all factions to reach a cease-fire and recommit themselves to the Abuja process. Urges the Administration to: (1) identify funds that could be either reprogrammed or transferred and used to support additional non-Nigerian West African peacekeepers; (2) consider the provision of excess defense articles for communications and logistical support and training for crowd-control techniques for non-Nigerian troops to participate effectively in a West African peacekeeping force; (3) use its influence with other nations with interests in Liberia to solicit further support for West African peacekeeping forces, including their participation at the April 26 meeting of a newly formed Contact Group in Liberia; and (4) lead United Nations (UN) efforts to activate a Commission to develop an implementation plan and sanctions against those parties violating the UN arms embargo on Liberia. 2025-01-14T19:00:46Z
