Weapons monitors, 'no-fly' zone fail to stem Bosnian violence
Article Abstract:
Serbian nationalists have violated the United Nations (UN) Security Council proposal by conducting air attacks despite the declaration of Bosnia as an 'air-exclusion zone.' Serbian nationalists have abused the Security Council Resolution 781, which placed all Bosnian Serb aircaft under UN vigilance, by carefully hiding weapons from UN monitors. They have also proved wrong the Serbian leader Radovan Kardzic's claims to use arms only for self defense. Meanwhile, the Security Council allowed the UN Protection Force to use power against the nationalist forces, who resorted to the use of heavy weapons, including tanks.

Reports reveal Saudi transfers of U.S.-supplied weapons
Article Abstract:
A report in The Los Angeles Times claimed that Saudi Arabia repeatedly made transfers of US-supplied weapons to third parties, including Iraq. The report claimed that the Saudi government supplied Iraq with an undisclosed number of US-made bombs during itswar with Iran. The same report also charged that after the Gulf War of 1991, the Saudis transferred American military equipment, without permission, to Bangladesh and Syria. The reports may jeopardize the planned sale of F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.

Balkan combatants agree on relief, U.N. monitoring - or do they?
Article Abstract:
The London conference on the Yugoslavian conflict sponsored by the UN and the EC resulted in an agreement between the combatants that all detention camps were to be closed and that all heavy weapons would be subjected to UN monitoring. However, doubts were expressed as to whether the parties, especially the Serbs, would adhere to the agreement. The UN has taken steps to help stop the fighting, but it has so far been frustrated in its efforts by logistical problems and political limitations.
