There are increasing reports of atrocities against Albanians. We are alarmed at the reports. We are putting a great deal of resources to check them out.

There are increasing reports of atrocities against Albanian civilians in Kosovo. We are extremely alarmed by these reports.

Attacks directed against the civilian population, the summary execution of detained persons and wanton destruction or devastation not justified by military necessity are war crimes under international law.

Our position is clear. Milosevic must halt the offensive against the Kosovar Albanians, withdraw his forces and embrace a settlement based on the Rambouillet framework.
