![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The U.S., the E.U. and the U.N. focused on their own diplomatic initiatives and on efforts by former Tanzanian President JuliusNyerere to end the war rather than on accountability for human rights abuses connected with the conflict. At the end of 1997, the European Parliament called for an international arms embargo on all parties. The U.S. also favored the measure, but would not take the lead in proposing it. Although the U.S. and European governments expressed strong disapproval of the regroupment policy, they did not insist on prosecution of soldiers responsible for violations in connection with it. The U.S. government repeatedly expressed concern about massacres of civilians and the U.S. ambassador visited the scene of the airport massacre, but the U.S. gave nothing towards the U.N. Human Rights Center. Support from other nations has been limited, making it impossible for the center to mount a serious effort to monitor the situation. |
