RUSSIAN PEACEKEEPERS WON’T PURSUE ACCUSED WAR CRIMINALS.

Russia’s representative to the UN told the General Assembly yesterday that Russia’s peacekeeping troops in Bosnia will not take part in any armed operations aimed at detaining accused war criminals. The diplomat repeated past Russian arguments that any such actions would only exacerbate tensions in the region and reiterated Moscow’s contention that the mandate of the multinational force in Bosnia does not include police functions.
