Immigration Measures With Respect to United Nations Security Council Resolution 942

Proclamation 6749 of October 25, 1994

Immigration Measures With Respect to United
Nations Security Council Resolution 942

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

In light of the actions of the Bosnian Serb forces and
the authorities in the territory they control,
including their refusal to accept the proposed
territorial settlement of the conflict in the Republic
of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and of United Nations
Security Council Resolution 942 of September 23, 1994,
I have determined that it is in the interests of the
United States to restrict the entry to the United
States of all aliens described in paragraph 14 of
United Nations Security Council Resolution 942.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, acting under the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United
States, including sections 212(f) and 215 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended (8
U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185), and section 301 of title 3,
United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted
immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States
of aliens described in section 1 of this proclamation
would, except as provided for in section 2 of this
proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the
United States. I do therefore proclaim that:

Section 1. The immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into
the United States of aliens described in paragraph 14
of United Nations Security Council Resolution 942 is
hereby suspended. These aliens are: (a) members of the
authorities, including legislative authorities, in
those areas of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
under the control of Bosnian Serb forces; officers of
the Bosnian Serb military and paramilitary forces; and
those acting on behalf of such authorities or forces;

(b) persons found, after September 23, 1994, to
have provided financial, material, logistical,
military, or other tangible support to Bosnian Serb
forces in violation of relevant United Nations Security
Council resolutions; and
(c) persons in or resident in those areas of the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina under the control of
Bosnian Serb forces found to have violated or
contributed to the violation of the measures set out in
United Nations Security Council Resolution 820 of April
17, 1993, and United Nations Security Council
Resolution 942 of September 23, 1994.

Sec. 2. Section 1 shall not apply with respect to any
alien otherwise covered by section 1 where the entry of
such alien is in the interests of the United States,
including where such entry has been approved as
prescribed by paragraph 14 of United Nations Security
Council Resolution 942.

Sec. 3. Aliens covered by sections 1 and 2 shall be
identified pursuant to procedures established by the
Secretary of State, as authorized in section 5 below.

Sec. 4. This proclamation shall take effect at 11:59
p.m. eastern daylight time on October 25, 1994, and
shall remain in effect until such time as the Secretary
of State determines that it is no longer necessary and
should be terminated.

Sec. 5. The Secretary of State shall have
responsibility to implement this proclamation pursuant
to procedures that the Secretary may establish.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and nineteenth.

(Presidential Sig.)>
