RESOLUTION RESOLUTION ON CHECHNYA The Baltic Assembly, realizing that the Russian Federation has ignored all international calls for putting a stop to the murderous war and genocide in Chechnya by its forces and is in effect trying to use international organizations to cover up its actions in Chechnya and to organize mock elections there, resolutely condemns aggression in Chechnya which " no matter under what guise it takes place " may end with the physical extermination of a small nation, appeals to the OSCE and other international organizations to consider it their moral duty to make every effort to stop the war and genocide in Chechnya immediately. Furthermore, the Baltic Assembly calls on the Russian Federation to halt the genocide of the people of Chechnya and to withdraw its army and militarized police forces from the territory of Chechnya and appeals to the OSCE to raise the issue in the UN of the right of the Chechen nation to self- determination and to freedom from colonialism.
