Baker pushes for pressure on Serbia amid Balkan crisis
Secretary of State James Baker urged international pressure on Serbia to halt violence in Bosnia Herzegovina while leaving open the option of force as a last resort. He ruled out unilateral U.S. action and discussed possible UN Chapter 7 measures and multinational intervention to relieve Sarajevo and aid besieged Muslims. The administration pressed the EU for penalties on the Serbia-Montenegro federation and sought UN backing as numbers of dead and missing rose.

Bush orders return of Haitian refugees to Haiti
President Bush issued an executive order authorizing the Coast Guard to halt boats carrying Haitians and escort them back to Haiti. The move, taken from Kennebunkport while the Guantanamo Bay camp holds over 12,000 refugees, reverses a prior plan to stop only if vessels were sinking. Critics say the order breaches international law and endangers rights, while officials cite flooding as the motive and fear for Florida.
