NATO started its operation of the no-fly zone enforcement over Bosnia-Herzegovina at 12 o'clock GMT following the information which NATO Secretary General Manfred W"rner sent last Friday in a letter to the UN Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali. NATO's action is being undertaken under the authority of UN Security Council Resolution 816 and has been decided by the North Atlantic Council at its meeting on April 8th 1993.
SACEUR has directed the commanders concerned - CINCSOUTH and Commander 5 ATAF - to take the necessary action. In the initial phase aircraft of France, the Netherlands and the US are involved in the operation in addition to the NATO AWACS planes.
NATO's action in support of the UN follows NATO's decision - set out by the NAC Ministerials in Oslo in June 1992 and in Brussels in December 1992 - to support on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with NATO's own procedures peacekeeping operations under the authority of the UN.
