United Nations Security Council resolution 757 was adopted on 30 May 1992. After reaffirming resolutions 713 (1991), 721 (1991), 724 (1991), 727 (1992), 740 (1992) 743 (1992), 749 (1992) and 752 (1992), the Council disapproved the failure of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) to carry out Resolution 752.

The resolution stated that until Resolution 752 was carried out, all UN Member States should:[1][2]

(a) stop the import of all products from Yugoslavia;
(b) stop the sale of all products to Yugoslavia, except for humanitarian aid;
(c) not make any financial resources available to Yugoslavia;
(d) not allow permission to aircraft to take of from, land or fly over their country if the aircraft is heading to or coming from Yugoslavia, except on humanitarian grounds;
(e) not allow the maintenance or engineering of aircraft in or operated by Yugoslavia;
(f) lower the number of diplomatic and consular staff in Yugoslavia;
(g) not allow the participation of people and teams representing Yugoslavia in sporting events hosted in their countries;
(h) suspend scientific, technical and cultural exchanges and visits.

The Council also decided that the sanctions should not apply to the United Nations Protection Force, the Conference on Yugoslavia or European Community Monitoring Mission. It also called for a security zone to be set up in Sarajevo and its airport, and for the security council committee created in Resolution 724 to monitor the arms embargo in Yugoslavia.

Resolution 757 was adopted by 13 votes to none against, with two abstentions from China and Zimbabwe.

Sports sanctions

Association football

The Yugoslavia national football team had qualified for the Euro 1992 finals, but were disqualified under the UN sanctions. They were replaced by Denmark, who had finished behind Yugoslavia in qualifying, and would win the tournament against Germany.[3][4] Yugoslavia were also banned from both the 1994 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1996.[5][6]

Olympics

The International Olympic Committee reached a compromise with the UN about Yugoslavia's participation at the 1992 Summer Olympics. The Yugoslav Olympic Committee would not invited to the games, but Yugoslav athletes were allowed to compete under the label of Independent Olympic Participants. This was also done with the 1992 Summer Paralympics, where Yugoslav athletes competed as Independent Paralympic Participants.[7][8]
