DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: A look at CNN's 20th anniversary. (</s>BEGIN VIDEOTAPE, MAY 19, 1992) NIK GOWING, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Some 12,000 of the U.N.'s 14,000 multinational peacekeeping forces have now been deployed in and around three Serbian enclaves inside Croatia almost a year after the Yugoslav bloodletting began and three months after the U.S. Security Council agreed the limited peacekeeping mandate. There is a political determination by Western countries to make the U.N. force work, but the troops cannot keep a peace if there is no peace to keep. Not one of the four criteria for a successful peacekeeping operation now exists in practice. While some sources hint grimly that withdrawal may soon loom as the most practical option, the official line is to keep going, at least for the moment. Meanwhile, there is a second international crisis of desperate proportions. There are now at least 1.4 million refugees seeking sanctuary from the fighting, the ethnic terror, the massacres, and the indiscriminant slaughter. It is a massive tragedy of the dispossessed, which is unfolding on European soil. Of the almost 1.4 million refugees, in Croatia alone, 500,000 people are displaced; in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the figure is 600,000 driven out by the first month of fighting; in Serbia, 260,000. The United Nations put the rate at 20,000 new refugees each day. And the refugees have few places to go on Yugoslav soil.
