Foreign diplomats consider an end to fight-, ing between Croats and government forces crucial to an overall peace settlement. The cease-fire, which takes effect at noon (6a.m. EST) Friday, covers central Bosnia and Mostar and other areas in the south where Muslims and Croats have fought since their alliance collapsed in April. "The U.N.

hopes and trusts that it will be respected and implemented by both sides, which is essential in this moment," said Yasu-shi Akashi, head of the United Nations mission in former Yugoslavia. Akashi participat- ed in the four hours of talks that produced the accord. The agreement is the most precise and serious of many cease-fire accords. Its signing came amid renewed efforts by the United Nations, NATO and especially the United States and Russia to bring peace to Bosnia Yeltsin's proposal, announced Tuesday, would build on the Russian initiative last week that persuaded Bosnian Serbs to with' draw heavy weapons from Sarajevo after NATO's ultimatum to do so or face airstrikes. The Russian initiative averted the strikes, and Yeltsin said Wednesday that Russia must not be left out of international security decisions.

The agreement came as diplomatic efforts to bring peace to all of Bosnia continued. ASSOCIATED PRESS ZAGREB, Croatia Under growing diplomatic pressure from the West, the military chiefs of Bosnia's Muslim-led government and Bosnia's Croats signed a truce Wednesday. Many truces in Bosnia have collapsed, but the accord between the former allies against Bosnia's Serbs is likely to gain strength from diplomatic efforts tq extend across Bosnia a NATO-enforced truce in Sarajevo.

The ruling cast a cloud over police interrogations that had produced prosecution evidence. Hill's wife, Courtney Kennedy-Hill, a daughter of the late Robert Kennedy, was at his side Wednesday as he walked into a Belfast court to challenge the 1975 sentence.

The two met at Trinity College in Dublin. Kennedy-Hill was accompanied by her mother, Ethel Kennedy. Her brother, U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy, was said to be traveling to Belfast Her aunt, Jean Kennedy Smith, is U.S.

ambassador to Ireland. Three of Ethel Kennedy's other daughters were also there Rory, a human rights campaigner, Kerry Kennedy Cuomo, daughter-in-law of New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a U.S. deputy assistant attorney general. Several human rights activists from Britain and America also were present to observe proceedings in which they say British justice is itself on trial.

Hill's lawyer, Tony Gifford, argued in his opening statement that police had threatened and abused him to extract a confession.
