GENOCIDE CARTOONS: HASAN FAZLIC-BOSNIEN&HERZEGOVINA
Srebrenica 13 years later: still no justice
On July 10—one day before the 13th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre—a
Dutch court ruled it has no jurisdiction in a civil suit against the United Nations
by the genocide survivors from the eastern Bosnian town.
Survivors’ association Mothers of Srebrenica is seeking compensation
for the failure of Dutch UN troops to prevent the 1995 massacre
of some 8,000 civilians in the so-called “safe area.
“The Hague District Court found the UN’s “absolute immunity”
means it cannot be held liable in any country’s national court.
