Bosnian Serbs admit to Srebrenica
Edited on Fri Jun-11-04 03:12 PM by jayfish


<SNIP>
An official Bosnian Serb investigation into the Srebrenica events of July 1995 has found that several thousand Muslims were murdered by local Serb forces.

It is the first time the Bosnian Serb authorities have admitted the killings which The Hague war crimes tribunal has declared an act of genocide.

The seven-member commission, which includes one international and one Muslim member, was set up amid pressure from Bosnia's internationally-run human rights chamber, which ordered the Serb authorities to investigate what happened.

1. Srebrenica ... where the UN failed
Dutch troops under the blue helmet stood to the side and let it happen. They had little choice because they decided it wasn't worth their own blood and higher ups weren't sending reinforcements.

2. This wouldn't have happened under Tito.
It's a shame that so many retrograde nationalisms were deliberately stoked by Western powers as a means to destroy Yugoslavia.

Two American heroes who stood up against Republican opposition and stopped the genocide in Kosovo.
