The Netherlands has been ordered to pay compensation for the deaths of Bosnian Muslims in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in a ruling that opens up the Dutch state to compensation claims from relatives of the rest of the 8,000 men and youths who died. The judgment by Holland’s supreme court is the final decision in a protracted claim brought by relatives of three Muslim men who were expelled by Dutch soldiers from a United Nations compound during the Balkans conflict then killed by Bosnian Serb forces. Although the case related only to the murder of three victims, it confirms the precedent that countries that provide troops to UN missions can be held responsible for their conduct. The case was brought by Hasan Nuhanovic, an interpreter who lost his brother and father, and relatives of Rizo Mustafic, an electrician who was killed. They argued that all three men should have been protected by Dutch peacekeepers. Mustafic and Nuhanovic were employed by the Dutch, but Nuhanovic’s father and brother were not. The men were among thousands who had sought shelter in the UN compound as Bosnian Serb forces commanded by General Ratko Mladic overran the area on 11 July 1995. Two days later the outnumbered Dutch peacekeepers bowed to pressure from Mladic’s troops and forced thousands of Muslim families out of the compound. Bosnian Serb forces sorted the Muslims by gender, then began executing Muslim men and boys. The bodies of approximately 8,000 were buried in hastily dug mass graves. This has the potential to be a seriously big deal. (via thepennypost)

Nizozemska kriva za smrt trojice Bošnjaka u Srebrenici Dutchbat, nizozemski kontingent u sastavu UN-ovih snaga bio je 1995. zadužen štititi enklavu Srebrenicu, tada proglašenu "zaštićenom zonom" Nizozemska država odgovorna je za smrt trojice muslimana nakon pada Srebrenice tijekom rata u Bosni i Hercegovini, presudio je u utorak prizivni sud i time otvorio put za isplatu odšteta obiteljima žrtava. "Nizozemska država odgovorna je za smrt trojice muslimana nakon pada Srebrenice", priopćio je prizivni sud i time odbacio odluku prvostupanjskog suda u Den Haagu. Dutchbat, nizozemski kontingent u sastavu UN-ovih snaga bio je 1995. zadužen štititi enklavu Srebrenicu, tada proglašenu "zaštićenom zonom" i "nije smio predati te muškarce Srbima", ustvrdio je prizivni sud. Sudski proces protiv nizozemske države i zahtjev za odštetom podnijeli su lokalni prevoditelj koji je radio za nizozemske snage, čiji su otac i brat ubijeni, te rodbina električara koji je radio za Nizozemce, a ubijen je Srebrenici, piše Reuters. "Dutchbat je svjedočio brojnim izgredima u kojima su bosanski Srbi prema izbjeglim muškarcima izvan baze postupali nedopustivo ili ih ubijali. Nizozemci su stoga znali da su... muškarci u velikoj opasnosti ako napuste bazu" i time su prekršili nekoliko nacionalnih i međunarodnih sporazuma, obrazložio je sud. Kada su 11. srpnja 1995. godine snage bosanskih Srba osvojile Srebrenicu, slabo naoružani nizozemski vojnici u sastavu Plavih kaciga nisu pružili otpor. Vojska bosanskih Srba ubila je 8.000 muslimanskih muškaraca i dječaka čime je počinila najteži pokolj u Europi poslije Drugog svjetskog rata.
