#1 Just the phrase "U.N. court" is chilling.

#3 Ironic this is tried in a UN court when the UN was an accessory to the horrific crime.

The wiki entry sums it up well. I believe I saw a frontline special with video of the Dutch troops submitting after they had consulted with top UN officials about the situation.

The UN lured the poor bastards into a trap for the serbs. "UN safe zone" for genocidal murderers.

The United Nations had previously declared Srebrenica a UN protected "safe area", but they did not prevent the massacre, even though 400 armed Dutch peacekeepers were present at the time.[7] The massacre included several instances where preteen children and women were also killed.[8] The list of people missing or killed in Srebrenica compiled by the Federal Commission of Missing Persons so far includes 8,373 names.[9]

#6 Okay, one last attempt.

I meant to say, Like Hotel Rwanda, it is a scathing indictment of UN "Peace keeping".
