ICJ ruling Serbia is not responsible for massacre angers Bosnians
By: Mohamed Ali
THE HAGUE, Netherlands: The International Court of
Justice's decision to clear Serbia of genocide in Bosnia has angered
Bosnian Muslim and Croat leaders and ended their efforts to win
reparations over the killing of about 7,000 Muslim men and boys in
Srebrenica, while Serbs have expressed relief at the verdict.
The United Nations' highest court ruled this week that Serbia failed
to prevent the massacre of Muslims during the Bosnian war but was not
directly responsible for the atrocities.
The ruling ended a landmark case in which an entire nation was tried
for committing genocide.
The decision, closely watched by countries facing allegations of war
crimes, was viewed by Serbia as a vindication for its role in the
1992-95 war.
The killings in Srebrenica were the worst massacre in Europe since
World War II. The town had been declared a safe haven by UN
peacekeepers until it was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995.
