Suing the UN?


Sorry for the hiatus.

A recent article in the NYT mentioned that a group of victims of the Srebrenica massacre had attempted to sue the Netherlands and the UN for their failure in defending that "safe haven" from Bosnian Serb forces in 1995. A Dutch court found that they could not, noting further that, if sued, the UN would desist arming its peacekeeping missions worldwide. One does wonder how the UN, as a body, could be held accountable for its blunders. Or if it should.

On another note, the discussion of the roles of homosexual soldiers in the Srebrenica massacre is being appropriately mocked.
