The UN declared a safe zone, then failed to protect it. There were Dutch troops located there, who were charged with defending the town, who failed. And the UN then declared it a tragedy and a genocide, completely ignoring their own fault. Yes, it was terrible and the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) under the command of General Ratko Mladić should have been punished. But the UN needed to take responsibility. They needed to analyze how this was allowed to happen, and take steps so that similar massacres get prevented. Through today, UN safe zones and refugee camps are points of attack in war zones. We have seen this in Srebrenica, in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and Syria, in the Congo War….it keeps happening, and it keeps being called “tragedy” not “preventable.”
