I agree Itchy. It takes a cruelty and evil of a very special sort to shoot young boys in the head just because they are a different religion to yourself.

But we mustn't forget that this was a State-sponsored genocide.... the Serbian Parliament supported everything that those butchers did, and still do, even today.

Watch out for the indignant demonstrations in Belgrade today, when the Butcher is found guilty.
We should view both of these events with grave misgivings indeed. But will we learn the obvious lesson? That being, mass immigration of populations not indigenous to an area, whether encouraged by politicians and social engineers or not, against the will of the historic population will eventually lead to bloodshed and war. Particularly when a certain group, with an covert agenda that is the eventual domination, is involved?
^...and oddly enough it's so often that same certain group.

Togo.....There was no "mass immigration" of Muslims into Serbia. They have lived there, in various forms since the 14th Century.

Ditto with the Rohingya people. They have lived in the mainly Buddist state of Myanmar for centuries.
Former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic has been removed from court in The Hague after he shouted at judges reading his trial verdict over war crimes.

His expulsion happened after the judge rejected a request by his lawyer to adjourn the session on health grounds.
//with a covert agenda //
You missed that bit Mikey(I removed the random"n")Imams have been spreading a different sermon in recent years, funded and encouraged by Saudi Arabia, they now preach non integration into the local culture, and isolation rather than mutual cooperation. This obviously breeds resentment and fear, we would be wise to learn the lessons as I said. Virtue signalling ones worthiness and liberal(when it is convenient) intentions will not reduce the threat that we will all face. What was it Churchill said about feeding the crocodile? Something along the lines that it is done, by some, in the hope that they would be the last ones eaten by the crocodile.
Guilty on 10 of 11 counts, including Srebrenica. Life sentence.
// One of the worst aspects of this affair is how the world just stood by and let these genocides happen. //

The trouble is that whenever 'the world' actually does get involved in anything, it's accused of warmongering and surreptitious colonialism.
The UN were there as a peacekeeping force, but they were naïve and badly equipped and funded. Indeed, the UN International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, which was established in 1993 in the middle of the war, was charged with investigating and prosecuting war crimes and other crimes that had occurred and were occurring during the conflict. The UN has, often, subsequently been accused of rather than making positive attempts to stop the carnage on concentrating their resources and efforts into gathering evidence to prosecute the protagonists. They were at least successful there then, but at great cost to all concerned.
It would be interesting to read Andy Hughe's views on this one?

Justice has been done, at last, 23 years after the event.

If the Nuremberg trials had been enacted like this, the Nazis wouldn't have been found guilty until 1967.
Mass murder was committed (and of course there were massaces on all sides: Mostar was ethnically cleansed of Orthodox Christians by the Catholics and the Moslems before the latter two groups fought each other). Visiting Bosnia and seeing the deserted villages, the mass gravs and the bullet ridden buildinfs (left as they are as a reminder) brings it all home: a bit a much worse version of N Ireland but with three religions instead of two, three lots of flags (at least), two languages and two different orthographies. There is no place for any sort of justification on any grounds, so far as I can see.
On a recent radio programme a forensic pathologist was being interviewed about the war crimes in the Balkans. Her job was to inspect bodies from mass graves.
She was accompanied by the chief of police on one of the inspections. He lost it when there was a dead child in red shoes, the same as his daughter's.
Evidently, the Serbs separated the women from the children, the mothers were put in the middle of a field. The children at the edge were allowed to run to their mothers. The Serbs then used the kids for target practice.
There's hundreds of war criminals out there that should be brought to justice!

Melv....I agree, 100%.

But how much better it would have been if the UN had done it job properly, and stopped most of the mass murders from happening in the first place ?

Talbot....as usual, your comments are ill thought out, but....no great surprise there I suppose.

The UN should be holding their heads in shame as well.
