perchè Srebrenica non è stata difesa dall'Onu? intendo nei giorni precedenti il massacro

comprensibile, ma dare loro un supporto, un appoggio aereo?
non conosco bene le vicende , ma se l'area era già sotto il controllo ONU, andare in aiuto dei soldati della coalizione di pace non sarebbe dovuto essere impossibile.
non c'era forse la volontà per farlo?

Dutch state 'responsible for three Srebrenica deaths'
A court in the Netherlands has ruled the Dutch state was responsible for the deaths of three Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) during the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia.
The Dutch were in charge of the UN "safe area" in July 1995 when Bosnian Serb forces overran it and killed 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys.
The Dutch government has always said its troops were abandoned by the UN.
The ruling was unexpected, and may open the way for other compensation claims.
"The court ruled that the Dutch state is responsible for the death of these men because Dutchbat [Dutch UN troops] should not have handed them over," a spokeswoman for the court in The Hague said.
The appeals court's judges have ordered the government to pay compensation to the dead men's relatives.
It was a complete surprise verdict for both the plaintiffs, their lawyers and the prosecutor, the Dutch state, says the BBC's Lauren Comiteau at the court in The Hague.
The court said that even though Dutchbat was working under the UN after the fall of Srebrenica, in the situation which they called an extraordinary situation, the Dutch government became more involved with Dutchbat and the evacuation, and in that sense they were responsible, our correspondent says.
A court had previously ruled in 2008 that the Dutch state was not responsible for the deaths of Bosnian Dutchbat employees and their families because the soldiers were operating under a UN mandate.
The Srebrenica massacre remains a sensitive issue in the Netherlands, correspondents say; in 2002, the government fell after an official report was heavily critical of Dutch actions when the killings took place.
The Dutch state, which has faced several cases in recent years over Srebrenica, has always argued that it was let down by the UN, which failed to give its troops sufficient support.
Handed over
The case was brought by relatives of Rizo Mustafic, who worked as an electrician for Dutchbat, and by Dutchbat interpreter Hasan Nuhanovic, who lost his father and brother in the fall of the Muslim enclave.
They filed a lawsuit against the Dutch state because Dutchbat handed over their relatives to the Bosnian Serbs, who were then under the command of Gen Ratko Mladic.
The two men had sought refuge at the Dutchbat headquarters. Mr Mustafic was forced to leave and was separated from his wife just outside the compound fence and taken away, and was never heard of again.
Hasan Nuhanovic was allowed to stay, but his relatives were forced to leave. The remains of his father and brother were recovered in 2007 and 2010.
The court ruled that Dutchbat, which abandoned the enclave in the face of a superior Bosnian Serb force, should have foreseen that Gen Mladic's soldiers would kill the men.
The court said Dutchbat had witnessed the abuse and execution of Muslim men at the hands of Bosnian Serb forces.
The three men were the last of a group of 5,000 men who had sought refuge in the Dutch compound.
Gen Mladic is currently on trial in The Hague, charged on 11 counts including genocide of Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats in Bosnia-Hercegovina and Srebrenica during the Bosnian war.
