Appeals Court Finds Netherlands Partially Liable for Srebrenica Massacre
The ruling by the Hague Appeals Court upholds a lower court’s decision three years ago.
The Hague Appeals Court ruled Tuesday that the Netherlands was partly responsible for the deaths of 350 Bosnian Muslim males during the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, upholding a lower-court ruling from 2014.
But Tuesday’s decision differed from the one three years ago in the Dutch state was liable for 30 percent of the losses suffered by the families of those men who were killed. It said the Dutch U.N. peacekeepers should have given the men a chance to remain inside their compound.
