Default Holland to Pay Compensation to Families of Murdered Srebrenica Men

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1097...rebrenica.html

Quote:
A court on Wednesday ordered the Netherlands to compensate the families of more than 300 men turned over to Bosnian Serb forces and later killed in the Srebrenica massacre 19 years ago, but cleared the nation of liability in the deaths of the most of the 8,000 Bosnian Muslims killed.

A district court in The Hague said Dutch peacekeepers in Srebrenica, a Bosnian Muslim enclave in Bosnian Serb-held territory, could have known that the 300 men who had sought refuge in their base in the village of Potocari would be murdered if deported from the Dutch compound.

The court said the Netherlands was not liable for the deaths of those who had fled into the forests surrounding Srebrenica, where many of the men and boys were later buried in mass graves.

This is, in my opinion, ridiculous.
