Bosnians Betrayed by World Court

The World Court recently ruled that Serbia could not be held responsible for genocide in the Bosnian community of Srebrenica, even though the court itself had concluded that genocide had occurred in Srebrenica in 1995 during a series of wars waged by former Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic against Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo in the former Yugoslavia. In a paper delivered recently at an international conference in Sarajevo, Wittenberg Professor of Sociology Keith Doubt called the ruling "disheartening" and said it "consummates a long history of betrayal that the people of Bosnia have suffered."
