Srebrenica – A Broken Mirror of the United Nations

Summary/Abstract: The Bosniacs, through the centuries, have been facing the fact that they must not rely on the foreign corrupted and cruel power, but that they have to make their own destiny themselves. Unfortunetly, Mladic‘s oath for revenge to the Turkish governors45 became the bloody way for resolving problems. The extreme brutality belongs to such kind of tradition. In the modern history, as nowhere else, but in Europe for sure, the UN with all its bureaucracy, not small, mammoth machinery, have experienced the humiliation and disgrace in Srebrenica like nowhere else. All principles were buried in Srebrenica, such as the so-called Western democracy, all the charters and resolutions stepped over and betrayed, starting from the UN Charter to the Helsinki Conventions, Paris Principles, Hague Decisions and Tribunals, Geneva Conventions... Maastricht was buried in Srebrenica or at least those principles on which the EU wants to build its future. All the curtains have fallen and all the hopes of those who believed in the new international order, human rights and freedoms, basis of the western civilization and culture have disappeared. Old, arrogant, European politics of neocolonialism in Srebrenica has shown its real face. The states which provided the troops for UNPROFOR did not want to engage in protection of Srebrenica – UN “safe zone”, because they needed to take over the combat role and defend it if the Serbs attacked the “safe zones”, and not only to ”supervise” the humanitarian situation. After the Resolution 819 was adopted, unfortunaetly, many people in BiH and other countries believed that the UN would from that moment protect the civilians in Srebrenica from the Serbs. The sufferings of the people from Srebrenica in the previous war have been tried to be hidden by many. As the example of covering the war crimes over Sarajevo, Vukovar and Srebrenica Greece distinguishes itself. Its intelligence and journalists consider the success that the crime was hidden, but that only means that they are not the intelligence and journalists, but ordinary propagandists.46 Although almost all suggestions of the peace plans: Kutiljer’s (March 1992.), Vens-Owens (April 1993.): Oven-Stotelbergs (September 1993.): Washington-Wiena (May 1994.): Contact Group (July 1994): and so on, treated Srebrenica as the territory with the majority of Bosniacs population, which it really was, the international community allowed its sufferings. To prevent the spread of the hatred among the peoples is very important. It is even harder than to control the armaments. It is the basic assumption for the peace and security development in the area of the Western Balkans. Out of many diffi culties, in this view, the special attention needs to be paid to how to explain the children where the dozens of Bosniacs from Srebrenica, whose every trace is lost, are?
