Dutch peacekeepers give up Srebrenica law suit
More than 200 former Dutch UN peacekeepers have decided not to continue with their law suit against the Netherlands government over the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia-Herzegovina, lawyers for the peacekeepers.
The 230 former peacekeepers sued the Dutch government in 2017, demanding at least 22,000 Euro compensation each, claiming they had been traumatized and socially ostracised following the Srebrenica genocide. The Dutch troops were deployed in the Srebrenica area which the >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << UN declared a safe area when it was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces.
We are convinced that our law suit went in the right direction and we are abandoning it, one of the lawyers told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. The decision to give up the law suit comes after Defence Minister Ank Bijleveld said earlier this year that an investigation would be opened into the traumas suffered by the peacekeepers.
A court in the Netherlands ruled in 2017 that the Dutch government was partly responsible for the death of 350 Bosnian Moslems in Srebrenica.
