UN opens Srebrenica trial 11 years after massacre

Judges at the UN Yugoslav tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, today began the latest – and largest – trial of military officers blamed for the summary execution of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica 11 years ago.

Charges of genocide make the case against the seven former Bosnian Serb officers one of the most important in the tribunal’s history.
