Serbia ordered to hand over genocide suspects
The United Nations’ highest court today exonerated Serbia of direct responsibility for, or complicity in, genocide during the 1992/95 Bosnia war, but did rule that Serbia failed to prevent the mass slaughter of Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica.
In a lengthy ruling, the International Court of Justice said the leaders of Serbia also failed to comply with its international obligation to punish those who carried out the genocide in July 1995, and ordered Belgrade to hand over suspects for trial by a separate UN court.
