A Dutch court has ruled that it has no jurisdiction in a civil suit against the United Nations.
Relatives and survivors of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia launched the suit, in a bid to hold the UN partly responsible for the mass murder of 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys. Dutch peacekeepers, assigned to the UN, were responsible for security at the enclave, when Serb forces arrived and ordered the separation of the victims from their families, before killing them. The Dutch ruling upholds the UN's immunity from prosecution in national courts.
