Srebrenica families ask pan-Europe court to try Dutch commanders

The lawyer of the families of three Bosnian Muslims who were killed after leaving UN protection in 1995 announced on 25 October 2015 they had asked the European Court of Human Rights to prosecute three ex-UN commanders for their deaths.

The move came after a Dutch appeals court ruled in April 2015 that Dutch Battalion ('Dutchbat') commander Thom Karremans, his deputy Rob Franken and personnel officer Berend Oosterveen should not be prosecuted.
