The Hague Court of Appeal ruled that the Dutch government is partially responsible for the death in 1995 of about 300 Muslim men killed in Srebrenica.
According to the judge, the Dutch soldiers forced the refugees who were seeking shelter in their compound to leave the base, effectively handing them over to the executioners, "depriving them of the possibility of survival". In the Sebrenica massacre, considered the worst in Europe since World War II, 8 Muslims were killed by the Bosnian Serbs.
The Srebrenica massacre was a genocide that occurred during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995. Thousands of Bosnian Muslims were killed 11 July 1995 by Bosnian Serb troops led by General Ratko Mladic.
