"But Unprofor's lack of authority had another effect. As the indictment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia against the Bosniak commander, Naser Oric, points out, he and individuals under his command used the "safe area" of Srebrenica as a base from which to launch attacks against nearby Serb villages.

While there are differing numbers about how many Serbs died in these raids, what seems incontrovertible is that war crimes were committed, people were killed and badly mistreated, and ethnic cleansing of Serb villagers took place. The Unprofor battalion in Srebrenica was unwilling or unable to stop these attacks, which were the equivalent of waving a red flag at a bull."

As I said, some inconvenient facts.

From your same source:

In no way does it diminish the guilt or responsibility of those who methodically organized and ruthlessly carried out the massacre

Regardless of what Naser Oric did to other Serbs, it does not justify the Serbs murdering 7,000 people at Srebrenica. F-Lib, ethnicity-based morality is anything but moral.
