Ten members of the group Mothers of Srebrenica ask a civilian court in The Hague to waive the UN’s immunity from prosecution.
The group, which represents 6,000 relatives of the victims, says the UN and the Dutch state are in part responsible for the deaths of 8,000 Bosnian-Muslim men and boys in July 1995 since Srebrenica was a “safe area” under UN protection.
The women are demanding that the court in The Hague recognise the failure of the UN to protect the men and boys, and that the victims’ families receive compensation of 25,000 Euros.
The news program Tagesschau from the first German public TV broadcaster ARD is producing a reportage about the start of the trial.
For this news reportage Featurez did the research, set-up, planning, accompanied the filming, the live stand-up, the editing and the transfer of the video material via satellite.
