Srebrenica massacre
July 11, 1995
In a UN-declared safe area in eastern Bosnia, Dutch peacekeepers stood by as Bosnian Serb forces under General Ratko Mladic separated men and boys from their families. Over a few days around eight thousand Muslim males were killed and bulldozed into mass graves. It was the worst massacre in Europe since the Second World War.
