The massacre was a disgusting thing and within Europe's borders at that, but what made it all the worst, was, it never should have happened. Fearing for their own lives, the small Dutch peacekeeping force protecting the city, left, thus allowing the Serbs to carry out this massacre.
Unfortunately, we've had many wars since, but what lessons could we learn from the break up of Yugoslavia, I thinking with a particular eye to Syria at the moment? Safe UN enclaves seem an excellent idea to me, to protect civilians in war torn countries, but to do this there needs to be political will and that seems very lacking from world leaders at the moment.
