The only crime bigger than the war crime is the post war one, for which the aggressor is absolved. Let there be no doubt, Serbia is guilt as sin of the massacre at Srebrenica. The only reason the ICJ failed to convict is because it lacked ironclad evidence yeehhh. One must ask, who committed the greater crime—the perpetrators Serbian murderers or International Community those who ignore it and enable such aggression.

The ICJ is pretty much a useless institution and the sooner we are rid of it, the better. Genocide is not a crime like shoplifting, or even simple first-degree murder. Genocide is not a matter for a protracted criminal trial by an organization that can barely utter the word “genocide” while hundreds of thousands and butchered in Darfur and Somalia and Rwanda and Iraq. The UN has demonstrated quite amply that it can not be trusted with anyone’s protection, much less justice. It is an affront against all of humanity and it demands action. Unfortunately, that is something the UN can not, and can never, deliver.

Do you remember Slobodan Milosevic? He was on trail for genocide when he died in custody. His trial had been going on for four years which is longer than the genocide he actually committed. How about General Radko Mladic? He directly supervised the slaughter at Srebrenica and was indicted for it twelve years ago. He is known to be in Serbia, but the Serbians have contended that they’ve simply been unable to arrest him in all that time. The ICJ is just now getting around to demanding that Serbia find him and remand him to their war crimes tribunal.

From my point of view, the UN could have made a decisive statement that it would no longer tolerate genocide but it didn’t. It looked into the face of evil, blinked, and babbled in bureaucratic impotence.
