Ratko Mladić's death raises fresh questions about preparations for the Srebrenica attack

Summary

Former International Criminal Tribunal prosecutor Geoffrey Nice said that Ratko Mladić's death leaves unanswered how he knew he could enter the protected UN zone of Srebrenica on 10-11 July 1995 and commit the crimes he carried out. Nice cites publicly available evidence of a secret agreement among French, British and American leaders not to use air power to defend the enclave before the attack, undisclosed to Dutch troops or Bosniak civilians, and raises the question whether Mladić obtained that information from someone in the West or by other means.
