On Monday, the world community marked the 10th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre when 8,000 Muslim men and boys were slaughtered by Bosnian Serbians. The killing marked Europe’s worst atrocity since World War II. The Muslims were massacred after being taken from what was supposed to be a UN protected 'safe area'. Mark Brown, special envoy of Kofi Annan, read a personal message from the Secretary General. The alleged perpetrators — wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his military commander, Ratko Mladic, have been indicted for genocide by the UN tribunal at The Hague but remain at large somewhere in the former Yugoslavia.
