https://www.yahoo.com/news/top-serbian-security-officials-convicted-170616591.htmlA United Nations court on Wednesday convicted two wartime Serbian State Security officials for aiding and abetting war crimes committed by Serbian paramilitaries during Bosnia and Herzegovina's 1992–95 war, AP reports.
Why it matters: This is the final UN trial at The Hague for crimes committed during the breakup of Yugoslavia. It's the first time that high-ranking wartime Serbian government officials have been convicted for crimes committed in Bosnia, per the New York Times.
But the sentence is absurd:
State of play: Jovica Stanisic, the former head of Serbian State Security, and Franko Simatovic, his former deputy, were each sentenced to 12 years in prison for helping to ethnically cleanse non-Serbs from the Bosnian town of Bosanski Samac.
12 years?! It's OK to be Serbian?
And no mention of giving back the town to Bosnia? This is why the UN is useless and only using WMDs on Serbia will work.
