Suing The Peacekeepers
This is just great. "Relatives of victims of Europe's bloodiest post-war massacre are to sue the United Nations and the Dutch government for £370 million."
Overlawyered sums this situation up perfectly: Since no adequate recovery is to be had from Bosnian Serb war criminals for the Srebrenica massacre, reparations lawyers now wish to extract money from the well-meaning neutrals and noncombatants whose bungling efforts failed to prevent it. That should provide a good incentive for anyone to volunteer as peacekeepers in future, no?
