GENOCIDE
In a historic ruling that could determine the fate of such defendants
as former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic, the UN war crimes court
in The Hague declared the 1995 massacre of Muslims in the Bosnian
town of Srebrenica a genocide.
The Canadian House of Commons, meanwhile, with 78 Liberal
backbenchers breaking ranks in support, approved a private member's
bill acknowledging the 1915 genocide of Armenians by the former
Ottoman Empire, angering NATO ally Turkey.
