As a Canadian based human rights organization, the Institute for Research of Genocide, Canada is deeply concerned about Michael Dobbs’ blatant justification of the genocide committed by the Serbs on the Bosniak population during the 1992 to 1995 conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In his blog entry, “In Defense of the Serbs.” Mr. Dobbs legitimizes the aggression and genocide committed by Serbs by using the minority rights argument, completely disregarding the fact that the rise of Serb ultra-nationalism and the plan to divide Bosnia and Herzegovina down the middle between Croatia and Serbia were the real reasons for the aggression and genocide committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fact that Mr. Dobbs defends the Serbs, it demonstrates that there he has no respect for the victims of genocide and he is clearly not informed about the rise in Serb nationalism in the region.
Letter of the Institute for Research of Genocide, Canada to the Editor: Foreign Policy Magazine should reject Dobbs’ views on the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina
