Of course, there's absolutely no difference between women and children and listed, armed combatants in law or during a civil war. They're just one and the same. Why bother with the small details or the opinions of the dissenting judges? The Krstic ruling goes to show how far the politicized judges at the ICTY redefined 'genocide' to fit the result they wanted on very narrow, sloppy and poor legal grounds.

I repeat and I gave the source, that many of those 'men and boys' were officially soldiers within the ArBiH - they were not added 'afterwards' so your 'information' is totally irrelevant or is it now legally accepted to call yourself a soldier if you are a civilian and a civilian if you are a soldier.
You can only have one status, not both.
That most prestigious court, the ICTY, is such a stunning success that the new permanent criminal court at the UN, the International Criminal Court (ICC) bares almost no resemblance - clearly the powers that be would not want to be judged by the same low standards as applied in the policizied and 'interestingly' funded ICTY who's remit expressly excludes actors from outside of the former yugoslavia - you know, those countries who were providing weapons and other forms of support. How convenient again.
As for the ICJ, they may well as have ruled that the United States is guilty for not having prevented genocide in Rwanda in 1994 (Clinton studiously avoided the term) when it had the means and power to do so - both the US and UK, at the level of the United Nations Security Council refused to supply airlift capacity to a number of states who wanted to intervene.
And here you are moaning that B92 doesn't say what you want it to say because it doesn't match you opinion. Get used to it. It's no different that the BBC & the armenians.
