§ Lord Monsonasked Her Majesty's Government:
What information they have as to the approximate number of Muslim women raped, and men and children massacred following the fall of the United Nations safe haven of Srebrenica to Serb forces, and whether the United Nations monitors stationed on each Serb truck carrying civilians expelled from Srebrenica were able to prevent any such atrocities.
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyJudge Goldstone, the prosecutor of the International War Crime Tribunal for former Yugoslavia, has said that his representatives are investigating reports of atrocities committed by the Bosnian Serbs in Srebrenica and will be reporting their findings. We await the results of their report.
We are aware of media reports relating to UN soldiers accompanying the Bosnian Muslim civilians from Srebrenica but are not able to confirm whether their presence did prevent atrocities.
