Surviving relatives of Srebrenica have lodged a complaint ex. article 12 of the Dutch Code of Criminal Process, with the Appeals Court in Arnhem.

The complaint concerns the decision by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of 7 March 2013, not to initiate a criminal investigation and prosecution against the Dutchbat III-command for genocide, war crimes and murder committed during the fall of the Srebrenica-enclave in July 1995.
