LETTER:Withdrawal of United Nations peace-keepers would lead to carnage in Bosnia
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Vlada Vjestica
Sir: Bravo, Michael Sheridan ("Will it be Russia v America next?", 29 May). The responsibility for the deepening crisis in Bosnia lies with an American administration (supported by Germany) that has continually made a hypocrisy of the principles by which the United Nations stands.
The most recent example was the Croatian military action of four weeks ago, which directly violated the laws of war and the UN protected area of Western Slavonia. Not a word of condemnation from the State Department. No threat from the Security Council of possible Nato air strikes. A verbal reprimand issued on behalf of the EU.
Unless there is a redefinition of the UN presence in former Yugoslavia - an impartial body operating on a humanitarian basis - there will be no way out of the present impasse.
Yours sincerely
