Summary

In the Summer of 1995, Bosnian Serbs massacred thousands of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica, which the United Nations had declared a safe haven and had promised to protect. An international investigation into this tragedy revealed that the UN may deserve some blame for having failed to prevent this massacre. 'Part 2' of the two-part program documents the actual siege of Srebrenica and the failure of UN forces to protect this safe haven as they had promised to do. The program includes additional dramatic footage from the film Safe Haven, attesting to the systematic 'rounding up, expulsion, and deliberate and planned execution' of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica. It also includes a discussion among host Charlayne Hunter-Gault, Former Ambassador Robert Gallucci, and Newsday reporter Roy Gutman about the role of morality in governmental decision making, the ineffectiveness of the UN in dealing with internal national conflicts, and the need for timely intelligence and swift intervention by the U.S. and other nations to prevent heinous human rights violations and ensure global stability
