Srebrenica was already an unmentionable subject at UN headquarters in New York City. Within the broader international diplomatic family talk about it reflected unease, as if speaking of a disgraced relative. However, it is not Srebrenica that should bear the shame.

Even in Sarajevo, any talk of Srebrenica was taboo. Only two years after Dayton, the foreign policy of Bosnia & Herzegovina was no longer its own. So when Bianca Jagger asked me, as Bosnia & Herzegovina's Ambassador before the United Nations, to formally call for a UN investigation, I knew that this effort would quickly be buried, unless a strategy could be formulated to bring it out from the cloak of diplomatic suffocation.
