Shaped by war, Bosnian leader chides UN inaction on Ukraine

Associated Press  

UNITED NATIONS — Bosnia’s leader decried the failure of the United Nations to prevent the war in Ukraine, saying Wednesday it was a chilling repeat of his country’s own brutal conflict three decades ago. The Security Council, he said, “is evidently unable to fulfill its obligations.” The Security Council’s post-World War II structure gives veto powers to five nations — the United States, China, Britain, France and Russia, the aggressor in the Ukraine war. Referencing the cease-fire resolution, Dzaferovic said: “Although this resolution does not have the power to stop the war, it does have the power to stop the lies.” The Bosnian War started 30 years ago, in 1992, when Bosnian Serbs, with the help of the Yugoslav army, tried to create ethnically pure territories with an aim of joining neighboring Serbia. The 1992-1995 war pitted Bosniaks, who are mostly Muslims, Serbs and Croats, against each other and ended with the U.S.- Deep tensions persist, but Dzaferovic, a Bosniak Muslim, said the nation was strong enough “to persevere” despite internal movements he called “part of the broad wave of right-wing populism in Europe.” Economic and energy crises, Dzaferovic said, go hand in hand with that populism, cautioning of dangerous modern-day echoes today of Nazism’s rhetoric of racial supremacy that led to war and, ultimately, the establishment of the United Nations based on the principle that all people are equal.
