	ireland.com - Breaking News - Bosnia angered by Dutch medal awards
		The Bosnian government has been angered over yesterday's decision by the Dutch defence minister to award medals to soldiers whose withdrawal from the UN enclave of Srebrenica in 1995 led to the massacre of 8,000 Muslims.
		The Dutch government led by Wim Kok resigned in 2002 after a report on the massacre blamed politicians for sending the Dutch UN troops on an impossible mission.
		But the lightly armed Dutch soldiers, lacking air support, were forced to abandon the enclave to Bosnian Serb forces, who took away and massacred some 8,000 Muslim men and boys relying on the protection of the Dutch troops.

		Horan strongly emphasized the need for Dutch co-operation in the defence of the Pacific and therefore stressed the importance of Dutch naval representation at the ensuing Pacific Defence Conference, which was planned to take place in Wellington from 14 to 16 April 1939 [16].
		At the specific request of the Dutch, the visit was to be as low-key as possible, and the Commission was to be referred to in public as an Industrial Research Commission [28].
		For reasons of British foreign policy, not wanting to give the Dutch a unilateral guarantee without the backing of the US, it was impossible for Australia to give the Dutch a similar guarantee; but the former would, out of self-interest, do their best to provide weapons and munitions to the NEI [41].

	Defence asks Dutch court to dismiss Iraqi genocide trial of chemicals trader
		In their closing argument Friday his defence lawyers argued that the Dutch court had to dismiss the case because a trial against the alleged principal perpetrators of the crimes, like Saddam Hussein, was ongoing in Iraq.
		The defence also said the prosecution violated the equality principles in Dutch law because it was only prosecuting van Anraat and not one of his Dutch business partners.
		Under Dutch law suspects of war crimes, torture and genocide can be tried in the Netherlands even if the crimes were not committed on Dutch soil as long as the suspects reside here.

	The Hindu : It's Italian defence versus Dutch flair

		The Dutch Army Air Force had about five bomber, three fighter and two observation squadrons in Java, all of which had played their full part in action against the enemy in Malaya, Sumatra or the outlying islands since the outbreak of war, and were in consequence much under strength.

		The Dutch planned to use a KNIL reserve regiment which had been withdrawn from Buitenzorg for a second attack on the 3rd, but when it was about twenty miles short of its objective it was heavily attacked by aircraft from Kalidjati airfield.
