In the Srebrenica massacre, Serbian troops committed genocide against Bosniaks, although Srebrenica had been declared a UN “safe area” and was even “protected” by 400 armed Dutch peacekeepers.
A 14:9 safe area is often chosen as a compromise between 4:3 and 16:9 frame formats.
The Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was requested to use all resources available to restore the "safe area" status of Srebrenica.
