Writ of summons - Van Diepen Van der Kroef

population: medical matters (Dutchbat III en de bevolking: medische aangelegenheden),D.C.L. Schoonoord). Despite this, Pilav’s request for help to Dutchbat was refused.152. Another distressing example concerns a seriously injured woman with stomach and legwounds resulting from grenade fragments, who requested medical assistance on 11 July1995 around 15.00 hours. Dutchbat medics gave no treatment but only morphinebecause the supply position of the drugs was the decisive factor. Then the injuredwoman was referred to the hospital in Srebrenica, this being ‘the humanitarianconsideration to allow the woman to die in her own surroundings’ (see page 263 of theSummary of the NIOD Report).153. Another example concerned a man who had lost his arm on 12 July 1995 and fromDutchbat learned that he did not qualify to be placed on the casualty list. Other seriouslyinjured persons met the same fate (see pages 2678 and 2679 of the NIOD Report).154. Dutchbat did in the light of (its own assessment of) its own best interests exactly theopposite of what it was ordered, as set out in the order of General Gobilliard of 11 July1995. Instead of the provision of humanitarian relief and medical assistance,consideration was paid exclusively to its own position. That attitude is to be regarded aseven more blameworthy given that there were no Dutch casualties to mourn.Surrender of the remaining observation posts (OPs)155. After the fall of the enclave there were still seven OPs crewed by Dutchbat, namely,OP-A, OP-C, OP-M, OP-N, OP-P, OP-Q and OP-R. Dutchbat received the order on 11July 1995 to leave all the observation posts and to centre their forces in Potoćari, as wellas to take all possible measures to protect the refugees. This order would also not befollowed (as will be discussed below). Instead of withdrawing to the compound andthere employing every means to protect the refugees, developments were awaited at theOPs (see page 2624 of the NIOD Report). The clearance of the remaining OPs will bediscussed in brief below. The number of Dutchbat soldiers who would fall into the handsof the VRS during these activities would eventually rise to 55 (see page 2251 of the© Van Diepen Van der Kroef Advocaten 2007www.vandiepen.com73
