Denouncing Serbian Tilt, U.S. Boycotts U.N. Meeting

A United Nations meeting that consisted of a General Assembly debate and panel discussion was organized by the UN General Assembly President on last Wednesday, April 3rd. Other nations, such as the United States, Canada, and Japan, were invited to this event that was organized to discuss international criminal justice. The keynote speaker was the President of Serbia, rather than the victims of such cruel and inhumanity behavior, which is why the U.S.and Jordan boycotted the meeting. As a coincidence, the Yugoslavian Tribunal indicted those against Serbs for the crime committed during the War between Bosnia Muslims, Croatia, and Serbia, 25 are still on trial. Was this meeting really about international criminal justice, or about meeting ends for the Serbian nation?
