Remko de Bruijne
Remko de Bruijne is a former Dutch peacekeeping soldier who served in Srebrenica during the Bosnian War. He is known for his harrowing experiences as part of the UN forces that faced the overwhelming assault by Bosnian Serb troops in July 1995, which led to the Srebrenica massacre. De Bruijne's account includes a desperate plea for military assistance that went unanswered, highlighting the tragic limitations of the peacekeeping mandate. His reflections on the moral dilemmas faced during the genocide have contributed to a broader understanding of the psychological trauma experienced by soldiers in peacekeeping roles, particularly in situations where they are unable to intervene in atrocities.
