Venezuelan diplomat Diego Arria explores this question as he shares his experiences bringing genocidal Serbian president Slobodan Miloševic to justice. Comparing the international community’s failure to act against Miloševic in Bosnia with its effort to stop Saddam Hussein in Kuwait, he exposes the heartbreaking truth: without oil reserves, the lives of Bosnians were not in the United Nations Security Council’s interest.
