Who are you to focus on justifying the destruction of a historical monument? The fact that the first few lines about the stari most focus on why it was okay to destroy and not the repercussions of the destruction are very telling! Destroying historical monuments is a war crime! Croatian army had no right to shell that bridge. You know very well you are spreading propaganda. Shame on you!

Removing one part [1] and leaving the other there does not constitute neutrality, @Governor Sheng. Either restore this version or remove both, as I did [2], which you reverted. The removal of "The ICTY Trial Chamber in its judgment from 2013 stated that the bridge was a military target, but its destruction was "disproportionate to the military gains achieved", hence it was an illegal act of a "war crime and a crime against humanity", adding it was “an underlying act of persecutions on political, racial and religious grounds as a crime against humanity and unlawful infliction of terror on civilians as a violation of the laws and customs of war “. In 2017, in appeal of the first judgement, court revised its rule, deeming that destruction was legal if the bridge was considered a military target. One of three judges, Fausto Pocar, contested this appeal ruling in his dissenting opinion, stating that he was surprised that his colleagues had ignored the Hague Convention of 1954 (the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict), especially its Article 4, paragraph 2" still remains questionable to me.

I'm not against including the 1st instance verdict.I know.
The whole sentence was made to push one POV.It's not, in what way does mentioning the first verdict fall under WP:UNDUE? The current lead is completely misleading and makes it appear that the whole consensus about the legality of the destruction has already been established. It's not. Because of that, let's remove both. Or include both. I'm in favor of removing both - to prevent potential WP:NPOV and bias in the lead. But since I haven't heard anything from you about this particular idea I'll request a third opinion unless something changed. I've struck my previous comments to make it easier for the user to read our discussion. AlexBachmann (talk) 00:31, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
