NEW YORK - Bosnia plans to sue Britain in the World Court under the convention against genocide for opposing the lifting of a United Nations' arms embargo that prevents Bosnia from defending itself, its UN envoy said yesterday, Reuter reports. Ambassador Muhamed Sacirbey told a news conference the suit would focus on Britain because it had been 'at the forefront of maintaining the arms embargo', and resisting tougher measures to prevent what he called genocide.
