NATO, which was supposed to be dissolved after the Cold War, turns 75 this year. 25 years ago, around 15 tons of depleted uranium bombs were dropped by NATO on Yugoslavia. As a result of these bombings, over 30,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the first 10 years since the bombing, making Serbia now the country that has the highest rates of cancer in Europe and one of the highest in the world. On behalf of these people and their families, Serbian lawyer Srdjan Aleksic (Aleksic) began a legal process against NATO in 2021. In the Global Times (GT)'s Insight Talk program with reporter Wang Wenwen, Aleksic talked about this case and the role NATO now plays in the world.
