Jews and Muslims Unite to Commemorate Srebrenica Genocide and Confront Ongoing Atrocities
- In July 1995, over 8,000 Bosniak Muslims were killed in the Srebrenica massacre, recognized as genocide by international courts.
- The World Jewish Congress held a conference with Muslims in Srebrenica to preserve memories of genocide victims and counter denial.
- Speakers drew parallels between genocides in Srebrenica, Ukraine, and China's oppression of Uyghurs.
- Lack of justice, denial, and dangerous narratives targeting minorities enable identity-based violence globally.
- Strengthening prosecution of genocide perpetrators and combating divisive ideologies are crucial to prevent future atrocities.
