Overview

  • Seven victims recently identified through DNA analysis were interred at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery on the 30th anniversary of the massacre.
  • Nearly 7,000 participants completed a three-day peace walk from Nezuk to Srebrenica retracing the flight path of Bosniak men and boys in 1995.
  • Forensic teams have exhumed over 6,700 remains and accounted for almost 90 percent of those reported missing by the end of last year.
  • The U.N. General Assembly’s resolution designating July 11 as a day of remembrance reinforces international recognition of the Srebrenica genocide.
  • Bosnian Serb leaders continue to downplay or deny the genocide despite convictions of nearly 50 wartime officials by U.N. tribunals.
