Overview

• At the 30th anniversary commemoration in Potocari, families buried the partial remains of seven newly identified victims.
• So far, forensic investigations have identified and buried about 7,000 victims, leaving roughly 1,000 still unaccounted for.
• Families often bury only a few bones because remains are scattered across secondary graves relocated to conceal evidence.
• International tribunals have legally defined the massacre as genocide and sentenced top leaders, while domestic courts pursue lower-level suspects in hundreds of war crime cases.
• Some political leaders in Serbia and Republika Srpska continue to reject the genocide designation, straining Bosnia’s post-war reconciliation.
