UN Establishes Annual Day to Remember Srebrenica Genocide

The resolution, passed despite strong opposition from Serbia and Bosnian Serbs, aims to honor victims and support survivors.

The UN General Assembly voted 84-19 to designate July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance of the Srebrenica Genocide.
The resolution condemns genocide denial and urges member countries to preserve established facts about the atrocity.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik opposed the resolution, claiming it would harm reconciliation efforts.
The 1995 genocide, recognized by international courts, saw over 8,000 Bosnian Muslims killed by Bosnian Serb forces.
The resolution was co-sponsored by Germany and Rwanda and supported by over 40 countries, including the United States and several Balkan nations.
