UN Resolution to Commemorate Srebrenica Genocide Faces Strong Opposition

Germany and Rwanda's proposed resolution to honor the 1995 genocide of Bosnian Muslims is met with resistance from Serbia, Bosnian Serbs, and Hungary.

  • The resolution seeks to establish July 11 as the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide.
  • Serbia and Bosnian Serb leaders argue the resolution unfairly stigmatizes all Serbs and could lead to war damage reparations.
  • Hungary has announced it will vote against the resolution, citing concerns over regional stability.
  • The resolution has backing from Bosniak politicians, several European countries, and the United States.
  • International courts have recognized the Srebrenica massacre as genocide, the first in Europe since World War II.
