The UN General Assembly adopts the resolution on Srebrenica

UN General Assembly

The General Assembly of the United Nations has approved the resolution declaring July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Srebrenica Genocide.

The resolution received 84 votes "for", 19 "against" and 68 "abstentions".

It was officially proposed by Germany and Rwanda.

All the countries of the Western Balkans voted in favor, except Serbia, which opposed the resolution.

The resolution also calls for "unreserved condemnation of any denial of the genocide in Srebrenica, as well as actions that glorify those convicted of war crimes, including those responsible for the genocide."

We recall that in July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces killed over 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica.

For the committed genocide, more than 50 people were sentenced to about 700 years in prison.

The International Court of Justice in The Hague characterized the crime in Srebrenica as genocide in 2007.

The Hague Court found that Serbia was neither responsible for the act nor complicit, but stated that it did nothing to prevent it./ CNA
