US Edition7 newly identified Srebrenica victims will be buried on the Bosnian massacre anniversary
REPUBLIKA SRPSKA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, JUL 09 – Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide will be buried, joining 6,750 others interred at the memorial site, as families seek closure and remembrance.
- On July 11, the 30th anniversary of the genocide, seven victims from the 1995 Srebrenica massacre who were recently identified will be laid to rest in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
- The massacre took place when nationalist Bosnian Serb forces captured Srebrenica, a town designated as a U.N. safe area, during the closing phase of the 1992-95 conflict that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia.
- Over the years, the victims' remains have been discovered at various sites, as their bodies were initially buried in large grave sites around Srebrenica and subsequently moved multiple times to cover up the crimes.
- Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that both the United Nations and the global community did not protect the residents of Srebrenica, a U.N.-designated safe area during the conflict, due to deliberate policies, propaganda, and widespread international neglect.
- The burial marks ongoing remembrance amid persistent ethnic divisions and unresolved political tensions that threaten Bosnia's stability decades after the U.S.-brokered peace treaty.
