US EditionBosnians honour Srebrenica genocide victims 30 years on
SREBRENICA AND BRATUNAC, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, JUL 11 – More than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed in 1995; ongoing efforts focus on justice, remembrance, and combating denial to prevent future genocides.
- On July 11, 2025, thousands gathered in Srebrenica, Bosnia, to commemorate three decades since the genocide in which more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed.
- The genocide occurred after Bosnian Serb fighters captured the United Nations-designated safe area in 1995 during the dissolution of Yugoslavia, where they separated men from their families, executed them, and interred the bodies in mass graves.
- Annual funerals continue as remains are still identified and interred, while international leaders and dignitaries attend commemorations emphasizing justice and memory preservation.
- Bosnian Muslim presidency member Denis Becirovic denounced genocide denial as "illogical, immoral, and unacceptable" and stated, "We are seeking truth and justice."
- The event reinforces calls to remember victims, acknowledge failures to prevent the massacre, pursue justice against perpetrators, and build a peaceful, shared future in Bosnia.
