07 May Human rights organizations from Serbia urge the government and the President of Serbia to support the UN resolution on the International Day of Remembrance of the Srebrenica Genocide

The KROKODIL Association is one of the signatory organizations urging the Government and President of Serbia to support the Resolution on the International Day of Remembrance of the Srebrenica Genocide.

Human rights organizations from Serbia strongly support the adoption of the United Nations resolution proclaiming July 11th as the ‘International Day of Remembrance of the Srebrenica Genocide.’

The facts about the Srebrenica genocide, as well as its legal qualification, have been unequivocally confirmed by judgments of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. The first genocide conviction for Srebrenica was handed down to the commander of the Drina Corps of the Army of Republika Srpska, Radislav Krstić, in April 2004. Others convicted of genocide include Vujadin Popović, Ljubiša Beara, Drago Nikolić, Zdravko Tolimir, as well as the former President of Republika Srpska, Radovan Karadžić, and the wartime commander of the Army of Republika Srpska, Ratko Mladić, who were sentenced to life imprisonment.

We call on the Government and President of the Republic of Serbia to support the proclamation of July 11th as the International Day of Remembrance of the Srebrenica Genocide and to discontinue the practice of celebrating convicted war criminals, as well as denying the crimes, victims, and judgments of international courts. By doing so, Serbia would take a decisive step towards reconciliation in the region.
