How to safeguard the memory of Srebrenica genocide

Today marks the 27th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, the most brutal phase of the three-and-a-half-year genocide committed against Bosniaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995. On 11 July, the remains of 50 Bosniak victims will be laid to rest in Srebrenica.

Several cities and state parliaments have declared 11 July as Srebrenica Remembrance Day in North America. Many of these population centers have sizeable Bosnian diaspora communities, and the local authorities were receptive to such initiatives. Commemorations of Srebrenica by local authorities are more frequent in North America than in Europe.
