The Srebrenica Memorial Center commemorates the 29th anniversary of the genocide against Bosniaks in and around Srebrenica, which was committed by Serb forces in July 1995. On this occasion, the remains of 14 identified Srebrenica victims will be buried in Potocari.

More than 50 people have been sentenced to a total of 700 years in prison for genocide and war crimes in Srebrenica before various courts, including the former president of Republika Srpska, Radovan Karadžić, and the wartime commander of the RS Army, Ratko Mladic.

In 2007, the International Court of Justice in The Hague issued a verdict according to which the RS Army committed genocide in July 1995 in Srebrenica, which was then a UN-protected zone.

On May 23, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a Resolution declaring July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Srebrenica Genocide.

The Resolution, among other things, condemns the denial of genocide and the glorification of those convicted of war crimes.

The Srebrenica Memorial Center was officially opened on September 20, 2003, by the former President of the United States of America, Bill Clinton. So far, 6,751 victims of genocide have been buried in the Srebrenica Memorial Center, while 250 victims were buried in local cemeteries by the decision of the surviving family members.
