Speaking to the European Western Balkans media outlet, Manuel Sarrazin, German Federal Government Special Representative for the Western Balkans, said that the UN resolution on Srebrenica, which Germany co-sponsored is not against Serbia, Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity or any individual.
“Germany has co-sponsored this resolution together with Rwanda and a number of other Member States of the UN. We are globally and at all times committed to preventing genocide. It is of great importance for us to maintain the memory of the horrors of the Holocaust. That’s why we are also committed to sharpening the memory of other internationally recognized genocides in recent history,” Sarrazin said.
The upcoming 11th of July marks the 30th year of the genocide of the Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995, he said.
The genocide, the German envoy noted, is historically and legally proven and classified as genocide by independent international courts and individual perpetrators were convicted.
“Through this commemoration, we would also honour the prosecution of genocide by international jurisdictions. I think it must be clearly said that this resolution is not against Serbia, Republika Srpska or any other state, entity or group. It is linked with crimes that have been committed, and the genocide which took place. This is said by not only international courts but also by the legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” Sarrazin noted.
“The text of the resolution is directed against actions such as denial and glorification of genocide. The resolution does not mention any state or any group in particular. Resolutions for commemorating the Holocaust as well as the genocide in Rwanda have existed for many years.”
