The Governing Board of the Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial Center, Memorial and Cemetery for the Victims of the 1995 Genocide, welcomes the announcement of consideration of the Resolution on the Srebrenica Genocide before the United Nations General Assembly. In this regard, on behalf of the families of the victims of genocide, they expressed their gratitude to the proponents of this resolution - the Republic of Rwanda and the Federal Republic of Germany.

“Germany, Rwanda and Bosnia and Herzegovina have shown that individuals and communities can learn lessons from the crimes and tragic events of the past and that there are people in those countries who are ready to work to ensure that the world recognizes the importance of the fight for truth and justice,” said the Governing Board of the Memorial Center.

The Memorial Center invites all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, holders of responsible positions in institutions in the country and the world, all friends of BiH, political and religious leaders, legal authorities, activists, civil society organizations and memorials to do everything in their power in order to ensure full support for the Resolution and its adoption next month.

The Srebrenica Memorial Center warns that the Resolution is important for the future and an opportunity for the final confirmation of the relationship of civilization to the genocide in Srebrenica.

“In a time of instability and constant threats to peace, violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the results of the voting in the General Assembly will not only determine the attitude of the international community towards the past and the genocide in Srebrenica but will also be a guide for who our country can count on. as a partner and ally in times of insecurity and threats. They will be our allies, on whom we can count, in the days and years ahead.”

The Memorial Center will establish a special team and focus on intensive communication with international and domestic partners, and all the institution's resources will be dedicated to advocating the successful adoption of the Resolution from today until the moment when that proposal comes on the agenda of the General Assembly.
