UN General Assembly Adopts Controversial Resolution on Srebrenica Events
15:25 GMT 23.05.2024 (Updated: 17:14 GMT 23.05.2024) UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The UN General Assembly adopted a controversial resolution on the "genocide" in Srebrenica in 1995, a Sputnik correspondent reported on Thursday.
The resolution "condemns without reservation any denial of the Srebrenica genocide as a historical event and urges member states to preserve the established facts."
The
resolution also asks states to complete the process of finding and identifying the remaining victims of the Srebrenica genocide during the civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina that ensued with the
dissolution of Yugoslavia.
In April, the Russian Ambassador to the United Nations
Vassily Nebenzia said that the
draft resolution on events in Srebrenica is one-sided and can only provoke a new and very serious spiral of escalation.
Chinese Ambassador to the UN
Fu Cong ahead of the vote said the resolution would undercut efforts to promote reconciliation.
In July 1995, after the city of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the border with Serbia, came under the control of Serbian formations led by General Ratko Mladic, about 8,100 Muslim men were killed or went missing, according to the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) and several other organizations.
However, some experts consider these numbers exaggerated.
Official Belgrade and Banja Luka acknowledge the fact of the shooting of male population in July 1995 in the Srebrenica area, but categorically oppose the term "
genocide," the adoption of which by the international community entails undesirable political consequences and undermines the reputation of the entire Serbian people.
