The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, despite the fact that the United Nations adopted the resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica, has misinformed and stated that the United Nations did not support it and that it did not reach a majority.
What did Dodik say?
“In the UN General Assembly, they did not even reach a majority, which means that it is a failed resolution for Srebrenica.” About 110 countries did not vote, voted against or abstained. This is a failed resolution, and that means the UN did not support it. Their plan to impose genocide and moral disqualification on the Serbs failed.”
Analysis:
This is another attempt by Dodik to continue to deny the genocide and not take responsibility for the genocide in Srebrenica.
On May 23, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the resolution declaring July 11 as the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Srebrenica Genocide. The resolution was adopted with 84 votes in favor. There were 19 votes against and 68 abstentions.
The resolution was introduced jointly by Germany and Rwanda.
On July 11, 1995, Serbian forces and Bosnian Serbs occupied a UN-protected security zone in Srebrenica. They separated at least 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys from their wives, mothers and sisters and massacred them. Those who tried to flee were chased through the forests and over the mountains surrounding the town.
