Genocide

Israel will on Friday hit back at what it describes as "atrocious" allegations it is committing "genocide" in Gaza, in a closely watched landmark case before the U.N.'s top court.

South Africa has launched an emergency case at the International Court of Justice arguing that Israel stands in breach of the U.N. Genocide Convention, signed in 1948 in the wake of the Holocaust.

As the year ends, civilians are dying at a staggering pace in the Gaza Strip and the genocide in Darfur may be resuming. A man charged with 91 felonies is leading in American presidential polls, and our carbon emissions risk cooking our planet.

But something else is also true: In some ways, 2023 may still have been the best year in the history of humanity.

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Ana Brnabic on Wednesday opened an international scientific conference titled 80 Years Of The Term Genocide, Case Study: Genocide Against The Serbs, Jews And Roma In The Independent State Of Croatia, and said the Serbian government would continue to support the Genocide Victims' Museum.

The CHP's proposed also called for July 11 to be declared Genocide Remembrance Day to commemorate the killings of more than 7,000 Bosniak men and boys by Bosnian Serb forces in 1995.

Suljagi's controversial address took place during a conference dedicated to collective memory held on July 10 this year in Srebrenica.
Portal B92.net reports the Museum's reaction in its entirety:

Since the last annual commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide in July 2022, the Bosnian state prosecution has only filed one indictment for Srebrenica crimes - charging a suspect who lives in Serbia and cannot be arrested.

On July 16, 2021, a Greek man called Antonis Mitkos uploaded a photograph to his Facebook page. It shows him dressed in military uniform, arm-in-arm with Bosnian Serb wartime commander Ratko Mladic.

But the process of peacebuilding is never a straight line and is often slowed down by chauvinistic and nationalist narratives and actions coming from key politicians, state-controlled media and extremist groups.

After almost two weeks of intense negotiations, experts from more than 70 countries gathered in Ljubljana adopted a document to cooperate in the investigation and prosecution of the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. It is the first such treaty since the 1998 Rome Statute.

Greece should advocate a new approach to genocide remembrance. Currently genocides are memorialized on a parochial basis.
