Full Response
The United States proudly supported the UN General Assembly resolution, presented by Rwanda, Germany and Bosnia and Herzegovina, to commemorate the 1995 Srebrenica genocide and welcome its approval.
The repeated denial of the Srebrenica genocide makes international commemoration of the events of 1995 even more important and urgent. The resolution underlines that genocide occurred in and around Srebrenica in July 1995, an undisputed fact established by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the International Court of Justice and a large number of forensic evidence.
The resolution does not target any member states and does not impose collective responsibility for any group of people. As the resolution makes clear, we all have the obligation to accept the facts, learn the truth, honor the victims, support continued efforts to locate and identify victims and prosecute authors. These steps are essential for reconciliation.
