"Srebrenica Remembered"


1 of 11

Near Zvornik, Republika Srpska, Oct. 2nd 2003. One of the bodies in the largest mass grave yet found at a location called Crni Vrh (which means "black peak" in bosnian). Approximately 500 bodies of Bosnian Muslims were removed from this site between May and October 2003.

The killing of 8,000 Bosnian men in Srebrenica in 1995 remains an issue of great importance in the peace process in the former Yugoslav republics. It is also a key incident in the evolution of the concept of International Justice. While exhumations of mass graves of Srebrenica victims continue, a memorial was established for those victims that have and will be identified. The site was opened by Bill Clinton in Potocari near Srebrenica on Sept. 20th 2003.
