Ann Garrison: “Denying” the Srebrenica Genocide Because It’s Not True – an Interview with Diana Johnstone (2015)
Saturday, July 11th, was the official 20th anniversary of what is called the “Srebrenica Massacre” and “the Srebrenica Genocide,” when Muslim men were killed by Serbian forces in the Bosnian civil war of 1992 to 1995.

Popović judgment analysis: Does DNA help the faltering Srebrenica lobby? (2010)
Although originally published in 2010, this analysis of ICTY’s trial judgment in the Popović case is as pertinent today as when it was written. In particular because of legislation to ban “Srebrenica genocide denial” that is pending before the Canadian parliament.

Lt. Col. Vinko Pandurević’s July 15 1995 Special Combat Report
The devil is in the details, as the saying goes. The document below is one such detail which calls into question a fabricated narrative and makes it appear unsustainable. Lt. Col.

In October 1995, Human Rights Watch issued a report on events that in July 1995 took place in and around Srebrenica.
