Prof. Milenko Kreća’s view of the Genocide convention and its applicability in the Bosnia v. Serbia ICJ litigation
Dr. Milenko Kreća is professor of international law at the University of Belgrade and was a judge on the International Court of Justice panel which considered Bosnia and Herzegovina’s application to ICJ to find Serbia guilty of genocide for certain events which took place on its territory during the conflict in the 1990s. Kreća’s separate and…
Evidence of enormous combat losses suffered by the 28th Division column after the fall of Srebrenica
The extent of the legitimate combat losses of the 28th Division column which conducted a breakout from Srebrenica to Tuzla needs to be sorted out. The armed column traversed about 60 km of territory under Serb control and in the process ran into numerous Serb ambushes. Column losses were never considered as a separate category…
Srebrenica – a genocide narrative that is running out of steam
July 11 this year will mark the 26th anniversary of the tragic events that took place in 1995 in the east Bosnian district of Srebrenica. With each passing year the ceremony loses some of its luster and pomp, as genocide fatigue sets in. The inquirer into these matters will get radically different answers and interpretations,…
ICTY Srebrenica Autopsy reports
For twenty-five years autopsy reports have been the only tangible evidence in existence of what passes as the “Srebrenica narrative”. Between 1996 and 2001 those reports were prepared by the forensic experts of the Office of the Prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal. Technically, the task of those experts was to conduct exhumations of mass graves…

Mirjana — a documentary about the cruelty of the Bosnian war, 1992.
Even in a world where violence is increasingly the norm, some forms of violence stand out by their utter heinousness. One Serbian mother and her nine year-old daughter have been through just such an experience. The girl was raped and then murdered in the presence of her helpless mother. Is that the “path of Allah,”…
Victim testimonies of attacks on Serbian villages around Srebrenica
Widespread and systematic attacks on Serbian settlements which were taking place between 1992 and June 1995 have largely been swept under the rug. It is not exactly a taboo subject, but nobody gets a pat on the back for mentioning it either. These attacks which left just under a thousand recorded deaths and widespread destruction…

Col. Robert Franken was deputy commander of the UN peace-force unit stationed in Srebrenica in 1994 and 1995, in period preceding its fall to Serbian forces in July 1995. The commander, Col.

Srebrenica military draft order belies “demilitarization”
The “demilitarization” of military forces in the Srebrenica enclave under Sarajevo’s command, agreed on in April and May 1933, was a sham. That was recognized even by ICTY in the Krstić judgment, par. 24: “The Trial Chamber heard credible and largely uncontested evidence of a consistent refusal by the Bosnian Muslims to abide by the…
