Dr. Ljubiša Simić: An analysis of Srebrenica forensic reports prepared by ICTY Prosecution experts
A thorough analysis of forensic evidence used in Srebrenica-related trials at ICTY in the Hague is an important tool not only for sorting out what actually happened in Srebrenica in July of 1995, but also for understanding the procedures followed by that Tribunal. These insights are all the more significant since over the last decade…
Srebrenica war crimes suspect list, July 1995
It is often overlooked that the Army of the Republic of Srpska, specifically its Bratunac brigade in whose zone of responsibility the Srebrenica enclave was located, had prepared a list of war crimes suspects with which it entered Srebrenica on July 11, 1995. Why is that fact significant? Because it is incompatible with the theory…
“Demilitarized” Srebrenica mobilization order
There are too many inconsistencies surrounding the claims of the Srebrenica lobby. If looked at carefully, they give the game the away and, cumulatively, undermine every essential claim of the official Srebrenica narrative.

George Pumphrey: Srebrenica Dutchbat Eyewitnesses
One of the abiding mysteries of the Srebrenica controversy is the seemingly colossal failure of the institutions investigating it, most notably the Hague Tribunal (ICTY), to make good use of about 300 Dutch peace-keepers who were stationed in the enclave at the time of its fall on July 11, 1995.

Case Study: The Branjevo/Pilica Execution Site
Chapter from the monograph “ICTY and Srebrenica.” How does ICTY get away with proving mass murder ascending to the level of genocide when the bulk of the evidence does not support many of its factual conclusions? We can try to answer this question by reviewing the evidence which various ICTY chambers used to reach their…
ICMP and how it came about
The International Commission for Missing Persons (ICMP) was until recently based in Bosnia and Herzegovina and played a leading role in the collection and analysis of physical evidence of Srebrenica-related events in July of 1995. It has carefully nurtured an image of a professional organization composed of international experts. In “About ICMP” on its website…
