In early January 2020, Serbian media reported the sensational news that recently declassified British Ministry of Defense files contained important new evidence suggesting that the official account of what happened in Srebrenica was unfounded. As from time to time has been the case, Western sources have again disclosed some information about Srebrenica in July…
Contemporaneous US Government consultations were strangely silent on Srebrenica “genocide”
Newly declassified US government documents contemporaneous with Srebrenica events in July of 1995, contrary to expectation, contain no hint that an unfolding war crime of genocidal magnitude was on the radar of high government officials and intelligence and other agencies. At the November 1995 Bosnian peace conference in Dayton, Ohio, four months after the…
ICMP and its strange absence from Rwanda
It is a little noticed fact that the International Commission for Missing Persons [ICMP] which has been a key component of the prosecution’s Srebrenica case at the Hague, was completely absent from the investigation of the Rwandan slaughter, which had taken place around the same time. The issue to our knowledge has never been raised…
Peter Handke Nobel Prize Uproar Overlooks Evidence of Flawed Srebrenica Conclusions
The awarding of the Nobel Prize for literature to Austrian writer Peter Handke provoked some visceral reactions. The objectors were not at all motivated by the aesthetic qualities of the literature Handke produced, but entirely by their rejection of some of the political positions that the author had taken. A major “argument” raised against Handke…
ICTY Exaggerates Number of Prisoners Captured by Bosnian-Serbs in Srebrenica Operation
If our associate Andy Wilcoxson is correct in his critical assessment of the evidence at the disposal of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia regarding the number of Muslims captured by Serbian forces in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Srebrenica on 11 July 1995, the implications are staggering. To name just…
Are the Dutch rethinking Srebrenica? (2011)
It is hard to say to what extent the Dutch text which follows in English translation is a reflection of the July 5, 2011 decision of the Court of Appeals in the Hague in the tort action brought against the Dutch state on behalf of Srebrenica victims Nuhanović and Mustafić. The appellate chamber in that…
Andy Wilcoxson: Was Srebrenica was an inside job?
Our research associate Andy Wilcoxson has written a cogent analysis of events in Srebrenica in July of 1995 which we are happy to pass on to our readers. His survey of the available evidence is realistic and meticulously documented. The author explains how Alija Izetbegovic’s regime held the civilian population of Srebrenica hostage, goaded the Bosnian-Serbs…
Conclusions of the Srebrenica Research Group (2005)
Two former senior UN officials, and a group of journalists and academic researchers, on July 12, 2005, cast serious doubt on what they said were “highly inflated casualty figures and a misleading portrayal of events by governments, non-governmental organizations and major news organizations” with regard to the 1995 capture of Srebrenica, in Bosnia, by Bosnian…
Edward S. Herman: The U.S. Media Coverage of Srebrenica
The late Prof. Edward S. Herman’s study of U.S. media’s deeply biased coverage of Srebrenica has lost none of its incisiveness. The media have evidently discarded the professional tenets of journalism in imitation of the Hague Tribunal, which did the same with the professional norms of jurisprudence. By the time of the “Srebrenica massacre” in…
George Pumphrey: More evidence on the Srebrenica “numbers game”
Srebrenica scholars owe George Pumphrey a huge debt of gratitude for the results of his prodigious research. He would deserve laurels even if his contribution to Srebrenica scholarship were limited to demonstrating how the alleged 8,000 execution toll was concocted, as he does in the present text, or his discovery that the Hague Tribunal’s convictions…
