ICTY summary of Srebrenica events
The ICTY summary of Srebrenica events as allegedly established in the various Srebrenica trials at the Hague is not a professionally written executive synopsis of the evidence, but a PR puff piece. The facts presented on this website refute every one of its major assertions, or at least cast sufficient reasonable doubt to invalidate it…
Srebrenica geopolitical games
With another Srebrenica anniversary approaching, it is good to take stock. As we approach another Srebrenica anniversary this year, on July 11 at the Memorial Center in the east Bosnian community of Potočari the annual spectacle will again take place. It will be graced by the presence of individuals who claim to be political leaders…
Srebrenica and Jasenovac: The genuine difference between a phony and a real genocide
Remarks by Stephen Karganovic [1] at the 18th annual commemoration conference of the Jasenovac Research Institute in New York on May 19, 2019.

“Balkan Battlegrounds” — a CIA account of the conflict in the Former Yugoslavia
“Balkan Battlegounds, A military history of the Yugoslav conflict, 1990-1995, Vol. I” was published in 2002 as a retrospective analysis of the war in the Former Yugoslavia and an attempt to explain its causes.

Srebrenica satellite photos follow up
Our recent remarks concerning the credibility of some of the key evidentiary claims upon which the Srebrenica narrative is based [“Karl Popper Looks at Srebrenica”] elicited lively commentary, and not just in the arcane field of philosophy of science. One reader in particular has taken the trouble to research what space-based photographic surveillance technology can…
The virtues of unfalsifiability: Karl Popper looks at Srebrenica
We owe to Karl Popper the invaluable insight that for a hypothesis, proposition, or theory to be considered potentially true it must be falsifiable, or refutable. To be refuted, something must first be tested. It must be possible to produce a reproducible result that is in conflict with a claim, or that claim might as…
Interview with General Ratko Mladić, August 1995.
This is a neglected and largely unknown CNN interview with General Ratko Mladić, filmed in August 1995. The general was so articulate that subsequently the interview was swept under the rug and was never broadcast. In his responses to the journalist’s questions, the general touches upon the then recent events in Srebrenica.
Jovan Milojevich and Peter Beattie — The Pull of Humanitarian Interventionism: Examining the Effects of Media Frames and Political Values on People’s Choice of Resolution
Although not explicitly mentioned, Srebrenica is firmly embedded in the background of this article. Srebrenica has become inseparable from the humanitarian intervention doctrine (R2P) elaborated over the last two decades. The latter could hardly have acquired such seemingly irresistible forcefulness but for the impetus given to it by the Srebrenica narrative. That narrative has thus…
Edward Herman: Srebrenica — The Star Witness

Srebrenica: Der Kronzeuge, 2009, transl. by John Laughland) – “a devastating indictment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).” The late professor Edward Herman reviews a meticulous critique of key Srebrenica evidence provided by witness-participant Drazen Erdemovic and points out some of…
