Our thoughts are with all those who have been affected by the tragic events in Sri Lanka. These reprehensible acts, committed by those who are driven by hatred, aim to create fear & division in communities. We must stand together in solidarity & show that they will never succeed.
This week marks 6 years since @SrebrenicaUK was founded. Since 2013, we've organised 6,200 memorial activities, educated 90,000 young people & created 1,200 Community Champions who pledge to stand up to hatred & intolerance. Grateful to all whose support has made this possible.
4The Dutch Supreme Court was due to deliver a final decision on the country’s liability for the deaths of 300 men in Srebrenica today. This judgment has now been postponed until 19th July. Here is a summary of the key issues in the case: https://t.co/gefHled8nn
#OnThisDay in 2004, the Appeals Chamber in the Prosecutor v Krstić case unanimously found that genocide was committed in Srebrenica, describing it as a 'crime against all humankind, its harm being felt not only by the group targeted for destruction, but by all of humanity'.
Proud to welcome speakers, delegates and guests to discuss the steps to genocide and how to promote respect, peace and tolerance @SrebrenicaUK @WirralNEU @NEUnion @BritishRohingya #againsthate #notoislamaphobia #standuptoracism
