Nigel Casey

Former British Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina

“On 11th July every year a ceremony is held at the Memorial Centre in Potočari to remember the victims of the Srebrenica genocide and to bury those whose remains have been identified since the last commemoration. It is a moving and emotional occasion for all those present. For the families of those being buried, it is the first chance to say goodbye properly to their loved ones. For everyone, it is a painful moment to reflect. Keeping alive the memory of what happened in Srebrenica is as important now as it has ever been, especially when there are people who continue to try to downplay the enormity of the crime com- mitted there, and to contest the findings of the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) that it constituted an act of genocide. That is why the British Government has been a leading supporter, financially and politically, of the work of the ICTY and the War Crimes Division of the BiH State Court in bringing those accused of responsibility for Srebrenica to face justice. It is why we have been a leading supporter of the International Commission for Missing Persons, whose pioneering use of DNA analysis has enabled the successful identification of the great majority of the victims. And it is why we have supported the creation of the Potočari Memorial Centre. For the same reason, I am very pleased that, thanks to the Remembering Srebrenica initiative, the commemoration in Srebrenica will have a strong echo in London. I commend the work, and continue to support the initiative.”

This is a wonderful gesture from journalists around the world. Follow #Bosnianwarjournalists and #Bosnianwarreporters to support their campaign against @nobelprize's misguided aware to #PeterHandke, a genocide denier.

Janine di Giovanni@janinedigi

Here's what I saw in #Bosnia: mass rape, ethnic cleansing, genocide. Tomorrow, #Handke gets a #NobelPrize. He's a genocide denier. My colleagues and I are posting our #Bosnia stories to remind you of what happened there. #BosniaWarJournalists.

Journalists who covered the Bosnian War are protesting against the 2019 Nobel Literature Prize being awarded to #Srebrenica genocide denier, Peter Handke using the hashtag #BosniaWarJournalists while describing what they witnessed & reported on in the 1990s.
History is important. https://t.co/TLBvC63ton

The solidarity displayed by journalists who've used #BosniaWarJournalists to highlight the truth of what happened is heartening to read. It serves as a powerful
antidote to counter the revisionism peddled by Handke & shows that such people will never succeed in rewriting history

Peter Handke who denied the genocide at Srebrenica will be honoured with the Nobel Prize in a few hours time. This is an insult to the victims & survivors who have endured so much pain & suffering. Let us be clear that today should be long remembered as a shameful day in history.

As part of #GenocidePreventionDay our partners @FoundIshami have created a powerful video featuring survivors who were persecuted because of their identities. Please watch and share to raise awareness & to ensure we learn the lessons of such atrocities https://t.co/cfOSbnPy5O.

Today marks #GenocidePreventionDay, yet the sad reality is that 71 years after the adoption of the convention, genocide has taken place in different decades on different continents. We must therefore continue to work hard to raise awareness, educate others and challenge denial.

When asked whether he accepted the genocide at Srebrenica happened, Peter Handke dismissed the question as 'empty & ignorant'. This is yet another example of the crass & deplorable conduct that reinforces how disgraceful it is to award him the Nobel prize. https://t.co/ID7y5btI4M
