In August 2016, we took our first ever delegation from Northern Ireland to Bosnia to learn Lessons from Srebrenica. Here three of the delegates, Peter Osborne, Caitriona Ruane MLA and Dr Ahmed Helmy talk about the experience.
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
