Baroness Warsi

Former Senior Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Srebrenica Memorial Day is a day to stop, to think and to remember  the victims of the Srebrenica genocide. I have met with a number of survivors of the Srebrenica genocide, including Mother of Srebrenica, women whose sons an husbands were so really taken from them in July 1995. As a wife and a mother, I will be thinking of them in particular on the 11th July.

What happened in Srebrenica carries the message for us all that hatred can take hold of any place, at any time – even at the end of the 20th Century on European soil. With that fact in our minds, and the Mothers of Srebrenica in our hearts, we must stand together and pledge to make sure this never happens again.

We can all learn lessons from the courage of genocide survivors who carry on and seek justice, whilst courageously sharing their stories with others so that we can bear witness to one of the darkest periods of history.

It is especially fitting that Remembering Srebrenica’s theme for this year is ‘Acts of Courage’. Remembering Srebrenica plays a vital role in reminding us that it is everyone’s duty to stand up to hatred and speak out against intolerance. Through the work of more than 1,100 dedicated Community Champions across the country, Remembering Srebrenica is helping to build better, safer and stronger communities in the UK.

Establishing Remembering Srebrenica, and securing government support for it, was one of my proudest achievements during my time in government and it is a pleasure to continue to support this valuable work.

Watching the #BAFTA tonight? Look out for the superb ‘Quo Vadis, Aida?’ directed by Jasmila Zbanic, available on @PrimeVideo. It tells the story of the #Srebrenica genocide through the perspective of a UN interpreter @RemSrebScot @SrebrenicaUK #BAFTAs https://t.co/EVOshJ1ixK

"It was natural to be with those who were attacked, who did not have weapons," Divjak told AFP in 2017, rejecting the "good Serb" label.
"The idea of a multi-ethnic Bosnian army had won me over," he added.

Another sad loss this week. What an impressive man Dragi Jovo was.

In Bratunac this morning, a town near Srebrenica where numerous Bosniak-Muslims were ethnically cleansed and murdered, a sign wishing a happy birthday to Ratko Mladic, the convicted genocidal war criminal, was hung up. Genocide glorification continues.

'I hope the soldiers who loaded the ammunition are tormented by the screams of the women and the cries of the children they killed'. Reaction after the VRS shelled a school in Srebrenica on this day 28 years ago.

Today, we remember the victims.

Today marks 14 years since Serb paramilitaries known as the 'Scorpios' who were filmed taunting their vicitms before shooting them in the back as they lay in a ditch were found guilty. Three of the Bosnian Muslim men they killed were just teenagers https://t.co/WVPXfIuoPh

@SrebrenicaUK Had the privilege of meeting the general in Sarajevo. A real character but above all a man of principle, who put morals above nationality. An inspiration. #goodrelations #TBUC
