Make the denial of genocide in Srebrenica illegal and subject to prosecution

Closed 340 signatures

What the petition asks

In July 1995, more than 8,373 Bosniaks, mainly men and boys were murdered in cold blood, in Srebrenica during the Bosnian War.
As this was a clear act of genocide, it should be illegal to deny this event ever happened.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that the Srebrenica massacre was a genocide and was not just limited to men, but also to women and children, with the youngest victim being a newborn baby.
With human life being so precious, denial of their demise gives justification to the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
