On 23 May 2024, the UN General Assembly designated 11 July as the “International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica.” The decision was criticized by some politicians in Serbia and Republika Srpska, who subsequently displayed billboards featuring the Cyrillic slogan “We are not a genocidal people” and messages thanking states that either voted against the resolution or abstained. Supporters of the campaign combined the numbers of opposing and abstaining countries to argue that a some number of states did not support the resolution.

Wij 'betreuren' wat er gebeurd is. Of: 'wij voelen mee' met de nabestaanden. Het klinkt meelevend, maar het zijn zorgvuldig gekozen woorden om het woord 'excuses' vooral te vermijden. Waarom Nederland zo huiverig was om dat woord uit te spreken in het geval van Rawagede en Srebrenica en of dit wel terecht is hoor je in dit college. “Sorry seems to be the hardest word”, zong Elton John ooit, maar volgens Rianne Letschert (Tilburg University) hoeft dat helemaal niet zo moeilijk te zijn!

Deze week in Universiteit van Nederland:
Rechtsgeleerde prof. dr. mr. Rianne Letschert
Wie college volgt van Rianne Letschert (Tilburg University) krijgt niet alleen een inkijkje in het internationale recht vanuit literatuuronderzoek, maar krijgt ook verhalen uit eerste hand over hoe internationale tribunalen werken en welke alternatieve vormen van rechtspraak er allemaal bestaan. Ze reist de hele wereld over, maar had gelukkig de tijd om bij ons te spreken over wat haar drijft: de positie van slachtoffers in het internationale recht.

Over de Universiteit van Nederland:
De beste hoogleraren van Nederland geven gratis college op internet. Elke werkdag komt er een nieuw college online, en elke week een nieuwe hoogleraar.
Een opname bijwonen? Dat kan!
Vier avonden per maand nemen we colleges op in Club AIR, Amsterdam, en jij kunt daarbij zijn. Tijdens zo’n avond nemen we vijf colleges van een kwartier op, gevolgd door Q&A en meet and greet (want tegen die tijd is de hoogleraar een rockster). Een echte aanrader!

ICMP's Podrinje Identification Project (PIP) was formed to deal with the identification primarily of victims of 1995 Srebrenica massacre. PIP includes a facility for storing, processing, and handling exhumed remains. Much of the remains are only fragments or commingled body fragments since they were recovered from secondary mass graves. The photo depicts one section of the refrigerated mortuary.
