We remind you that the Resolution declares July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica 1995, which will be observed every year.

It unequivocally condemns any denial of the Srebrenica genocide as a historical event and calls on member states to preserve established facts, including through their educational systems, by developing appropriate programs, also in remembrance, in order to prevent denial and distortion of facts, and the occurrence of genocide in the future.

It condemns all actions that glorify those convicted of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide by international courts, including those responsible for the genocide in Srebrenica.

It emphasizes the importance of completing the process of finding and identifying the remaining victims of the Srebrenica genocide and their dignified burial, and calls for the continued prosecution of those perpetrators of the Srebrenica genocide who have yet to face justice.

The Resolution calls on all states to fully adhere to their obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, as applicable, and international customary law on the prevention and punishment of genocide, with due respect for the relevant decisions of the ICJ.

On the anniversary day, July 11, a commemoration will be held in Potočari for the victims to be buried this year. So far, five families have given consent for five victims, but the final number will be known by the beginning of July.
