Regula: It is genocide because Bosnian serb forces where trying to remove all people from an area of land. It is also a genocide because Bosnian serb forces also used the same methods of a regular genocide such as murder, rape, torture and forcible displacement.

Rubio: One of the most well known people convicted was the “Butcher of Bosnia,” Serb General Ratko Mladic. Mladic was one of the last people convicted despite his large role in the genocide. Mladic was one of the coordinators of Srebrenica, an event that took the lives of over 8,000 Bosniaks. Due to this, he was to serve life in prison. The so-called "butcher" is shown below.

Rubio: As a result of the genocide, the ICTY was formed, convicting 161 people of crimes against humanity. Serbian leader, Milosevic was charged in 2001 for crimes against humanity and genocide. However, Milosevic died in prison before his case had fully ended. Additionally, Radovan Karadzic, a leader/planner of Srebrenica massacre and nine other crimes, was found guilty in 2017 of genocide. Many other co-conspirators were charged and found guilty of crimes against humanity.

Rubio: Groups have formed to rally Bosniaks after the horrific events of the GENOCIDE. For example, the Mothers of Srebrenica fought and earned assistance from the Bosnian government, UN REPARATIONS, and much needed attention to the massacre victims. Srebrenica now has a memorial cemetery (as displayed in the image) in which new bodies found from the event are buried and lost lives are remembered every July 11. The event is attended by heads of state, diplomats, and delegates of the UN to take part in prayers, listen to speeches, and discuss global social issues.

Rubio: A divided Bosnia was created so Croats and Bosniaks could live separate from Serbs in Bosnia. The two parts were the Bosnian-Croat Federation and the Bosnian Serb Republic. Both parts share a capital of Sarajevo, a city Serbs made a large attack on Bosniaks previously, and form Bosnia as a whole. New leaders took over the two sides of Bosnia. The attached photo below shows the two sides, the pink areas representing the Serb Republic and the blue areas the Bosnian-Croat Federation.

Olivo: The Dayton Peace Agreement ended the war and made Bosnia one state but with two nations. There was Muslim-Croat Federalization and the Bosnian-Serb Republic. This is meant to help avoid future conflict between the two groups.

Olivo: When the Serbs didn't give in to the ultimatum (a statement of terms they had to comply with) given by the UN, they and combined Croatian and Bosnian forces proceed to bomb Serb bases for three weeks. These bombings finished neutralizing the Serb army and made way for the end of the war.

Regula: Bosnian serb forces attacked bosniak dominated towns, It was not to remove a certain religion of people but to remove all from an area of land. All sorts of harmful methods were used such as murder, rape, torture and forcible displacement. After they found mostly woman and girls hiding along with thousands remains of people.

Rubio: On July 10, four days after the start of the attack, fifty planes came to relieve the town of Srebrenica. Later, two planes came to drop a bomb on Serb areas. In the end, the help from the UN and NATO was not used to its full extent and therefore not very beneficial.

# data[].attributes.body
Olivo: Because Srebrenica had never been properly defended, when the Serb army attacked they were successful in capturing it.  Once they had the town in their control they started to systematically kill bosniak men and boys. Over 8,000 people lost their lives during this massacre.

Olivo: After war broke out some cites were declared "Safe Areas" and were supposed to be protected by the United Nations. People were supposed to be able to take refuge from the war in these cities.  Unfortunately the United Nations left too few soldiers protecting them and made them more vulnerable to possible attackers.

Regula: In early may, 1992, two days after the european nations recognized bosnian independence, the Bosnian serb forces launched an attack on the bosnia capital, Sarajevo with the backing of Milosevic and the Serb-dominated Yugoslav army.

Regula: Bosnia was seeking independence and wanted to be dominant. In early May, 1992, European Nations recognized Bosnian independence.

Olivo: Everything comes to an end so when Josip Broz Tito passed away the Republic of Yugoslavia fell into chaos. There was no one to lead Yugoslavia and use the Cold War NEUTRALITY to their advantage or make any political decisions. It had been under his DICTATORSHIP that all the separate nations stayed united so when his leadership was so suddenly gone tensions started rising and new governments started forming.

Rubio: The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was formed from the separate nations Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Macedonia (as shown in the photo). The nations  lived under COMMUNIST rule with Josip Broz Tito as their president. Under his credo of "brotherhood and unity" Yugoslavia was able to become buoyant.

Follow the arrows for an overview on the events of the Bosnian Genocide.

Olivo: What happened to the Bosniaks was a GENOCIDE because they were being mass murdered, the men and women were separated, and they were being deported and put in concentration camps among other reasons. They were being killed to "ethnically cleanse" Bosnia of their people. WAR CRIMES were also committed multiple times during the time span of the war.  During events like the mass murder of Srebrenica the men specifically were murdered and that prevents a new generation of Bosniaks from even being born. Finally, the Bosniaks were being put in concentration camps and in some cases they were unwillingly deported which all fits the U.N.'s definition of genocide.

# data[].attributes.body
Rubio: These horrific events that involved rape, mass murdering, and forced displacement to Bosniaks (Muslim Bosnians) make it a genocide.  Bosniaks were specifically targeted in order to create "Serb Unity." Some Bosniaks were put in concentration camps (shown below) like Jews were in the HOLOCAUST while others were killed in masses like in Srebrenica. Srebrenica was a massacre claiming over 8,000 lives and it was the event that made the UN officially declare the Bosnian Genocide a genocide.

The UN defines a genocide as "Acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group." Is what happened to Bosniaks a genocide?

Olivo: The Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and Bosnian-Croats voted for an independent Bosnia under a Bosniak president mostly to try and avoid conflict with the mainly Serb populated Yugoslavia that was already showing AGGRESSION towards them. However Bosnian-Serbs didn't want separation from Serbia and didn't agree with the Bosniaks and Bosnian-Croats. To solve this problem they also declared independence and made a sort of smaller state within the state of Bosnia with the intentions of joining Serbia.
