Hoy 11 de julio se cumple un aniversario más de l
a mayor orgía de violencia y muerte producida en Europa desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Un día como hoy de 1995, hace 26 años,
los radicales serbios obligaron a la población civil de Srebrenica a abandonar sus casas y dirigirse a pie a la fábrica de Potocari, donde se encontraba el cuartel general del batallón militar holandés.
Decenas de miles de desplazados musulmanes se habían refugiado en la localidad protegida por el mandato de la ONU bajo las resoluciones 819, 824 y 836, aprobadas por el Consejo de Seguridad entre el 16 de abril y el 3 de junio de 1993.

Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader convicted of genocide during the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, is to serve the rest of his life sentence in a British jail.
The Foreign Office said he would be transferred to a UK prison from a UN detention unit in the Netherlands.
Karadzic, 75, was also found guilty at his 2016 criminal tribunal of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
His original 40-year sentence was increased at an appeal hearing in 2019.
His conviction for genocide related to his responsibility for the murder of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995.
the move could be a death sentence .
A Prison Service source told
The Times the former warlord “won’t be spending much time outside his cell” to ensure his safety.
“There’ll be plenty of inmates who’d want to attack him,” they said.
Radislav Krstic, a Bosnian war criminal serving 35 years in Wakefield jail, sued the UK government in 2014 after he was slashed with a razor by three Muslim inmates. He was later transferred to a Polish prison to serve the remainder of his sentence.
Mr Robinson said the attack on Krstic demonstrated there was a threat to his client’s safety in a British prison. The move was validated by Judge Carmel Agius who was president International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia before it was shut down in 2017.
