The International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica is observed on July 11. This date was designated through a resolution sponsored by Germany and Rwanda to remember the tragic events of the Srebrenica genocide during the Bosnian War. In July 1995, the Bosnian Serb army captured the town of Srebrenica, leading to the massacre of thousands of Bosnian Muslim men and boys and the forced displacement of many others. Recognized as genocide by international judicial bodies, this day serves as a somber reminder of the atrocities and the need for ongoing reflection and commemoration.
