The
Srebrenica massacre, also known as the
Srebrenica genocide.
11 July 1995, during the
Bosnian War, of more than 8,000
Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), mainly men and boys, in and around the town of
Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been killed by units of the
Army of Republika Srpska (VRS)
under the command of General
Ratko Mladić. A paramilitary unit from
Serbia known as the
Scorpions, officially part of the Serbian Interior Ministry until 1991,
participated in the massacre
and it is alleged that foreign volunteers including the
Greek Volunteer Guard also participated. The
mass murder was described by the Secretary-General of the United Nations as the worst crime on European soil since the Second World War.
In April 1993, the United Nations declared the besieged enclave of
Srebrenica in the Drina Valley of north-eastern Bosnia a "safe area"
under UN protection. However, in July 1995, the
United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), represented on the ground by a 400-strong contingent of Dutch
peacekeepers,
Dutchbat, did not prevent the town's capture by the VRS and the subsequent massacre.
