UN Approves Annual Srebrenica Genocide Commemoration Amid Serb Opposition

The United Nations has approved a resolution to annually commemorate the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, despite strong opposition from Serbia and Bosnian Serbs. The resolution, which designates July 11 as the "International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica," passed with 84 votes in favor, 19 against, and 68 abstentions. Critics argue it unfairly stigmatizes Serbs, while supporters believe it honors the victims and promotes global awareness.
