"Madam President, this week we are commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. We honour the memory of the victims and pay tribute to the fortitude of their families in seeking justice. It shames the world that it failed to protect innocent civilians.
It is disappointing that the UN failed to pass this resolution, especially when the International Court of Justice (ICJ), its own court, had acknowledged the genocide. Lessons of the past must be learned. We renew our determination never to let forces of prejudice, hatred and evil go unchecked. While we commemorate the past, we keep our eyes firmly on the future of Bosnia. Reconciliation remains a fundamental objective. This path leads to justice and truth. Our duty is to strengthen our efforts to promote education, remembrance and research about Srebrenica and other genocides. Future generations must understand the causes of such massacres and build societies based on trust, inclusivity and the celebration of diversity.
We remain fully committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina being part of the EU, together with other Western Balkan nations. The European path is the best way to move forward beyond the tragedies of the past. We urge the leaders of Bosnia to work together to make the country a safe and prosperous place, for this will be the lasting tribute to the Srebrenica victims. Our hearts and thoughts will always be with them."@en1
