The International Court of Justice of The Hague declared in 2007 the Srebrenica massacre as genocide.

Among the crimes committed in Srebrenica, among others, Radovan Karadjic and Ratko Mladi were sentenced in The Hague.

The Hague Tribunal sentenced Mladja in November 2017 to life imprisonment and found guilty of genocide in Srebrenica. Radovan Karadi was sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Serbia does not recognize that the genocide took place in Srebrenica.

In 2010, the Serbian Parliament adopted a declaration condemning the Srebrenica massacre in July 1995.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the massacre in 2015 was significant not only because of the visit of the Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vujovic, attacked in Potoari, but also because of the Srebrenica resolution.

The resolution on Srebrenica was not adopted at the United Nations Security Council at the time, after Russia had exercised its veto.

A resolution declaring that a genocide took place was passed by the US Congress and then by the European Parliament.
