Missouri House of Representatives
Resolution
Whereas, the Association of Survivors of the Srebrenica Genocide in St. Louis, Missouri, will commemorate the Tenth Anniversary of the fall of Srebrenica on July 9, 2005, at the History Museum in Forest Park; and
Whereas, in July 1995, the Serbian Nationalist Military attacked the United Nations "safe area" of Srebrenica and killed 8000 men and boys, making it the worst act of genocide in Europe since World War II; and
Whereas, the 1995 massacre of thousands of men and boys in the city of Srebrenica, in Eastern Bosnia, was the culminating event in the Bosnian war which began in the spring of 1992 after Bosnia acquired independence from the former Yugoslavia; and
Whereas, the Bosnian Serbs began a broad push to expel Muslims from the North and East in an effort to create an ethnically pure Bosnian Serb state and thousands of Muslims in the East fled into enclaves, including Srebrenica; and
Whereas, today, St. Louis is the largest home to Srebrenica survivors in the world who live among 50,000 Bosnian refugees; and
Whereas, the Association of Survivors of the Srebrenica Genocide gathers in remembrance with communities of Srebrenica survivors throughout the United States and Europe in calling for information about those missing from the fall of Srebrenica, the prosecution of indicted war criminals, and help for refugee survivors.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that we, the members of the Missouri House of Representatives, Ninety-third General Assembly, join the Association of Survivors of the Srebrenica Genocide as it commemorates the Tenth Anniversary of the war and genocide in Bosnia; and
Be it further resolved that the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copy of this resolution for the Association of Survivors of the Srebrenica Genocide.

U samo nekoliko kobnih dana Jula 1995, Srebrenički Genocid je rezultirao u masovnim ubijanjima najmanje 8,372 Bošnjaka i etničkom čišćenju 25,000 - 30,000 Bošnjaka iz zašticene zone Ujedinjenih Nacija koja je bila izložena čestim napadima dobro naoružane vojske RS-a potpomognute sa vojskom Srbije i Crne Gore. Važno je napomenuti da se Vojska RS-a na okolnim brdima i u selima oko Srebrenice nikad nije demilitarizovala iako je to od njih zathjevano ugovorom o demilitarizaciji, a napadi na Srebrenicu su trajali od 1991 do 1995 godine.
