Chairman of the organization “Remembering Srebrenica” Waqar Azmi sent a letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Great Britain, David Cameron, in which he referred to the resolution on Srebrenica that will be discussed in the UN General Assembly.
In his letter, Azmi emphasized that the diplomatic pace must be increased so that other countries also vote for the resolution on Srebrenica.
“I have today written to the Foreign Secretary, Lord David Cameron, urging the UK to support the proposed UN resolution and to step up the pace of diplomatic influence on other countries around the world to also vote for the resolution when it is their turn. Humanity has lived through the darkest of times, but few events marked our collective consciousness more than the genocide in Srebrenica, which according to the UN was ‘the worst crime on European soil since World War II,’ said Azmi.
He emphasized that he is proud that Great Britain is the only country besides Bosnia and Herzegovina that commemorates Srebrenica at the national level and that during the year organizes 1,000 memorial events and activities in schools, town halls, and places of worship throughout Great Britain.
“We are also proud that Great Britain was the first country to draft the United Nations Resolution on Srebrenica in 2015, which was vetoed by Russia.
However, denial of the genocide, glorification of the perpetrators, promotion of hatred towards Bosniaks and constant threats to peace, sovereignty, and territorial the integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina requires that this resolution be supported not only by Great Britain but also by all member states of the United Nations. The international day will not only honor the victims and survivors, but will also help build new hope for dialogue and reconciliation and provide an opportunity for communities to come together. and achieve a stronger connection,” Azmi said.
