Srebrenica Memorial Center shares genocide documentation expertise with Ukrainian officials

Representatives from the Srebrenica Memorial Center held presentations in Kyiv to share expertise on documenting genocide and war crimes with Ukrainian activists and legal professionals.

The sessions involved the Center for Civil Liberties, a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, and prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. Discussions focused on methodologies for collecting and preserving data, working with victims and witnesses, and the long-term use of documentation in judicial, educational, and memorial processes.

Key topics included the legacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, forensic findings, and the importance of proving specific intent in genocide investigations. The exchange aimed to provide practical insights into establishing criminal liability and managing archival records to support ongoing investigations in Ukraine.
