Srebrenica Memorial Center and Ukraine cooperation

Overview

The Srebrenica Memorial Center has established a cooperation framework with Ukrainian institutions to exchange expertise on memorialization, human rights, and the documentation of war crimes.

Initial efforts involved visits to various Ukrainian organizations, including the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, the Holodomor National Museum, and the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center. These meetings focused on archival research, museum work, and the presentation of victims' experiences to the public, aiming to combine Bosnia and Herzegovina’s experience in institutionalizing remembrance with Ukraine’s real-time documentation of the ongoing war.

Following these initial visits, the Center conducted presentations in Kyiv for Ukrainian prosecutors and activists, such as the Center for Civil Liberties. These sessions provided practical insights into methodologies for collecting data, working with witnesses, and the legal complexities of proving specific intent in genocide investigations, drawing on the legacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
