As of today, around 1,000 out of the 8,372 people killed in the #SrebrenicaGenocide remain unidentified. Over the past three years, forensic teams have examined 62 sites and recovered no remains that could be linked to a specific individual.
Our panellists shared their personal stories and insights, emphasising why casualty recording remains vital in establishing justice and providing closure for family and friends.

Yesterday, we hosted 'Silent, but not ignored. Remembering Srebrenica', an event marking 30 years since the Srebrenica Genocide. We are grateful to our panellists - Sue Black, Smajo Beso, Soren Blau, Fiona Lloyd-Davies & ECC's Director Rachel Taylor.
A mother from Srebrenica lost her sons in the genocide. 30 years later, she is still grieving.
On 23 July, we honour stories like hers — and ask why naming the dead still matters.
