If a denial of facts and manipulation of history continues, then the stage is set for repeated violence
, “any survivor of genocide will tell you that disbelieving or dismissing their experience is a continuation of genocide. A genocide denier is an apologist for the next genocide.”
Bosnian Serb leaders like Milorad Dodik frequently cite figures as low as 2,000 victims and deploy numerous conspiracy theories to explain the discrepancy in death toll calculations. One core component of this revisionist discourse has been role reversal, whereby a Serbian victimhood is constructed and Srebrenica depicted as a “war for liberation.”
He points out how TV shows and popular journalists regularly host talks shows with sentenced war criminals like Vojislav Seselj, and make jokes about the genocide and the collective burials of Muslim victims on July 11. The 2016 election of Mladen Grujic as the first Serb mayor of post-war Srebrenica has emboldened Serb nationalist elements as well, given that Grujic openly espouses genocide denial.
Moreover, an alarming expansion of denial can now be witnessed within the Western academic and literary spheres at the highest level. Halilovich underscores how Srebrenica has been widely adopted as an “ideological pillar by the far-right across the world” and “provided inspiration to the two largest massacres by white supremacists in recent times: Norway in 2011 and New Zealand in 2019.”To achieve any significant pathway towards reconciliation in the face of an entrenched denial industry, must first mean coming to terms its normalisation.
