That this House notes the guilty verdict against Bosnian Serb army commander Ratko Mladic for directing the Srebrenica genocide; welcomes that Mladic has finally been brought to justice 22 years after the genocide he oversaw from 11 to 22 July 1995; further notes that 8,372 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were murdered in and around Srebrenica by Bosnian Serb forces; notes that while 6,504 of the victims have been buried, over 1,800 victims have still not been found or buried; commends the tireless and ongoing work of the Missing Persons Institute of Bosnia and Herzegovina in trying to find more victims; further commends the Mothers of Srebrenica group for its campaigning and the Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial for honouring the victims; gives its full support to the excellent work done across the UK by the Remembering Srebrenica charity; praises the dignity and determination of all survivors to rebuild their lives; and hopes that the guilty verdict against Mladic can help bring them some closure.
