Bill > SCR2

This resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, a tragic event that occurred during the Bosnian War in July 1995 when over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were systematically killed by Bosnian Serb forces. The resolution designates July 11, 2025, as "Srebrenica Genocide Remembrance Day" in Missouri to honor the memory of those who perished and stand in solidarity with survivors and victims' families. It recognizes the contributions of the Bosnian community in Missouri, particularly their efforts to raise awareness about the genocide, and encourages continued educational initiatives to ensure future generations understand this historical tragedy. The resolution also reaffirms the Missouri General Assembly's commitment to human rights, justice, and genocide prevention, and calls upon all Missourians to support these principles. Additionally, it demonstrates solidarity with other states and the U.S. Congress in acknowledging the Srebrenica genocide, and instructs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute inscribed copies of the resolution to key national and international leaders as an expression of shared commitment to remembrance and justice.
