Summary/Abstract: After the end of the Second World War, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention) was adopted. The promise “never again” was made, inspired, above all, by the enormous scale of the crimes committed against Jews. Despite the goal of freeing humanity from such crimes, genocides have since been committed in many other areas, including the “heart” of Europe, i.e. Bosnia and Herzegovina. Unfortunately, brutal crimes, such as those against Rohingya or Uighurs, which have the characteristics of genocide crimes, have continued to be committed in the 21st century. The crime of genocide is not a crime that happens “accidentally” and is initiated by smaller groups of “paramilitary units”. It is a well-prepared state crime that has several stages, which we deal with in more detail in our work. We focus on the stage of denial of genocide against Bosniaks, especially expressed through the glorification and celebration of convicted war criminals.
