Summary/Abstract: After the end of World War II, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention) was adopted. The promise was made “never again, first of all, because of the enormous scale of the crimes committed against the Jews. Despite the goal of freeing humanity from such crimes, genocides were subsequently committed in many other areas, including the “heart” of Europe, namely Bosnia and Herzegovina. Unfortunately, brutal crimes, such as those against the Rohingya or the Uighurs, which have the characteristics of genocide, have continued into the 21st century. The crime of genocide is not a crime that “randomly” occurs 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 the paper. We focus on the stage of denial of the genocide against Bosniaks, especially expressed through the glorification and celebration of convicted war criminals.
