Summary/Abstract: Srebrenica, which was located on the eastern part of Bosnia-Herzegovina according to borders drawn by Dayton Peace Accord, witnessed the most dramatic tragedy of the recent history. In the last days of the Bosnian War, Srebrenica, where eight thousand people were massacred, went down in the history as the biggest mass destruction after the World War II. International society, which had been relatively hesitant since the beginning of the war, cannot force the war criminals to pay the bill of the Srebrenica genocide as they could not prevent. On 26th of 2007, International Court of Justice accepted Srebrenica massacres as genocide. However the Court decided that Serbia cannot be blamed for responsibility.
