Summary/Abstract: The aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and occupation of its large part from 1992 to 1995, is the part of the Great Serbian project that is a continuation of conquering-expansionist and genocidal policy towards Bosnia and especially against Bosniaks. In order to achieve the traced plans, the most massive and the most heinous crimes were committed. This was a try, not only physical destruction, but the collapse of the identity of a nation. In this criminal feast more than 100,000 people were killed, mostly civilians; about 30,000 women, girls, boys and men were raped and sexually abused; about 650 concentration camps and other detention facilities were formed through which passed about 200,000 inmates, including women, children and elderly people - about 30,000 people in them were killed; there were more than 700 mass graves. Around 2.2 million people were expelled from their homes that are for more than half of the total population. More than 30,000 people were forcibly disappeared. All forms and proportions of the crimes are denied and negated. Negationism as the final phase of the genocidal process "makes to the witness what the criminal did to the victim."
