In July 1995, the Srebrenica massacre resulted in the genocide of more than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys by Bosnian Serb forces in the town of Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, during the agression.
The world's response to Srebrenica has been marked by widespread condemnation of the atrocities, international legal proceedings to hold perpetrators accountable, and ongoing debates about the effectiveness of global intervention mechanisms.
After World War II, Bosnia and Herzegovina became one of the six federal republics of Yugoslavia. Forty years of relative peace slowly started to dissolve after the death of Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito in 1980, when ethnic tensions began rising.
