The Association of Witnesses and Victims of Genocide sent a letter to the High Representative of the international community in Bosnia, urging him to impose a law banning genocide denial in the country and reminding him that he promised BiH would have such a law two years ago.
Outgoing High Representative, Valentin Inzko, who is tasked with overseeing the civilian implementation of the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, has been advocating for such a law to be adopted in the country for years.
He has a special set of powers that allow him to impose such a law, but Inzko has been arguing that it would be best if the Bosnian Parliament adopts it without interference.

However, the Association reminded that Inzko promised at the Srebrenica Commemoration in 2019 that such a law will be in force in Bosnia by the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide – which was in 2020, and there is still no law.
“We know that the law is ready, waiting only for your signature. Do it for peace, for reconciliation, and especially because of the promises you made in a holy place for every Bosniak, for every serious and normal person,” the letter said.
“It is neither correct nor humane to break the promise. You have done that, as an international community (representative), countless times, at least, in the end, be consistent with the principles you advocate,” the Association of Victims and Witnesses of Genocide concluded.
