Hungary joined the nagators of the genocide in Srebrenica.
Hungary’s decision to vote against the UNGA Resolution deeply worries the civilized world and especially the friends of truth, justice and the culture of remembrance of the greatest crime after World War the Second, the genocide in Srebrenica.
A shameful and anti-civilization move by Hungary that means nothing for the process of adopting of the UNGA Resolution, because it will be adopted. But it means that by denying international justice, international courts and their final judgments, Hungary places itself on the historical pillar of anti-civilizational shame.
Hungary plays with the feelings of the survivors of genocide by rejecting respect for the rule of law. The restoration of respect for the rule of law is imperative for the realization of justice and lasting peace in a post-genocide society.
By voting against of the UNGA Resolution, Hungary rejects the contribution to respecting the memory of the victims of the genocide and rejects the confirmation of the truth about the genocide. In this way, it opposes the cultivation of the culture of memory and the support of reconciliation and lasting peace in BiH and the region.
By voting against the Resolution, the current Hungarian political establishment has closed access to the Genocide Memorial Center in Srebrenica. Institute For Research of Genocide Canada will ask the competent authorities to ban the current political establishment of Hungary from entering the Genocide Memorial Center in Srebrenica. At the same time, we call on the pro-Bosnian political leaders in BiH to reconsider state relations with Hungary.
