The draft letter
Dear Honourable Ambassador,
We are writing to you on behalf of the (ime organizacije) and the Bosnian community in ( ime drzave) and diaspora worldwide to kindly request the Government of (ime drzave) to support the proposal for the General Assembly of the United Nations to recognize 11 July as an official International Day of Remembrance of the victims of the Srebrenica Genocide worldwide. The Srebrenica Genocide, which took place in July 1995 during the Bosnian War, stands as one of the darkest chapters in recent history. It resulted in the massacre of more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys by Bosnian Serb forces despite the town being declared a “safe area” by the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). The brutality and scale of the atrocities committed in the Srebrenica genocide – legally established by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the International Court of Justice, and domestic courts – shocked the world and underscored the urgent need for international intervention to prevent future crimes against humanity. Recognizing 11 July as an International Day of Remembrance would serve as a solemn reminder of the need to prevent genocide and other mass atrocities, honour the victims and survivors of Srebrenica, and reaffirm our collective commitment to upholding human rights and the rule of law. It would also provide an opportunity for educational initiatives, commemorative events, and initiatives to promote reconciliation and tolerance.

As a member of the United Nations, (ime drzave) has a responsibility to support initiatives that seek to prevent genocide and honour the memory of its victims. By endorsing the proposal for an International Day of Remembrance of the victims of the Srebrenica Genocide, ( ime drzave) will join the international community in honouring the memory of the victims of the Srebrenica Genocide and reaffirming our shared commitment to preventing such atrocities from ever happening again, ( ime drzave) will also demonstrate its commitment to remembering the past, promoting reconciliation, and building a more peaceful and inclusive world for future generations. We, therefore, call upon the Government of
( ime drzave)to actively support this proposal and advocate for its adoption by the General Assembly of the United Nations.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We trust that (ime drzave ) will continue to lead in advancing human rights and justice on the global stage.

Sincerely,
