Abstract

The year 2025 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. This article aims to revisit and give an overview of the critical points of the judgment in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina v Serbia and Montenegro (Judgment), related to the application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide that was conducted before the International Court of Justice. The case (also known as the Bosnia v Serbia case) was brought to an end by the Judgment in 2007, drawing a mixed response. The main points of contention in the Judgment are related to the question of reparations, as well as the standards used to ascertain the attributability of the acts of non-state actors for the breaches of rules of international law. Additionally, the very issue of how the case was brought to an end was another source of criticism, as it was finally concluded with the rejection of the revision request. The article will also briefly discuss other issues connected to the perception and understanding of the Judgment. By using case study and content analysis methods, certain contradictions in the Judgment are identified and presented after the analysis.
