On 11 July 1995, more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were brutally massacred by Bosnian Serb forces in the town of Srebrenica.
This tragic event occurred after the Serbs, under the directive of Radovan Karadžić, overran the UN-designated "safe haven."
The killings, which targeted unarmed civilians seeking refuge, represent one of the darkest moments in recent European history and have since been classified as genocide by international courts.
