Genocide during war is a serious problem that causes millions of civilian deaths. The Srebrenica genocide in 1995 had a big impact on ending the Bosnian War and shaping peace between different ethnic groups. War can make genocide more likely by creating conditions for mass killings. After the war, victims' communities seek recognition and justice, while perpetrators often deny their actions. Genocide can be used to strengthen national identity and political power. However, these conflicts over history and identity can make it hard for Bosnia to achieve lasting peace.
