  • Gideon Greif: ... after a thorough investigation... that neither the individual crime of genocide nor genocide in general took place in Srebrenica


Israeli academic Gideon Greif was the head of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry (Greif Report). The commission was set up at the initiative of Milorad Dodik (Serb nationalist leader), a former prime minister, then president of Republika Srpska and now the Serb member of the tripartite presidency of Bosnia. The commission was formally appointed by consecutive decisions (04/1-012-2-345/19 and 04/1-012-2-346/19) “of the Government of Republika Srpska … dated February 7, 2019.”

The report concludes “after a thorough investigation . . . that neither the individual crime of genocide nor genocide in general took place in Srebrenica” and that “there is no indication that there was a special intent to commit genocide. Furthermore, no substantial part of the protected group of Muslims in Bosnia was destroyed.” (Greif Report, p. 86.)
