NEGIRANJE GENOCIDA U BOSNI
Na kraju XX stoljeća u Evropi je, pred oÄima svjetske javnosti, u skladu sa, prije svega, srpskim velikodržavnim projektom - srpskom fašistiÄkom ideologijom i politikom i genocidnom zloÄinaÄkom praksom, izvršen genocid nad bosansko-hercegovaÄkim Muslimanima - Bošnjacima, zbog njihove nacionalne, etniÄke i vjerske pripadnosti, kao i zbog zauzimanja njihovog životnog prostora. Oni koji su bili u obavezi i imali mogućnosti da sprijeÄe i zaustave genocid to svjesno nisu uÄinili. Organizacija ujedinjenih nacija nije zaštitila Republiku Bosnu i Hercegovinu - svoju Älanicu, žrtvu oružane agresije i genocida. Umjesto toga, Vijeće sigurnosti, nažalost, služeći interesima velikih sila, ne samo što je propustilo da brani Bosnu, već joj je uskratilo (25. septembar 1991.) neotuÄ‘ivo pravo da se brani od agresije i genocida. Žrtve agresije i genocida su bile kažnjene embargom na oružje, Äime im je uskraćeno pravo na samoodbranu. Nametnut (SFR) Jugoslaviji, a ne Republici Bosni i Hercegovini, embargo je bio nezakonit i bez pravne snage, jer je lišio jednu suverenu zemlju, Älanicu Ujedinjenih nacija, njenog prirodnog prava na individualnu i kolektivnu samoodbranu, utvrÄ‘enu Äl. 51. Povelje Ujedinjenih nacija.
Mnogi vodeći politiÄari na Zapadu su, nažalost, zbog nacionalne, etniÄke i vjerske pripadnosti žrtava genocida (bosanski, evropski muslimani - Bošnjaci) podržavali osvajaÄki rat protiv Bosne i Hercegovine i genocid nad Bošnjacima, pri Äemu su mnogi, pored ostalog, uÄestvovali u podjeli i u uništavanju države Bosne i Hercegovine i donošenju besmislene, apsurdne i sramne Presude (Presuda MeÄ‘unarodnog suda pravde u Predmetu: Bosna i Hercegovina protiv Srbije i Crne Gore, 26. februara 2007.), koja, izmeÄ‘u ostalog, kao takva predstavlja zloÄin genocida, jer negira genocid u (svim) okupiranim mjestima u Bosni i Hercegovini i gradovima u opsadi, izuzev u sigurnoj zoni Ujedinjenih nacija - Srebrenici, jula 1995, i oslobaÄ‘a Srbiju i Crnu Goru (Saveznu Republiku Jugoslaviju) od odgovornosti za izvršeni genocid. Nažalost, najveći broj zapadnih intelektualaca je bio ambivalentan po pitanju spreÄavanja i zaustavljanja velikosrpske (i velikohrvatske) agresije i genocida nad nedužnim i golorukim civilima. Na sliÄnu pojavu je, poslije Drugog svjetskog rata ukazao Adorno, pitanjem “Kako je moguća poezija poslije Aušvica?”. SliÄno pitanje je devedesetih godina XX stoljeća postavio jedan poznati istraživaÄ Tomas Kuschman: “Kako je ideja Evrope moguća nakon Bosne”, odnosno genocida u Bosni i Hercegovini na kraju XX stoljeća.
Negiranje (kolektivno i pojedinaÄno) genocida (neprihvatanje - odbijanje prihvatanja Äinjenica o izvršenom genocidu) je, prema istraživanjima poznatih nauÄnih autoriteta holokausta i genocida, posljednja faza genocida, koja uvijek prati taj najteži oblik zloÄina protiv ÄovjeÄnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava i može trajati (veoma) dugo nakon izvršenog genocida.
Genocid je izrazito složena empirijska pojava društvene stvarnosti, dinamiÄna struktuirana i razvojna pojava, u Äijem se sadržaju nalaze brojni i raznovrsni Äinioci, koji su aktuelno, potencijalno i perspektivno predmet nauÄnih istraživanja i izuÄavanja brojnih, raznorodnih i raznovrsnih nauka i nauÄnih disciplina. S tim u vezi, može se govoriti o raznim dimenzijama i aspektima društvenog i nauÄnog interesovanja i interesa i nauÄnih saznanja do kojih se dolazi kroz proces nauÄnih istraživanja u okvirima raznih i raznovrsnih nauka i nauÄnih disciplina.
Gеnоcid је, pо dеfiniciјi, najteži, najkompleksniji i najgnusniji oblik zloÄina u historiji ÄovjeÄanstva i jedan od najsloženijih društvenih procesa i pojava, projiciran u vremenu i prostoru kao proces koji je rezultat kolektivne ideologije, politike i prakse, koji ima svoje faze, sistematski i planski karakter, širi kontekst, dinamiku i intenzitet i koji se vrši u kontinuitetu (nad nezaštićenim, bespomoćnim, nedužnim i nenaoružanim žrtvama, odabranim samo zato što pripadaju nekoj, po meÄ‘unarodnom pravu, zaštićenoj grupi, koja je meta napada samo zbog takve pripadnosti), kao niz meÄ‘usobno funkcionalno povezanih razliÄitih djelâ, poÄinjenih od velikog broja organizovano udruženih uÄesnika u procesu koji karakteriše planiranje, pripremanje, organizovanje i izvoÄ‘enje, uz potpunu saglasnost, koordinaciju, neposredno uÄešÄ‡e i kontrolu najviših državnih organa vlasti, što je karakteristiÄno i za genocid nad Bošnjacimu u Bosni i Hercegovini na kraju XX stoljeća. Nesumnjivo je da se radi o pojavi koju najneposrednije proizvodi i iza koje stoji najmoćniji politiÄki subjekt - država, koja planira, priprema, organizuje i usmjerava (neposredno i posredno) masovno (masovnije) uÄešÄ‡e naroda (bez masovnog uÄešÄ‡a stanovništva genocid nije moguć, jer je to pojava, koja, pored ostalog, podrazumijeva masovnost, kako na strani žrtve, tako i kolektivitet na strani izvršioca), koga (narod) organizuje (država) na legalne i/ili ilegalne naÄine, koji (narod) je direktno ukljuÄen u (iz)vršenje genocida i drugih oblika zloÄina protiv ÄovjeÄnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava. Kada je rijeÄ, primjera radi, o masovnom uÄešÄ‡u naroda u genocidu, tako je samo u genocidu nad Bošnjacima Bosne i Hercegovine u sigurnoj zoni Ujedinjenih nacija Srebrenici, jula 1995, prema istraživanjima Vlade Republike Srpske, uÄestvovalo (po raznim osnovama i na razne naÄine) preko 25.000 Srba.
Negiranje genocida je valjan i pouzdan indikator koji ukazuje da je genocid izvršen. Negiranje ima razliÄite motive: ideološke, strateške i druge, pri Äemu su posljedice po (i za) žrtve uvijek tragiÄne.
Negiranje genocida je zloÄin (genocida), koji se odvija u dvije faze: tokom Äinjenja zloÄina i nakon izvršenja zloÄina. Negiranje ima za cilj da: - svjesno i namjerno falsifikuje Äinjenice, posebno u vezi sa uzrocima, ciljevima i karakterom rata (insistiranje na graÄ‘anskom ratu, umjesto meÄ‘unarodnom oružanom sukobu), te prirodom zloÄina (insistiranje na “etniÄkom ÄišÄ‡enju”, umjesto genocidu); - izjednaÄi izvršioce genocida i žrtve; - namjerno dezinformiše i obmani domaću i meÄ‘unarodnu javnost; - ukaže na postojanje više razliÄitih (ratujućih) strana i njihovu podjednaku krivicu i odgovornost; - izvršioci izbjegnu odgovornost za genocid; - prikaže izvršioce kao heroje, koji se navodno bore za pravednu stvar, kao što je to, primjera radi, po srpskoj “kulturi” mržnje i nasilja istrebljenje muslimana, ukljuÄujući i Bošnjake, sveti i herojski Äin, Äime je genocid postao dio porodiÄne tradicije i herojska srpska prošlost; - ohrabri izvršenje genocida; - demonizira žrtve i prikaže ih kao izvršioce zloÄina; - prikriva, minimizira i relativizira genocid, posebno Äinjenice o broju i statusu žrtava, pri Äemu se ublažavaju planska i sistematska masovna i pojedinaÄna ubistva; - održi prisustvo genocidne ideologije, politike i prakse, itd.
Krajem XX i poÄetkom XXI stoljeća sve su prisutniji mnogobrojni i raznovrsni historijski falsifikati iz politiÄkih i ideoloških razloga, kojima se iznose neistinite Äinjenice o dogaÄ‘ajima na zapadnom Balkanu, posebno Bosni i Hercegovini na kraju XX stoljeća, kojima se oni tumaÄe, bez oslonca na dokumentacionu i arhivsku graÄ‘u i konstruišu politiÄke istine primjerene aktuelnim okolnostima. Nažalost, na sceni je prisutna najbezoÄnija zloupotreba nauke od strane nauÄnika bez moralnog lika i odgovornosti, kao i od kvazi nauÄnika - istraživaÄa. To je posebno svojstveno velikosrpskim intelektualcima i politiÄarima, koji grade i formiraju osnove za ideologiju, politiku i praksu genocida.
Srpski nacionalisti i dalje istrajavaju na ostvarivanju i sprovoÄ‘enju srpskog velikodržavnog projekta, uvjereni da će u promijenjenim meÄ‘unarodnim okolnostima ostvariti nacistiÄki i genocidni plan - ujedinjenje svih “srpskih” zemalja (“zaokruživanje svih srpskih zemalja”) i srpskog naroda (“ujedinjenje Srpstva”), odnosno formiranje jedinstvene srpske države - Velike Srbije. U tom procesu ostvarivanja aktivnosti koriste se politiÄke metode i sredstva djelovanja primjerene novonastalim okolnostima (uslovima). U okviru navedenog procesa naglašeno se pod uticaj velikosrpske ideologije i politike, koristi i nauka/e. Nju jednim imenom možemo oznaÄiti kao službena nauka, koja ima zadatak da obezbijedi “argumente” kojima dokazuje svoje teze o potrebi izgraÄ‘ivanja, konstruisanja i formiranja jedinstvene velikosrpske države.
ZnaÄajan dio srpske politiÄke i intelektualne (svjetovne i duhovne) elite, posebno u Srbiji i entitetu Republika Srpska (u Bosni i Hercegovini), u skladu sa velikosrpskom genocidnom ideologijom, politikom i praksom, kao i jedan broj njihovih istomišljenika - kvazi istraživaÄa na Zapadu, skoro dvije pune decenije uporno prikriva, minimizira, relativizira, osporava, poriÄe i negira genocid nad Bošnjacima u Bosni i Hercegovini, ukljuÄujući i na podruÄju sigurne zone Ujedinjenih nacija - Srebrenici, jula 1995; permanentno i kontinuirano izjednaÄava žrtve genocida i izvršioce (zloÄince), te proglašava žrtve agresije i genocida zloÄincima, kako bi izmijenila karakter oružanog sukoba i prirodu zloÄina u Bosni i Hercegovini, s ciljem da meÄ‘unarodni oružani sukob (agresiju) “prekvalifikuje” u graÄ‘anski rat, a zloÄin genocida u “etniÄko ÄišÄ‡enje”, manipuliše žrtvama genocida, pri Äemu se posebno angažuju kvazi istraživaÄi; obmanjuje domaću i meÄ‘unarodnu javnost lažnim epsko-mitskim tezama: - o Bosni i Hercegovini kao “srpskoj zemlji”, a Bošnjacima kao “Srbima islamske vjeroispovijesti”; - o tome da fašistiÄki, kolaboracionistiÄki, izdajniÄki i zloÄinaÄki pokret Draže Mihailovića ima antifašistiÄki karakter; - da su za raspad SocijalistiÄke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije krive tzv. secesionistiÄke republike (Republika Slovenija i Republika Hrvatska), vatikansko-njemaÄko-ameriÄka zavjera protiv Srba i islamski fundamentalizam; - da je u Republici Bosni i Hercegovini voÄ‘en graÄ‘anski rat, unutrašnji sukob izmeÄ‘u tri strane, a ne zloÄin protiv mira, odnosno klasiÄna oružana agresija (meÄ‘unarodni oružani sukob) Srbije i Crne Gore/Savezne Republike Jugoslavije (kao i Republike Hrvatske) na Republiku Bosnu i Hercegovinu, te umjesto genocida koriste pojam i termin “etniÄko ÄišÄ‡enje”, u kome su tri strane (podjednako) vršile zloÄine, pri Äemu jedni negiraju postojanje srpskog velikodržavnog projekta, a drugi mu odriÄu odredbu fašistiÄkog i zloÄinaÄkog karaktera, itd. itd. RijeÄ je o smišljenom, planskom i sistematskom napadu na istinu o dogaÄ‘ajima u Republici Bosni i Hercegovini na kraju XX stoljeća i sjećanju na žrtve genocida. Time je, pored ostalog, ljudsko dostojanstvo povrijeÄ‘eno negiranjem genocida, kao što je povrijeÄ‘eno Äinjenjem tih zloÄina i falsifikovanjem historijskih Äinjenica, lažima i propagandi, što prelazi u stepen odvratnosti. Svaki razuman i civilizovan Äovjek i antifašista je užasnut Äinjenicom negiranja genocida nad Bošnjacima i uopšte genocid u historiji bilo gdje na svijetu. Zbog toga se naš odgovor mora zasnivati na ÄinjeniÄnim i empirijskim podacima, o Äemu je neophodno blagovremeno, potpuno, objektivno i jasno informisati najširu domaću i meÄ‘unarodnu javnost o pojavi negiranja genocida i uopšte o genocidu.
Historijska je Äinjenica (zasnovana na mnogobrojnim relevantnim dokumentima razliÄite provenijencije), pored ostalog, sljedeća: - prvo, srpski nacizam je, za razliku od srpskog antifašizma, ponovo - tokom posljednje decenije XX stoljeća - generirao najteže zloÄine, ukljuÄujući i genocid nad Bošnjacima, koga je, kao i agresiju protiv Republike Bosne i Hercegovine, planirala, pripremila, organizovala, naredila, vodila i (iz)vršila država Savezna Republika Jugoslavija (Srbija i Crna Gora) i njihovi kolaboracionisti i petokolonaši (agresija Republike Hrvatske protiv Republike Bosne i Hercegovine i (njeni) drugi oblici zloÄina protiv ÄovjeÄnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava nad Bošnjacima nisu predmet u ovom izlaganju);
- drugo, entitet Republika Srpska je genocidna tvorevina velikosrpskog nacizma, odnosno države Savezne Republike Jugoslavije /Srbije i Crne Gore (Republika Srpska je nasljeÄ‘e genocida - ona je nacional-socijalistiÄka/nacistiÄka genocidna tvorevina), nastala na teškim kršenjima meÄ‘unarodnog humanitarnog prava, obilježena i natopljena, uglavnom, bošnjaÄkom krvlju, te omeÄ‘ena i prekrivena brojnim masovnim grobnicama i koncentracionim logorima, u kojoj legalno djeluju fašistiÄke organizacije. PolitiÄko rukovodstvo i druge strukture Republike Srpske, u skladu sa velikosrpskom genocidnom ideologijom, politikom i praksom, falsifikuju historijske Äinjenice i negiraju genocid nad Bošnjacima, te na sve moguće naÄine opstruiraju jaÄanje države Bosne i Hercegovine i konstantno sprovode politiku secesije, uništavanja i uništenja države Bosne i Hercegovine;
- treće, Dejtonski sporazum je legalizovao velikosrpsku nacistiÄku ideologiju, politiku i praksu, genocidnog karaktera. On je, pored ostalog, promijenio i ime države (Republika Bosna i Hercegovina), iskljuÄivši iz naziva rijeÄ Republika, dodjeljujući ga zloÄincima kao nagradu za izvršeni genocid. Iz struktura entiteta Republike Srpske nisu odstranjene snage koje su uÄestvovale u agresiji i genocidu, ukljuÄujući i u genocidu nad Bošnjacima u i oko sigurne zone Ujedinjenih nacija - Srebrenici, jula 1995, što potvrÄ‘uju rezultati istraživanja Vlade Republike Srpske, kao što je to bio sluÄaj sa izvršenom denacifikacijom u NjemaÄkoj nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, pa su one ostale politiÄki aktivne i danas otvoreno uništavaju državu Bosnu i Hercegovinu.
Sveti je zadatak i odgovornost istraživaÄa, nauÄnika i intelektualaca da govore istinu i razotkrivaju falsifikate, laži i obmane u vezi sa genocidom i drugim oblicima zloÄina protiv ÄovjeÄnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava, ukljuÄujući i negiranje genocida. O genocidu ne smije biti šutnje ni ravnodušnosti. Stoga je obaveza istraživaÄa, kako to piše nobelovac, Elie Wiesel, da govore u ime žrtava genocida, podsjećaju na njihove patnje i suze i potiskuju strah od zaborava.
Ukupnom istraživaÄkom djelatnošÄ‡u, istraživaÄkim naporima, poduhvatima i rezultatima kroz organizovan, ciljan, sistematiÄan, permanentan i kontinuiran rad istraživaÄi dolaze do nauÄnih saznanja, odnosno nauÄne istine, koju blagovremeno i adekvatno predstavljaju domaćoj i meÄ‘unarodnoj javnosti, Äime opominju na brojne, raznovrsne, raznomjesne i raznovremene razmjere holokausta, genocida i drugih oblika zloÄina protiv ÄovjeÄnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava, što je jedan od mogućih adekvatnih preventivnih strateških oblika aktivnosti.
Istražujući (nauÄno-teorijski i nauÄno-empirijski) genocid i druge oblike zloÄina protiv ÄovjeÄnosti i meÄ‘unarodnog prava, nauÄnici - istraživaÄi istovremeno dižu glas protiv genocida i upućuju poruku koja će bitno utjecati i djelovati na svijest i moral moćnika, kako bi spasili savremeno ÄovjeÄanstvo i civilizaciju, oÄuvali najviše ljudske vrijednosti, ljudske slobode, ljudska prava i živote svih, a posebno malih, slabih i nemoćnih ljudskih grupa, zajednica i narodâ. Sadašnje i buduće generacije iz svih dosadašnjih zloÄina genocida moraju konaÄno u interesu budućnosti savremenog svijeta i civilizacije, izvući historijsku pouku o potrebi jaÄanja, razvijanja i ujedinjavanja svih antifašistiÄkih snaga, bez obzira na nacionalnu, etniÄku, rasnu, vjersku, ideološku ili politiÄku pripadnost i opredijeljenost u strategiji spreÄavanja i kažnjavanja zloÄina genocida.

DENIAL OF GENOCIDE IN BOSNIA
At the end of 20th century, in Europe, before the eyes of the world public, in accordance with primarily Serbian great-state project – the Serbian fascist ideology and politics and genocidal criminal practice, the genocide was committed against the Bosnia and Herzegovina Muslims – Bosniacs due to their national, ethnic, and religious affiliation, as well as to take over their living space. Those who had an obligation and opportunity to prevent and stop the genocide, intentionally failed to do so. The UN failed to protect the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina – its member, a victim of the armed aggression and genocide. Instead, the UNSC, unfortunately, serving the interests of great powers, not only missed to defend Bosnia, but it rather deprived it (25 September 1991) from its irrevocable right to defend itself from the aggression and genocide. Victims of aggression and genocide were punished with the arms embargo, which denied the right to self-defense. Imposed upon (SFR) Yugoslavia, not the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, embargo was illegitimate and without any legal force, because it deprived a sovereign state, a member of the UN, from its natural right to individual and collective self-defense, provided in Article 51 of the UN Charter.
Numerous leading Western politicians, unfortunately, due to their national, ethnic, and religious affiliation of the genocide victims (Bosnian, European Muslims – Bosniacs) supported the aggressive war against Bosnia and Herzegovina and genocide against Bosniacs, while many of them , unfortunately, took part in the division and destruction of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the adoption of senseless, absurd, and shameful Judgment (ICJ Judgment in the case: Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Serbia and Montenegro dated 26 February 2007), which, among other things, represent the crime of genocide, because it denies genocide in (all) the occupied places in Bosnia and Herzegovina, towns under siege, except for the UN safe area - Srebrenica, July 1995, and it exonerates Serbia and Montenegro (Federal Republic Yugoslavia) from the responsibility for the genocide. Unfortunately, the biggest number of western intellectuals was ambivalent in terms of prevention and stopping of great-Serbian (and great-Croatian) aggression and genocide against innocent and barehanded civilians. Adorno pointed to a similar phenomenon after the WWII, with his question “How can the poetry be possible after Auswitz?”. Similar question was raised in the late nineties of the 20th century by a known scholar Tomas Kuschman: “How can the idea of Europe be possible after Bosnia”, that is, genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of the 20th century.
Denial (collective and individual) of genocide (non acceptance – refusal to accept the fact on genocide), according to the scholars and the authorities of Holocaust and genocide, is the last stage of genocide, which always accompanies that gravest form of crimes against humanity and international law and it can last (so) long after the genocide.
Genocide is extremely complex empirical phenomenon of societal reality, dynamic structural and development phenomenon, in whose contents are numerous and versatile factors, which are currently, potentially, and prosperously subjects of scientific studies and research of numerous, versatile, and different sciences and scientific disciplines. In this regard, various dimensions and aspects of societal and scientific interest could be discussed, as well as scientific findings, which can only be reached through the process of scientific study within various and versatile sciences and scientific disciplines.
Genocide, by its definition the gravest, most complex, and the most heinous form of crime in the history of mankind, and one of the most complex social processes and phenomena, projected in time and space as a process resulting from the collective ideology, politics and practice, has its stages, systematic and planning character, a broad context, dynamics, and intensity, carried out continuously (against unprotected, helpless, innocent, and unarmed victims, selected only because they belong to one of the protected groups, according to the international law, which is the target only because of their affiliation), in form of mutually functionally connected different actions, committed by a large number of organized participants in the process which characterizes the planning, preparation, organization, and execution, along with a full support, coordination, direct engagement, and control by the highest state authorities, which is also characteristic for the genocide against Bosniacs in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of the 20th century. It is clear that this is a phenomenon which is directly produced and protected by the most powerful political subjects – state which plans, prepares, organizes, and directs (directly and indirectly) massive involvement of people. Without the massive involvement of population, genocide cannot be possible, given that this is a phenomenon that also understands the massive character, both on the side of the victim and the perpetrator, who (people) is organized (state) in a legitimate and/or illegitimate ways, which (people) is directly engaged in the perpetration of genocide and other forms of crimes against humanity and international law. Talking about the massive engagement of people in genocide, only the genocide against Bosniacs in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the UN safe area Srebrenica in July 1995, according to the study of the Republika Srpska Government, engaged (on various bases and ways) over 25,000 Serbs.
Denial of genocide is a valid and reliable indicator, which suggests that the genocide is committed. Denial has different motives: ideological, strategic, socio-political and others, whereas the consequences for the victims are always tragic.
Denial of genocide is a crime (of genocide), which takes place in two stages: during the commission and after the commission. Denial aims to willfully and intentionally forges the facts, especially in relation to causes, objective and the character of war (insisting on a civil war instead of international armed conflict), and the nature of crime (insisting on “ethnic cleansing”, instead of genocide); - equalizing genocide perpetrators and victims; - intentionally misinform and deceive the domestic and international public; - suggest the existence of several (warring) parties and their equal guilt and responsibility; - evade responsibility for genocide; - show the perpetrators as heroes, who allegedly fight for a just cause, such as the case in the Serbian “culture” of hatred and violence the extermination of Muslims, including Bosniacs, a holy and heroic act, with which the genocide turned into a part of family tradition and heroic Serbia history, in which from one to another generation the criminals are considered heroes; - encourage genocide; - demonizes victims and show them as the perpetrators of crimes; - conceal, minimizes, relativize the genocide, especially the fact on the number and the status of victims, while minimizing the planned and systematic massive and individual murders; - maintain the genocidal ideology, politics, and practice.
The end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century are full of numerous and different historic forgeries, motivated by political and ideological grounds, which present untruthful facts on the events in the West Balkans, especially Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are interpreted, free of any documents or archives, and used to design political truths applicable to current circumstances. Unfortunately, this is the obvious abuse of science conducted by some scholars without any scruples and accountability, and the quasi scholars. This is particularly so with the great-Serbian intellectuals and politicians who build and establish their bases for ideology, politics and the practice of genocide.
The Serbian nationalists still insist on fulfillment of great-Serbian project, convinced that in the changed international conditions they could achieve their Nazi and genocidal plan – unification of all “Serbian” countries (“rounding up of all Serbian states”) and the Serbian people (“unification of Serbianhood”), that is, the establishment of a single Serbian state- Great Serbia. In this process of implementation of their activities, they use the political methods and tools applicable to newly emerging circumstances (conditions.). It is emphasized in this process that the science is misused under the umbrella of the great-Serbian ideology and politics. It could be named an official science, with the task to secure “arguments” to corroborate their theses on the need to build and establish a single great-Serbian state.
A significant part of the Serbian political and intellectual (societal and spiritual) elite, especially in Serbia and the entity Republika Srpska (in Bosnia and Herzegovina), in accordance with the great-Serbian genocidal ideology, politics and practice, and a number of their counterparts – quasi scholars from the West, have persistently tried for almost two decades to conceal, minimize, relativize, contest, deny genocide against Bosniacs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the one in the territory of the UN safe area – Srebrenica in July 1995; permanently and continuously equalize the genocide victims and perpetrators (criminals), and declare aggression and genocide victims the criminals to change the character and nature of crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the objective to turn international armed conflict (aggression) into civil war, and crime of genocide into “ethnic cleansing”; manipulate with the genocide victims, especially the number and the status of victims (instead of civilian and combatant, the notions civilian and soldier are used), while and use the quasi scholars for that purpose; keep quiet about the historic reality, and personal responsibility in planning, preparation, and execution of crime of genocide; deceive the domestic and international public with (false) epic-mythology theses: - on Bosnia and Herzegovina as a “Serbian state”, and Bosniacs as “Serbs of Islamic religion”; - that the fascist, collaborationist, traitor, and criminal movement of Draža Mihailović has antifascist character; - that the secessionist Republics (Slovenia and Croatia) are to be blamed for the fall of Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, as well as Vatican and German and American conspiracy against Serbs, and the Islamic fundamentalism; - that there was a civil war in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the internal conflict between three sides, rather than the crime against peace or a classic aggression (international armed conflict) by Serbia and Montenegro / Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (as well as the Republic of Croatia) against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they use “ethnic cleansing“ instead of genocide, in which all three sides equally share the responsibility, while some deny the idea of great-Serbian project, others the fascist and criminal character, etc. etc. this is a designed, planned, and systematic attack against the truth on the events in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of the 20th century and a memory to the genocide victims. The genocide denial also hurts the human dignity, which was already hurt by the commission of these crimes and falsifying the historic facts, lies and propaganda, which is transformed now to a form of disgust. Any reasonable and civilized human being and antifascist is horrified with the denial of genocide committed against Bosniacs, and genocide in general. That is why our answer has to be based on facts and empiric data, and the public, domestic and international, has to be timely, fully, objectively, and clearly informed about it, the genocide denial and genocide in general.
It is also the historic fact (based on numerous relevant documents of various provenience): - firstly, the Serbian Nazism, unlike the Serbian antifascism, has again during the last decade of the 20th century generated the worst crimes, including genocide against Bosniacs, which was, just like the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, planned, prepared, organized, ordered, pursued and committed by the state of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and their collaborationists and the fifth column (aggression by the Republic of Croatia against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and other forms of crimes against humanity and international law committed against Bosniacs are not subject of this paper);
- secondly, the entity Republika Srpska is a genocidal creation of the great-Serbian Nazism, that is, the state of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia / Serbia and Montenegro (Republika Srpska is a legacy of genocide – it is a national-socialist/Nazi creation), emerged on grave violations of international humanitarian law, marked and soaked in, mainly, Bosniac blood, and covered and bordered with numerous mass graves and concentration camps, in which fascist organizations legally function. Political leadership and other structures of the Republika Srpska, in accordance with the great-Serbian genocidal ideology, politics, and practice, falsify historic facts and deny genocide against Bosniacs, and obstruct by all possible means the strengthening of Bosnia and Herzegovina and they continuously pursue the politics of secession and destruction of the state Bosnia and Herzegovina;
- thirdly, the Dayton Agreement legalized great-Serbian Nazi ideology, politics, and practice of genocidal character. It, among other things, changed the name of the internationally recognized state (Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina), eliminating fro its name the word Republic, while giving it to the criminals as a reward for genocide. The structures of the entity Republika Srpska did not eliminate the forces which took part in the aggression and genocide including the genocide against Bosniacs in and around the UN safe area – Srebrenica in July 1995, which was confirmed by the results of the Republika Srpska Government research, as it was the case with the denazification of Germany following the WWII, and thus they remained politically active and still today openly destroy the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It has been the holy duty and responsibility of scholars, scientists, and intellectuals to speak the truth and detect the forgeries, lies, and deceptions related to genocide and other forms of crimes against humanity and international law, including the genocide denial. There cannot be silence or irrelevance on genocide. Thus, t is the duty of scholars, as Nobel prize winner Elie Wiesel writes, to speak on behalf of genocide victims, remind of their suffering and tears and suppress the fear of oblivion.
With the comprehensive research activity, efforts, endeavors, and results, through organized, targeted, systematic, and continuous work, the scholars gain new scientific findings and the truth, which they adequately and timely present to the domestic and international public, and therefore indicate numerous, versatile, in different area and areas, and different extents of Holocaust, genocide, and other forms of crimes against humanity and international law, which is one of potential adequate preventive and strategic forms of activities.
Analyzing, scientifically, theoretically, and empirically, the genocide and other forms of crimes against humanity and international law, the scientist – scholars at the same time raise their voice against genocide and send their message which will significantly influence and affect the world and morality of the powerful to save the modern mankind and civilization, maintain the highest human values, human freedoms, human rights and lives of all, especially the small and weak human groups, communities and nations. The current and future generations have to learn the historic lesson from all the known genocides, in the interest of future of the modern world and civilization, on the need to strengthen, develop and unify all the antifascist forces, irrespective of their national, ethnic, racial, religious, ideological or political affiliation, and their commitment in the strategy of prevention and punishment of crime of genocide.
