1. The resolution, proposed by Germany and Rwanda and co-sponsored by more than 30 countries, including all former Yugoslav republics except Serbia and Montenegro, **designate 11 July as “the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica, to be observed annually”**

   …. right. Carry on.

2. Does anyone take UN seriously anymore? Anyone at all?

   Let me see if I have this right… When asked if EU, and by extent UN, would retroactively re-examine events from second world war and onwards and classify some of them as ‘genocide’, the response was along the lines of “We are not oriented in the past but the future”. Then, not long after, this resolution was drafted. Also, by general rule, when voting in the UN, resolutions like this also count the abstained votes into the total number of votes. This one was an exception because it only requires the amount of countries who voted. Meaning, if 10 countries voted for and 2 voted against, it would still be considered a pass.

   The UN is a joke. It is a wonderful idea that just does not work because of the existence of the Security Council which really holds all the power. This resolution is just a desperate cry to the world that they are, vaguely, marginally relevant. If they were really relevant the UN would start resolution for occurrence in history since world war 2 when genocide occurred, but that would also account for a lot more countries, including Japan, USA, most of Arab countries and African too! This it not to mention ACTIVE acts of genocide commited by Russia, China, Palesine, Israel and USA (again I point USA because they want to be poster boys for peacekeepers yet their own documents, declassified, show how often they were directly involved in acts that led to civil wars).

   The UN is an unfunny joke based on an anecdote that those who said it are ashamed of.

3. I was just making that map 😭

4. Neighbours of Serbia that voted in favor: Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria and BiH.

5. Unbelievable it took so long to pass a watered down resolution, that doesn’t even mention the perpetrators, just because it could hurt the feelings of genocide deniers & perpetrators, if Bosniaks have a single remembrance day for what they went through. Disgustingly shameful of the 19 opposing countries.

6. Greece?

7. Why do Algeria and Morocco have the same color as Kosovo?

   And why is only Tunisia marked in Africa?

8. Cyprus how shameful.

9. Orbán cancer as usual

10. Good… now how about voting for The International Day when Allied Forces invaded Iraq under a false pretext, causing millions of deaths and never got any negative consequences ever…?

11. Usually, these kind if resolutions are pre-agreed between all involved parties and their neighbours, to have an effect. Purpose is to reconcile, preserve peace in the future and make sure these kind of horrors never happen again. This is how it was done in case of Rwanda, where African Union was making the proposal, and Rwanda itself participated in the text writing.

    Here… I don’t know. Even in Bosnia they cannot agree on anything. I don’t know if this is going to mean anything or simply incite more hatred and mistrust.

12. Yep, we are fuckin russian sucker puppets, as always. Funny after our history of the soviet terror.

13. Why is Hungary always on the wrong side of history?

14. Hungary?

15. Im from Serbia, if we are a genocide state, why are there no resolution for Jasenovac? Where are resolutions for what the other western countries did? At least own up to your doings, dont get me wrong I dont have a problem with this just the fact that is only happening to us… Peace and Love!

16. I expected this bullshit from Hungary, and potentially from Slovakia now that it’s governed by Fico, but what’s the deal with Greece and Cyprus leading both of them to abstention?

17. In moment like this i’m very happy for dissolution of Czechoslovakia (as Czech)

18. There’s 171 countries in Europe?

19. Why those two countries look like a dick and balls?

20. Orban continues to play his favorite “how many times can I vote against the WHOLE FUCKING EU and not get kicked out still” game… Round #76 and still winning. Yeyyy.

21. I’m all for acknowledging Genocide and learning from past mistakes . Real question thought , why does Croatia get to celebrate the ethnic cleansing of 250,000 Serbs from their ancestral homeland during “operation Storm” with a huge state parade every year?
