Flower of Srebrenica - Permanent Memorial to the Victims of the Genocide | United Nations

The United Nations has unveiled the “Flower of Srebrenica” memorial, honoring the victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide. Gifted by Bosnia and Herzegovina, this powerful symbol serves as a space for remembrance, reflection, and learning for all who visit. The memorial stands beside another significant site at UN Headquarters — the Kwibuka flame, which commemorates the victims and survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. As Denis Bećirović, Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, stated: “The monuments to the genocide committed in the heart of Europe and in the heart of Africa are witness to the truth, but also warn humanity to never again allow genocide to be repeated.” This video explores the meaning behind these memorials, the history they represent, and why remembering past atrocities is essential to preventing future ones.
