SARAJEVO, August 28 (FENA) – Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland said that she remains fully committed to protecting the international legal order and its key postulates, reiterating that "genocide has no place in the modern world."
She thus responded to an e-1837 petition initiated through the Parliament of Canada by the Institute for Research of Genocide Canada (IGK).
“The genocide committed in Srebrenica will not be forgotten, international law must be respected, judgments of courts enforced, perpetrators brought to justice as long as they are alive,” she said.
Such attitudes give peace and guarantee that international relations remain protected by civil law rules, and domestic law obliged to prosecute perpetrators of war crimes and genocide.
The Institute emphasized that this is actually the position of the Canadian Government which gives hope that Srebrenica genocide will never be forgotten.
As they believe in this Institute, such a response in conditions when we have not only the denial of genocide, but even the triumphalism of crimes against humanity and genocide committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina is very important.
