Srebrenica Genocide Remembrance Act of 2025
S. 2184, the Srebrenica Genocide Remembrance Act of 2025, would designate July 11 as a National Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Srebrenica Genocide. The bill adds a new section (section 149) to Chapter 1 of Title 36, United States Code, creating a codified national observance and directing private citizens, organizations, and all levels of government to recognize and participate in remembrance, education, and related activities. The accompanying findings recount the Bosnian War and the Srebrenica killings, emphasize the genocide designation as recognized by international tribunals, condemn denial of the genocide, and call for continued education, reconciliation, and protection of human rights as Bosnia and Herzegovina moves toward Euro-Atlantic integration. The measure is primarily symbolic and does not specify funding or enforcement mechanisms.
