“Today marks 25 years since the Srebrenica genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“Canada honours the memory of the victims, including the more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys who were killed, and we mourn alongside their families and loved ones.
“We join our voices to those who continue to push for truth and justice ever since this painful and horrific episode.
“As a member of the Peace Implementation Council, Canada remains committed to supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina on its path to reconciliation and supports its development as a stable, economically viable and multi-ethnic democracy.
“Canada condemns all war crimes unequivocally. We must always remain vigilant against the perils of prejudice and intolerance.”
