Serge Brammertz: Security Council and Hutus Brammertz

serge brammertz: Fifty years after the Holocaust in World War II that killed 6 million Jews and many thousands of others, he said a new generation came to understand the meaning of genocide in Rwanda, according to Metro News. The African nation's government estimates more than 1 million Rwandans perished in three months of machete and gunfire attacks mostly aimed at the country's minority Tutsi population by extremist Hutus Brammertz said the conflicts in former Yugoslavia taught the world a new vocabulary for the horrors inflicted on innocent civilians ethnic cleansing. Serge Brammertz told the U.N. Security Council there is a refusal by officials and others to accept the facts gathered by U.N. tribunals documenting ethnic cleansing and other crimes in former Yugoslavia and genocide in Rwanda in 1994. In case after case, he said, the tribunal found that senior political and military officials implemented criminal campaigns of ethnic cleansing. Yet, today, genocide is denied. Citing the mass graves discovered around Srebrenica in Bosnia, Brammertz said his office proved beyond reasonable doubt that genocide was committed in Srebrenica in 1995 through the execution of more than 7,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys.
