Background:
During the 1992-95 Bosnian War, Serb forces engaged in ethnic
cleansing of the Bosniak population, the culmination of which
resulted in the Srebrenica Massacre of 1995, which has been
declared a Genocide by the International Court of Justice. These
tragic events belong to one of Europe's most recent, yet lesser
known genocides. The United Human Rights Council estimates that
there were as many as 200,000 killed and millions displaced.
Keynote Speakers:

Born in 1967 in Kosovo, Mirsad is one of the founders of the
Balkan Multimedia Association of Arts, a freelance reporter for
many publications in the countries of former Yugoslavia and has
spoken at many American universities on the Bosnian war.
