In July 1995, the Bosnian Serb army attacked Srebrenica, a UN-designated safe area, killing thousands of Bosnian Muslim men and teenagers and forcibly displacing 25,000 women, children, and elderly.

Today is an opportunity to remember the thousands of people who were killed or displaced as part of the Srebrenica genocide and to reject denial and misinformation around this tragic event.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled on Thursday, July 2nd, 2026, that Italy violated the rights of Audrey Ubeda and her two children in a domestic violence case. Italian authorities relied on sexist stereotypes, preventing a proper investigation and forcing her family to remain in a shelter for more than 3 years.

HRRC condemns Italian authorities’ use of gender stereotypes in judicial processes, which leads to a failure to properly address domestic violence allegations. We urge justice systems to treat cases such as these with seriousness and care.
