Foreword Nations at a time when it was fighting as hard as possible to be a scapegoat. UN leadership, which was desperately trying to curry favor with the United States in order to prevent the world organization from completely collapsing, could not afford to criticize the world’s only superpower. The United States, which had been useless in Rwanda, embarrassed in Somalia, and frustrated in former Yugoslavia, needed a sacrificial lamb. And because I refused to be part of the UN’s mea maxima culpa campaign, I was ignored. There were others too, prominent intellectuals, who were ignored in the flurry of reports that emerged, “studies” righteously denouncing the United Nations for not having recognized the existence of evil. But one day their story, our story, must be heard if one is ever to understand the history of Srebrenica, of the former Yugoslavia, of Europe, and of the world. The beginnings of that untold story, hitherto marginalized by official renditions, are here for all to read in this report.

PREFACE Edward S. Herman Srebrenica can best be understood in the context of the U.S. and NATO war against Serbia and dismantlement of Yugoslavia. 1 In this war, which followed the collapse of the Soviet bloc and Soviet Union itself (1989 - 1991), and the ending of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’s usefulness as a Western ally, those indigenous forces which sought to preserve the unified, federal structure of Yugoslavia were designated the enemy, while those which sought its breakup, the Slovenes, the Croats, the Bosnian Muslims, and the Kosovo Albanians, saw their causes adopted by the Western powers, and hence became “freedom fighters.” The ensuing civil wars, which can be dated to no later than the spring of 1991, 2 involved both military and propaganda campaigns. In the latter, the Republic of Serbia, as the chief advocate of preserving a unitary federal state, was depicted in the harshest light, with the official positions of the breakaway republics of Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia- Herzegovina, and their Western great-power supporters, uncritically accepted by the Western media and humanitarian NGOs and intellectuals. It was in such a highly charged political environment that the Srebrenica massacre of July 1995 took place, and was quickly described as a case of “genocide” 3 and “Europe’s worst massacre since World War II,” 4 with the number slaughtered there speedily fixed as 8,000 “men and boys.” That number was first put forward by the Red Cross, not on any evidence of 8,000 killings, or even deaths, but on the basis of the number of Bosnian Muslims estimated to have been taken prisoner by the Serbs (3,000) plus the number initially claimed to be “missing” (5,000). 5 Although the Red Cross had no evidence that the alleged 3,000 prisoners were dead, and soon acknowledged that many of the “missing” had gotten through Bosnian Serb lines to safety, and that many were killed in the furious fighting in the Bosnian Muslim retreat from Srebrenica, the 8,000 figure was never revised downward, but has remained intact up to today. What is more, it was quickly transformed into “executions,” also intact through the succeeding 15 years. This stability in number was not because anything like 8,000 bodies were subsequently exhumed and identified as victims of a Srebrenica 13
