Summary/Abstract: The Judgment of the International Court of Justice in The Hague in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Serbia and Montenegro established that Serbia is responsible for non-preventing and not punishing the crime of genocide committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, more precisely in and around Srebrenica. Following the Judgment, a discussion was launched within the general public on the possible initiation of a revision of the Judgment. The paper discusses whether Bosnia and Herzegovina had new evidence of “decisive” importance for initiating a revision of the Judgment. In that sense, the author analyzes the Judgment in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Serbia and Montenegro. In that sense, the author states what could have been the goal of the revision of the Judgment, and what “new” evidence was available to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Finally, the author concludes that Bosnia and Herzegovina did not have evidence of “decisive” importance for initiating the revision of the Judgment.
