Prevencija genocida u postgenocidnom periodu u Bosni i Hercegovini
Prevention of genocide in the post-genocide period in BiH

Summary/Abstract: The author examines the conditions for prevention of the crime of genocide in post-genocide societies such as BiH, where the ICTY and the International Court of Justice established that genocide had been committed. This issue is particularly relevant since prevention of genocide has been considered in societies where there has been no genocide, disregarding the latent danger of this crime in areas where this crime has been committed. As factors contributing to a preventive atmosphere the author considers issues such as researching the facts of the genocide, different scientific results, exemplary work of museums, archives and other institutions in documenting genocide, adequate publications, adequate placement of genocide into the education system, and adequate and creative commemoration of genocide. The question contained in the title requires elaboration from several vantage points, in order to indicate the necessity to work on genocide prevention in post-genocide times. In light of that, the text presents the need to work on the roots of genocide, the available evidence of genocide, and the central issue – preventive action in the post-genocide period in BiH.
