Summary/Abstract: Insulting the victims didn’t stop not even twenty years after by denialof genocide that was proven to have happened. Denial of genocide is not the thing of one individual; it is about very well planned political program, which is clear from the entire process of genocide that was committed. Deniers of genocide against Bosniaks, are both, domestic and regional as well as international actors, who denies genocide systematically and institutionally.Of course in addition of justifying their actions and insulting the victims, a very important segment of the act of denial, is preparing for the new genocide. Every genocide that is committed against Bosniaks is negated.Considering that the crime of genocide is repeating against over Bosniaks more than two centuries, and the science of Bosnia and Herzegovina didn’t clearly and precisely determine cause of this appearance, describe her consequences,it is reasonable to ask a question if this is not a first genocide and the causes of it are not removed, is this supposition that it is not the last one.According to Dr. Gregory H. Stanton genocide is evaluating in eight phases. Dr. Santon in 2012 on these eight phases added two more: discrimination and persecution, but still the last phase of the genocide is denial of it. With this work accent will be put on the last phase, that actually the title itself highlights and there is no need to explain the attitude of order and number of phases.
