Summary/Abstract: In this paper, author offers a unique perspective on the role o f administrative evil in modern society, identifying moral inversion in the context of genocide denial. The text covers recent events and news surrounding Srebrenica genocide resolutions and the role that Serbian and Bosnian Serb politicians play in the coordinated and financially backed efforts to discredit the well documented facts about genocide and atrocities committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author concludes that the reconciliation can only be achieved through a genuine and concerted attempt to recognize the evils committed on behalf and in the name o f all sides and that a minimum, reconciliation must not lend its hand to the moral inversion and the realities o f the genocide denial on the ground.
