AFTERMATH AND INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE
The Srebrenica massacre enraged the global community. It was unnecessary for Bosnian Serb forces to kill thousands of men and boys, as well as rape and abuse women and children. A few days after the massacre, the United States sent reconnaissance planes over the killing sites. Photos were taken of the mass graves from the air. Other battles and killings took place in the following weeks. NATO forces responded by launching an offensive lasting from August 30 to September 20, 1995. The Bosnian War was ended by the Dayton Peace agreement in November of 1995. The Dayton agreement allowed Sarajevo to remain the capital of the country which was divided into two parts; one part was for Serbs and the other was named the Bosniak-Croat federation. Some of the perpetrators of the massacre were prosecuted and convicted. These men include Radovan Karadzic, a politician involved in the ethnic cleansing mission, and General Ratko Mladic. They were indicted for genocide among other war crimes and were convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal of the Former Yugoslavia. The United States donated $1 million to fund the Srebrenica Massacre Memorial, pictured above. Also, United States Congress voted to recognize the atrocities in the former Yugoslavia as genocide. In 2006, while set to stand trial, former President of Serbia Slobodan Milosevic was found dead in his cell. Over 160 people have been charged for crimes related to the genocide and the courts have stated that the massacre was completely avoidable and unnecessary.
