Ehlimana Memišević presented “Bosnian Genocide: Denial, Glorification and Triumphalism: 30-years on” virtually from Sarajevo, Bosnia. In her lecture, Ehlimana highlighted the genocide and subsequent denial of it during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995. The violence resulted in more than 100,000 deaths, some 2.5 million displaced, 800,000 destroyed homes, and widespread human rights abuse. Denial of the crimes took place during the genocide and continued immediately after. Memišević is an assistant professor at the Department of Legal History and Comparative Law, Faculty of Law, University of Sarajevo.
