The UN General Assembly passed a resolution in 1995 recognizing the events in Srebrenica as genocide and designating July 11 as the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Bosnian Muslim Genocide. More than 8,000 Bosnians were killed in the genocide, which began after Bosnian Serb forces attacked Srebrenica, a UN-designated "safe area". Their bodies were found in 570 different areas of the country and the search continues to this day.
