Lisa Nandy – 2021 Comments on Srebrenica Memorial Day

The comments made by Lisa Nandy, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, on 10 July 2021.

On Srebrenica Memorial Day, we remember the thousands who lost their lives and the survivors whose stories continue to serve as a reminder of the horrors they faced.

As we pay tribute to the victims of the Srebrenica genocide, we are reminded that we continue to live in a world scarred by intolerance, persecution and inhumanity. This year’s Srebrenica Memorial Day should be a moment when we remember the horrors of the past and commit ourselves to building a world that is more inclusive, more generous, more tolerant and more just.
