Designates July 11 as the "National Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Srebrenica Genocide" and adds that observance to the federal list of commemorative days. It encourages Federal, State, local, and tribal governments, organizations, and citizens to recognize the day through proclamations, educational activities, and public events that memorialize victims, support survivors, promote historical truth, and oppose denial or revisionism.
The legislation also records Congressional findings about the Srebrenica genocide, the Bosnian War, international responses and tribunals, and ongoing issues such as genocide denial; it makes a technical amendment to the table of sections in Title 36, U.S. Code. The measure is symbolic and declaratory—it creates a national observance and calls for recognition and education but does not authorize new funding or impose requirements on governments.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
