This paper will, by considering the events which happened prior to the massacre of Srebrenica and the fact that troops of the United Nations had already been deployed in Bosnia since 1992 and had collected much information, try to give an answer to following question. Could the massacre of Srebrenica have been avoided and what was the role of the international community?
In the attempt of finding a correct answer, the paper will be divided into two parts, the first one answering the question if Srebrenica can even be considered as being a genocide in the correct meaning of the word and the second part being about the avoidance of the tragedy which happened there.
