Book review: Investigating Srebrenica: institutions, facts, responsibilities

"Investigating Srebrenica: Institutions, Facts, Responsibilities." Isabelle Delpla, Xavier Bougarel and Jean-Louis Fournel (eds.). Berghahn Books. April 2012. --- This volume aims to present a systematic, comparative analysis of the many international investigations and reports into the Srebrenica massacre. It brings together analyses from both the external standpoint of academics and the inside perspective of various professionals who participated directly in the enquiries, including police officers, members of parliament, high-ranking civil servants, and other experts. This is a book that not only reminds us of the horrors of what happened in Srebrenica, but also warns us about the mechanics behind writing history and attributing responsibility, writes Laura Bernal-Bermúdez.
