Thirty years after the Srebrenica genocide, the author reflects on the failure of international institutions to prevent the current unfolding genocide in Gaza. The piece argues that the rhetoric of “never again” is insufficient when confronted with ongoing atrocities, noting that while past efforts like the ICTY were crucial for establishing historical truth, the international order is being undermined by Western countries. The author stresses that while commemorating past genocides is important for survivors, it is not enough for real transformation. Instead, the focus must be on assuming responsibility for the future by bringing perpetrators to justice, commemorating victims, and actively working for justice. The text calls for grassroots mobilization, particularly for Palestine, to prevent complicity in genocide, asserting that solidarity with the oppressed is a moral and political obligation. Ultimately, the piece warns that the dehumanization of any group signals a threat to all of humanity.
