Pembantaian Srebrenica (disebut juga Genosida Srebrenica) merujuk kepada pembunuhan sekitar 8000 lelaki dan remaja etnis Muslim Bosniak pada Juli 1995 di daerah Srebrenica, Bosnia oleh pasukan Serbia Bosnia pimpinan Jenderal Ratko Mladić. Jenderal Mladic kini menjadi buronan internasional yang telah didapati bersalah karena genosida dan berbagai kejahatan perang lain di Yugoslavia. Pada 27 Februari 2007, Mahkamah Internasional menetapkan kejadian ini sebagai sebuah genosida. Selain pasukan Serbia Bosnia, pasukan paramiliter Serbia Scorpion (kalajengking) juga turut bersalah atas pembantaian ini.

Meskipun demikian, dalam keputusan Mahkamah Internasional tersebut disebutkan bahwa Serbia tidak bersalah atas tindakan genosida. Namun, MI tetap mengecam Serbia karena gagal mencegah ataupun mengadili pelaku pembantaian ini, sekalipun Serbia memiliki hubungan erat dengan militer Serbia Bosnia.

Menurut Komisi Federal untuk Orang Hilang, jumlah korban yang dikonfirmasi sampai saat ini mencapai 8.373 jiwa. Pembantaian Srebrenica dianggap secara meluas sebagai pembunuhan massal terbesar di Eropa semenjak Perang Dunia II. Ia juga merupakan kejadian pertama yang ditetapkan sebagai genosida secara hukum. Akibat bentuk kejadian ini, jumlah sebenarnya, butiran terperinci, dan sebab kejadian dipertikaikan sampai kini. Kejadian ini dianggap sebagai kejadian paling menakutkan dan kontroversial dalam sejarah Eropa modern pasca Perang Dunia II.

Pada tahun 1992, peperangan pecah antara Serbia dan Bosnia. Karena kekejaman dan pembersihan etnis yang dilakukan para tentara Serbia, umat Muslim Bosnia harus mengungsi ke kamp-kamp pengungsian. Srebrenica adalah salah satu kamp terbesar dan dinyatakan oleh PBB sebagai zona aman. Kamp itu sendiri dijaga oleh 400 penjaga perdamaian dari Negeri Belanda.

On August 10, 1995, a month after the fall of Srebrenica, but with in days of the expulsion by the Croats of 220.000 Serbs from Krajina, Madeleine Albright showed some satellite photos at a closed session of the Security Council, held up a photo which she said provided evidence that thousands of Muslim victims had been buried at field near Nova Kasaba, 19 kilometers from Srebrenica. Excavations which took place following the war, however, yielded 33 bodies at Nova Kasaba. Two years after the event, a total of 400 bodies had been found at 20 sites near Srebrenica, an area which had seen bloody fighting over a three year period. To distract attention from the largest ethnic cleansing of the entire Yugoslav civil war, with not only "tacit American approval" but with active American assistance, the Clinton Administration put on a spy photo "peep show" for the UN Security Council. A supplementary objective must have been to dissuade Security Council members from seeking to impose sanctions against an ally of the United States for a criminal offensive in the Krajina on a far greater scale than the Serb capture of Srebrenica^[6]

Pada tanggal 6 Juli 1995, pasukan Korps Drina dari tentara Serbia Bosnia mulai menggempur pos-pos tentara Belanda di Srebrenica. Pada tanggal 11 Juli pasukan Serbia memasuki Srebrenica. Anak-anak, wanita dan orang tua berkumpul di Potocari untuk mencari perlindungan dari pasukan Belanda. Pada 12 Juli, pasukan Serbia mulai memisahkan laki-laki berumur 12-77 untuk "diinterogasi". Pada tanggal 13 Juli pembantaian pertama terjadi di gudang dekat desa Kravica. Pasukan Belanda menyerahkan 5000 pengungsi Bosnia kepada pasukan Serbia, untuk ditukarkan dengan 14 tentara Belanda yang ditahan pihak Serbia. Pembantaian terus berlangsung. Pada 16 Juli berita adanya pembantaian mulai tersebar. Tentara Belanda meninggalkan Srebrenica, dan juga meninggalkan persenjataan dan perlengkapan mereka. Selama 5 hari pembantaian ini, 8000 Muslim Bosnia telah terbunuh.
