Zepa Memorial Site
Žepa, Bosnia and Herzegovina

During the Bosnian War (1992-1995) the town of Žepa was laid under siege, first by the Yugoslav People’s Army then by the Bosnian Serbian Army, during which time hundreds of Bosniaks were killed by aggressor forces and thousands imprisoned in detention camps in what is now considered a systematic failure of international protection under the UN.
