Academic research often highlights the positive role of online memory activism in promoting alternative views on the legacy of war. Human rights activists increasingly use social media to advocate for justice and reconciliation in post-conflict settings, counter war crimes denial, mobilize public support, and foster open discussions on these issues.
The 2024 study Social Media, Stereotypes, and the Acknowledgement of War Crimes (Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, Taylor & Francis) explores the role of social media in facilitating the acknowledgment of war crimes committed by one’s own ethnic group. The findings reveal that individuals are less willing to acknowledge their group’s responsibility for war crimes on social media. The study sheds light on the unexpected negative consequences of mediated visibility of war crimes and challenges assumptions of digital universalism, showing that the implications of visibility are context-dependent.

The Humanitarian Law Center filed a request for action on the war crimes criminal complaint against Ratko Adžić, who attacked students during a blockade in Belgrade:
Following media reports of Ratko Adžić’s violent behavior against students and high schoolers peacefully commemorating victims of the canopy collapse in Novi Sad and calling for institutional accountability, the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC), on 19 December 2024, submitted a request to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for War Crimes (PPOWC) seeking concrete information on the handling of the criminal complaint filed by the HLC and the Association of Families of Missing Persons from Ilijaš Municipality (Bosnia and Herzegovina) against Adžić in 2016.
The criminal complaint was submitted on reasonable suspicion that Ratko Adžić and others were responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against the non-Serb population in the Ilijaš municipality in 1992. Action by the Public Prosectutor’s Office for War Crimes on this criminal complaint would benefit Serbian society in multiple ways. Establishing individual responsibility for serious crimes removes war criminals from public spaces, making these safer for citizens. In this specific case, it would also prevent someone reasonably suspected of involvement in killings, rapes, abuse, and looting of civilians from engaging in educational work with high school students. Timely, efficient, and appropriate punishment for past human rights violations also fosters accountability in society and strengthens the rule of law, where all are equal before the law and everyone is being held accountable. If Ratko Adžić had been prosecuted for the war crimes with which he is associated, he would not pose a threat to citizens today, nor would impunity be possible for incidents such as the canopy collapse.
