After watching South Africa’s case against Israel at the UN court last week accusing the state of committing genocide in its military campaign in Gaza, Bosnian war survivor Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura felt compelled to act.
As a child living under siege in Sarajevo, her relatives were among the 100,000 killed during the 1992-95 war. While her father survived being imprisoned in a concentration camp, the remains of other relatives have yet to be found. At the age of five, she recalls being shot at by a sniper while collecting water from aid trucks.
