Could the massacre of Srebrenica have been avoided and what was the role of the international community?

In the attempt of finding a correct answer, the paper will be divided into two parts, the first one answering the question if Srebrenica can even be considered as being a genocide in the correct meaning of the word and the second part being about the avoidance of the tragedy which happened there.
