If you read about the happenigs in Srebrenica that are described by BBC correspondent Misha Glenny then you know why all files relevant to Srebrenica are kept secret for 50 years:
In 1997 Mr. Zumach from the German newspaper Tageszeitung writes the following about the files relevant to Srebrenica in "UN tribunal criticizes the French 'total blockade'":

"In the New York central headquarters of the UN, all files relevant to Srebrenica have been classified "secret" for the next 30 - 50 years and are not even available for the tribunal. This decision was taken at the demand of the permanent members of the Security Council, the USA, France and Great Britain, in reference to their protection of the secrecy of government documents."

Original German text:

"In der New Yorker UNO- Zentrale wurden alle Srebrenica- relevanten Akten für die nächsten 30 bis 50 Jahre weggesperrt und dürfen auch dem Tribunal nicht vorgelegt werden. Dies geschah auf Verlangen der ständigen Sicherheitsratsmitglieder USA, Frankreich und Großbritannien, die sich auf ihre nationalen Geheimschutzbestimmungen für Regierungsdokumente beriefen."

Tageszeitung, "UN-Tribunal kritisiert französische 'Totalblockade'", December 17, 1997
