The Schutzkorps (Bosnian: Šuckor / Zaštitni korpus, Serbo-Croatian: Šuckor; lit. "Protection Corps") was an auxiliary volunteer militia established by Austro-Hungarian authorities in the newly annexed province of Bosnia and Herzegovina to track down Bosnian Serb opposition (members of the Chetniks and the Komiti), while its main victims were civilians. Officially, they were an auxiliary gendarmerie, while in reality, they conducted illegal and repressive activities. It predominantly drew recruits from members of the Bosniak population and it became infamous as a result of its heavy involvement in the persecution of the Serbs. They particularly targeted Serb populated areas of eastern Bosnia.

  • The Schutzkorps (Bosnian: Šuckor / Zaštitni korpus, Serbo-Croatian: Šuckor; lit. "Protection Corps") was an auxiliary volunteer militia established by Austro-Hungarian authorities in the newly annexed province of Bosnia and Herzegovina to track down Bosnian Serb opposition (members of the Chetniks and the Komiti), while its main victims were civilians. Officially, they were an auxiliary gendarmerie, while in reality, they conducted illegal and repressive activities. It predominantly drew recruits from members of the Bosniak population and it became infamous as a result of its heavy involvement in the persecution of the Serbs. They particularly targeted Serb populated areas of eastern Bosnia. The role of the Schutzkorps is a point of debate. Persecution of Serbs conducted by the Austro-Hungarian authorities was the "first incidence of active 'ethnic cleansing' in Bosnia and Herzegovina". Some Muslim leaders emphasized that it would be wrong to blame the whole Muslim population of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the misdeeds of the Schutzkorps, because some Muslims provided help to their Serb neighbors, while some Serbs hid from persecution by applying to the Schutzkorps.

  • Schutzkorps (em servo-croata: Šuckor; lit. "Corpo de proteção") foi uma milícia voluntária auxiliar estabelecida pelas autoridades da Áustria-Hungria na nova província anexada da Bósnia e Herzegovina para rastrear a oposição dos sérvios bósnios (membros dos Chetniks e Komiti). Foi predominantemente recrutado entre a população bósnia e foi conhecido por sua participação na perseguição dos sérvios. Eles abordaram particularmente as áreas populacionais sérvias da Bósnia-Herzegovina. O papel de Schutzkorps é um ponto de debate. A perseguição dos sérvios realizada pelas autoridades austro-húngaras foi a primeira incidência de "limpeza étnica" ativa na Bósnia e Herzegovina. (pt)
