The Golubić killings was the mass murder of at least 18 Serb civilians from the village of Golubić in the county of Šibenik-Knin County on 6 August 1995, by members of the Croatian Army (HV) during Operation Storm.[1] Most of the victims were elderly, killed in the immediate vicinity of their homes with the exception of one group killed on the way from Golubić to the village of Radljevac.[1] No one has been prosecuted for the massacre.[2]

Several of the murders in Golubić were included in the ICTY's indictment of former Croatian general Ante Gotovina.[3] In the appeal of the trial of Gotovina et al which acquitted Gotovina and Mladen Markač, the ICTY ruled that there was insufficient evidence to conclude the existence of a joint criminal enterprise to remove Serb civilians by force.[4] The Appeals Chamber further stated that the Croatian Army and Special Police committed crimes after the artillery assault, but the state and military leadership had no role in their planning and creation.[4]
