[:en]The Hague, 15 February: In August 2018, the Republika Srpska (RS) National Assembly annulled the “Report of the Commission for Investigation of the Events in and around Srebrenica between 10 and 19 July 1995”, which had been produced for the RS Government in 2004. The current RS Government has now announced the setting up of two new commissions to investigate events in and around Srebrenica and in Sarajevo during the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
For more than two decades, the International Commission on Missing persons (ICMP) has led the effort to account for those who went missing during the conflict and to uphold the rights of families of the missing to truth, justice and reparations, regardless of national, ethnic or religious affiliation. The facts established by the RS Government Report 15 years ago have been confirmed by international and domestic criminal courts, and they are supported by systematic forensic work conducted by ICMP.
More than 8,000 persons were reported missing from the fall of the Srebrenica and Zepa UN Safe Areas in July 1995. Of this number, 6,979 have been identified using DNA; just 84 were identified before ICMP introduced the DNA-led process of human identification in 2001. DNA identifications are based on a minimum certainty of 99.95 percent. This means that the identity of the vast majority of persons who went missing in Srebrenica and Zepa has been scientifically and conclusively established.
ICMP scientific data concerning persons missing from the fall of Srebrenica has been admitted in evidence at trials before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The evidence has been examined in minute detail numerous times. In the case of the Prosecutor vs. Radovan Karadzic, a random and representative group of more than 1,000 family members of persons reported missing from Srebrenica and Zepa provided their genetic data, and that of their missing relatives, to the accused to allow his legal and scientific experts to verify the DNA evidence that their relatives are among those missing from the fall of Srebrenica. The evidence has been consistently upheld in trial.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole, around 75 percent of persons reported missing as a consequence of the conflicts of the 1990s have now been accounted for. One of the biggest obstacles to locating and identifying the remaining 7,000 persons from the BIH conflicts is the lack of information on possible locations of mass and clandestine graves. ICMP fully supports allocating resources to renewed efforts that could lead to more information in respect of missing persons. These efforts will have no bearing on the established historical fact, upheld by the ICTY and the International Court of Justice, that genocide was committed in Srebrenica.
ICMP has worked with the all countries in the former Yugoslavia to support their efforts to locate and identify missing persons from the conflicts of the 1990s. More than 70 percent of the 40,000 persons missing, from all national, ethnic and religious groups have been accounted for with ICMP’s assistance. ICMP has also worked with all governments to ensure that mechanisms are in place to secure the rights of all families of the missing, regardless of the circumstances of their disappearance.
Governments and political authorities must continue to work together to resolve the remaining missing persons cases and to ensure that reliable and accurate information is provided to families and the public.
ICMP is a treaty-based intergovernmental organization with Headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Its mandate is to secure the cooperation of governments and others in locating and identifying missing persons from conflict, human rights abuses, disasters, organized crime, irregular migration and other causes and to assist them in doing so. It is the only international organization tasked exclusively to work on the issue of missing persons.
The Agreement on the Status and Functions of the International Commission on Missing Persons is open to accession by all States. So far, Belgium, Chile, Cyprus, El Salvador, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Serbia, Sweden and the United Kingdom have signed the ICMP Treaty.

Aktuelna Vlada RS-a najavila je osnivanje dvaju novih komisija koje će istražiti događaje u i oko Srebrenice i u Sarajevu za vrijeme sukoba u Bosni i Hercegovini.
Međunarodna komisija za nestale osobe (ICMP) je duže od dvije decenije na čelu nastojanja da se pronađu osobe nestale tokom sukoba i poštuju prava porodica nestalih na istinu, pravdu i reparacije bez obzira na nacionalnu i religijsku pripadnost ili etničko porijeklo. Činjenice iznesene u Izvještaju Vlade RS-a prije 15 godina potvrdili su međunarodni i domaći sudovi, a potkrijepljene su sistematičnim forenzičkim radom koji provodi ICMP.
Više od 8.000 osoba prijavljene su nestalima prilikom pada zaštićenih zona UN-a Srebrenice i Žepe u julu 1995. godine. Od tog broja, 6.979 osoba je identifikovano na temelju analize DNK, a svega 84 osobe su identifikovane prije nego što je ICMP 2001. godine počeo primjenjivati postupak identifikacije na osnovu analize DNK. Utvrđivanje identiteta se zasniva na pouzdanosti od minimalno 99,95 procenata. Dakle, identitet velike većine osoba nestalih u Srebrenici i Žepi je naučno i definitivno potvrđen.
ICMP-ovi naučni podaci u vezi s osobama nestalim prilikom pada Srebrenice uvedeni su u dokaze u sudskim postupcima pred Međunarodnim sudom za bivšu Jugoslaviju (MKSJ) i pred sudovima u Bosni i Hercegovini. Ti dokazi su podrobno razmotreni nebrojeno puta. U predmetu “Tužilac protiv Radovana Karadžića”, nasumično odabrana, reprezentativna grupa od preko 1.000 članova porodica osoba koje su prijavljene nestalima iz Srebrenice i Žepe dostavila je optuženom svoje genetičke podatke, kao i podatke svojih nestalih srodnika, kako bi omogućili njegovim pravnim i naučnim ekspertima provjeru dokaza na temelju analize DNK o tome da li se njihovi srodnici nalaze među osobama nestalim u padu Srebrenice. Dokazi su dosljedno potvrđeni u sudskom postupku.
U Bosni i Hercegovini je do danas pronađeno i identifikovano oko 75 procenata osoba nestalih u sukobima tokom 1990.-ih. Jedna od najvećih prepreka u procesu pronalaženja i identifikacije preostalih 7.000 osoba nestalih u sukobima u BiH je nedostatak informacija o mogućim lokacijama masovnih i skrivenih grobnica. ICMP u potpunosti podržava izdvajanje sredstava za aktivnosti koje bi mogle dovesti do informacija o nestalim osobama. Ovakva nastojanja ne mogu utjecati na utvrđenu historijsku činjenicu, potvrđenu pred MKSJ-em i Međunarodnim sudom pravde – da je u Srebrenici počinjen genocid.
ICMP sarađuje sa svim državama na području bivše Jugoslavije kako bi podržao njihova nastojanja da pronađu i identifikuju osobe nestale u sukobima tokom 1990.-ih. Više od 70 procenata od 40.000 nestalih osoba, pripadnika svih nacionalnih, etničkih i religijskih grupa pronađeno je uz ICMP-ovu pomoć. ICMP je sarađivao i sa svim vladama, kako bi se osiguralo uspostavljanje mehanizma za zaštitu prava svih porodica nestalih osoba, bez obzira na okolnosti njihovog nestanka.
Vlade i politički organi moraju nastaviti zajedno raditi kako bi se riješili preostali slučajevi nestalih osoba i kako bi se porodicama i javnosti omogućile pouzdane i tačne informacije.
ICMP je sporazumom utemeljena međunarodna organizacija sa sjedištem u Hagu u Nizozemskoj. Njegov mandat je osigurati saradnju vlada i drugih organa vlasti u pronalaženju i identifikaciji osoba nestalih usljed sukoba, zloupotreba ljudskih prava, nesreća, organiziranog kriminala, ilegalnih migracija i drugih razloga te pružiti im pomoć u tim poslovima. Jedina je međunarodna organizacija čiji je zadatak isključivo rad na pitanju nestalih osoba.
Sporazum o statusu i funkcijama Međunarodne komisije za nestale osobe otvoren je za pristup svim državama. Do danas su ICMP-ov Sporazum potpisale Belgija, Čile, Kipar, El Salvador, Luksemburg, Nizozemska, Srbija, Švedska i Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo.
