10 November 2009: Thirty students from the Law Faculties of the Universities of Mostar, Banja Luka and Sarajevo visited the facilities of the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) in Tuzla today.
The delegation, which saw law students from each of Bosnia’s main universities joined together in one party, visited ICMP’s three forensic facilities in Tuzla; the Podrinje Identification Project, the Lukavac Re-association Centre and the Identification Coordination Division (ICD). ICMP constructed the first two projects specifically to assist in the identification of victims of the 1995 fall of Srebrenica, while ICD exists as ICMP’s worldwide centre for the processing of information about missing persons. The students also received briefings on the work of the Missing Persons Institute of Bosnia-Herzegovina (MPI), as well as a presentation on the implementation of the Law on Missing Persons.
“We are impressed with the work of ICMP and the professionalism of the staff, as with their work they are assisting not just the region but the rest of the world, and by so doing are helping discover the truth and giving a sense of closure to the families of the missing,” said Haris Ibricic, President of Law Student Association of the University of Sarajevo.
“The work of ICMP makes a huge contribution to justice and every adult in this country should come and visit these facilities,” said Marija Prskalo, from the Law Faculty of Mostar University.
Zelimir Simic of the Law Faculty of Banja Luka University said “we are very thankful to ICMP – we think its work is extremely positive and its staff are performing their task in an objective and professional manner.”
“It’s extremely encouraging to see that law students from all three main universities across BiH have recognized the importance of the work of the ICMP for the past, present and future of their country” said Klaudia Kuljuh, ICMP’s Western Balkans Regional Coordinator.
The DNA laboratory system of the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) has made a total of nearly 16,500 DNA matches during its work assisting governments worldwide in dealing with the issue of persons missing from armed conflicts, human rights violations and natural disasters. This is the largest number of DNA-assisted identifications ever made, and since ICMP’s DNA identification system went online in November 2001, 15,158 identifications have been made of persons missing from armed conflicts in the Western Balkans, including 12,722 who were missing from Bosnia-Herzegovina.[:bs]
Trideset studenata pravnih fakulteta sa univerziteta u Mostaru, Banja Luci i Sarajevu posjetili su danas objekte Međunarodne komisije za nestale osobe (ICMP) u Tuzli.
Delegacija studenata sa tri glavna univerziteta u Bosni i Hercegovini (BiH) obišla je tri ICMP-eva objekta: Identifikacijski projekat Podrinje (PIP), Centar za reasocijaciju u Lukavcu (LKRC) i Odjel za koordinaciju identifikacija (ICD). Prva dva projekta ICMP je osnovao isključivo kako bi pomogao u identifikaciranju žrtava pada Srebrenice 1995. godine, a ICD služi kao ICMP-ev centar za obradu podataka o nestalim osobama iz cijelog svijeta. Studenti su također prisustvovali prezentaciji o radu Instituta za nestale osobe (INO) BiH i prezentaciji o provedbi Zakona o nestalim osobama BiH.
„Dojmio me se rad ICMP-a kao i profesionalnost uposlenih. Pogotovo što svojim radom pomažu ne samo u regiji nego i ostatku svijeta i tako doprinose otkrivanju istine i daju neku vrstu duševnog mira porodicama nestalih”, rekao je Haris Ibričić, predsjednik Udruženja studenata prava na Pravnom fakultetu Univerziteta u Sarajevu.
„Rad ICMP-a je golem i daje ogroman doprinos istini. Svaki punoljetni građanin ove države bi trebao posjetiti objekte koje smo mi danas posjetili”, nakon posjete rekla je Marija Prskalo, studentica Pravnog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Mostaru.
„Zahvaljujemo se ICMP-u na prilici da obiđemo ove objekte. Mislimo da je rad ICMP-a izuzetno pozitivan i da osoblje ICMP-a obavlja svoj zadatak jako profesionalno i objektivno”, izjavio je Želimir Simić, student Pravnog fakulteta Univerziteta u Banjoj Luci.
„Vrlo nam je drago da su studenti ova tri univerziteta iz Bosne i Hercegovine prepoznali značaj rada Međunarodne komisije za nestale (ICMP) osobe za prošlost, sadašnjost i budućnost njihove zemlje, i što su u tom smislu došli da nas posjete”, izjavila je ICMP-eva koordinatorica za regiju Zapadnog Balkana, Klaudia Kuljuh.
Sistem DNK laboratorija Međunarodne komisije za nestale osobe (ICMP) ostvario je više od 16.500 DNK podudaranja pomažući vladama širom svijeta da riješe problem osoba nestalih u oružanim sukobima, kršenju ljudskim prava i prirodnim nepogodama. Ovo je najveći broj identifikacija ikad ostvarenih putem DNK. Od uspostave ICMP-evog sistema DNK laboratorija u novembru 2001. godine, urađeno je 15.158 identifikacija osoba nestalih tokom oružanih sukoba na Zapadnom Balkanu, a od toga 12.722 u Bosni i Hercegovini.[:ar][:es][:]
