[:en]5 November 2008: The German Government continues its vital support to the work of the 
International Commission on Missing Persons with an important contribution this year of 600,000 Euros. This donation will support ICMP’s DNA-assisted identification program, which has already helped in accurately identifying almost 12,000 persons missing from the armed conflicts of the 1990’s in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“ICMP, together with other organizations, has over the years essentially contributed to the reconciliation process of BIH. Despite their work, 13.000 persons are still missing in BIH. Through identifying the victims found in mass graves, ICMP is enabling their surviving relatives to get reliable information and in the end come to terms with the past. Germany highly appreciates ICMP’s endeavours. Therefore we have contributed more than 1 million Euros since 2001, and today we have gathered because Germany remains committed to accompany BIH coming to terms with its recent past and, thereby, also further facilitate political stabilization.” said H.E. Ambassador Joachim Schmidt, Germany’s Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“Since 2001, the German Federal Government has donated a total of almost 2 million Euros to our work and we are not only very grateful for their support to ICMP, but for their unwavering commitment to the families of the missing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and for supporting their right to know,” said ICMP’s Director General Kathryne Bomberger. “Were it not for donations such as these from the German Government and other important donor nations we would not be able to continue to provide this critical support to Bosnia and Herzegovina,” she added.
Since November 2001, state-of-the-art DNA-assisted human identification programs have lain at the heart of ICMP’s considerable and ongoing successes in dealing with the question of missing persons in the former Yugoslavia. Since November 2001, ICMP has led the way in using DNA as a first step in the process of identification.
ICMP has collected genetic information from 86,587 relatives of an estimated 28,644 missing people, along with 27,518 bone samples taken from human remains exhumed from mass graves throughout the former Yugoslavia. By matching DNA from the relatives’ blood with DNA from victims’ bone samples ICMP has been able to identify 14,170 out of the estimated 40,000-plus missing individuals from the region.
In addition to its technical support, ICMP is the co-founder of the Missing Persons Institute of BiH. ICMP also contributes to transitional justice activities, provides legislative support and helps in the development of networks of civil society organizations which advocate for truth, justice, and for the rights of family members of missing persons.
The work of ICMP is also supported by the Governments of Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, the Holy See, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. The C.S. Mott Foundation provides funding to ICMP for the “Paths to Reconciliation” project.[:bs]Vlada Njemačke nastavlja svoju vitalnu podršku radu Međunarodne komisije za nestale osobe (ICMP) donacijom od 600.000 eura za ovu godinu. Ova donacija namijenjena je ICMP-evom programu DNK identifikacije, pomoću kojeg je ICMP do sada pomogao u identifikaciji skoro 12.000 osoba nestalih 90-ih godina prošlog stoljeća u oružanim sukobima u Bosni i Hercegovini.
„ICMP, skupa sa ostalim organizacijama, već godinama pruža značajan doprinos procesu pomirenja u Bosni i Hercegovini. Uprkos njihovom radu, 13.000 osoba u BiH se vode kao nestali. Identificirajući žrtve nađene u masovnim grobnicama ICMP omogućuje rodbini da dobiju pouzdane informacije i da se pomire sa prošlošću. Njemačka izuzetno cijeni ICMP-eve napore. Zbog toga smo donirali skoro dva miliona eura od 2001. godine, a danas smo se okupili jer Njemačka je još uvijek uz BiH tokom njenog mirenja sa nedavnom prošlošću, čime dodatno olakšava političku stabilizaciju”, izjavio je Njegova ekselencija ambasador Joachim Schmidt, ambasador Njemačke u Bosni i Hercegovini.
„Od 2001. godine, Njemačka savezna vlada donirala je gotovo 2 miliona eura za naš rad. Mi smo zahvalni ne samo na podršci pruženoj ICMP-u, nego i na nesebičnoj posvećenosti porodicama nestalih u Bosni i Hercegovini i njihovom pravu da se zna”, rekla je generalna direktorica ICMP-a, Kathryne Bomberger. „Da nije bilo donatora poput njemačke vlade i drugih važnih donatorskih država, mi ne bismo mogli pružiti ovu važnu podršku Bosni i Hercegovini”, dodala je.
ICMP je prikupio genetske informacije od 86.587 članova porodica nestalih koji tragaju za 28.644 nestale osobe i posjeduje 27.518 koštanih uzoraka sakupljenih iz masovnih grobnica širom bivše Jugoslavije. Pronalaženjem podudarnosti između DNK žrtava i DNK iz krvi srodnika ICMP je identifikovao 14.170 od oko 40.000 nestalih osoba iz regije.
Od novembra 2001. godine, posljednja dostignuća u programima za identifikaciju posmrtnih ostataka potpomognutu analizom DNK, predstavljaju srž značajnog i konstantnog uspjeha ICMP-a u rješavanju problema nestalih osoba u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Od novembra 2001. godine ICMP koristi DNK analizu kao prvi korak u procesu identifikacije.
Od osnivanja ICMP-evog sistema DNK laboratorija krajem 2001. godine, ICMP je pružio pomoć vladama Zapadnog Balkana da putem DNK analize identificiraju preko 14.000 osoba nestalih u sukobima u 90-im godinama prošlog stoljeća.
Pored pružanja tehničke pomoći, ICMP je suosnivač Instituta za nestale osobe BiH. ICMP također pomaže uspostavu pravde u periodu tranzicije, obezbjeđuje pravnu podršku te pomaže razvoju mreža organizacija civilnog sektora koje se zalažu za mir, pravdu i za prava članova porodica nestalih.
Rad ICMP-a podržavaju vlade Kanade, Danske, Finske, Francuske, Švicarske, Grčke, Vatikana, Islanda, Irske, Italije, Nizozemske, Norveške, Poljske, Švedske, Velike Britanije, Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i Evropske Unije. Fondacija C.S. Mott svojim donacijama podržava ICMP-eve projekte koji se bave istinom i pomirenjem.[:ar][:es]
