Srebrenica Figures as of 31 May 2017 ~8,000 The estimated number of persons missing as a result of the fall of the Srebrenica and Žepa UN Safe Areas in July 1995 is ~8,000; the number of missing persons identified by traditional (non-DNA) means is 33; the number of persons identified using DNA is 6,938 ; the total number of missing persons accounted for (by traditional and DNA methods) is 6,971. PERSONS MISSING 6,971 6,938 IDENTIFIED IDENTIFIED BY DNA 33 IDENTIFIED BY NON-DNA METHOD The total number of Srebrenica-related sites where human remains have been recoverd is 430. This includes 94 graves, and 336 surface sites. Over 17,000 sets of human remains (bodies and body parts) related to Srebrenica 1995 have been examined in mortuaries by pathologists and anthropologists. 17,000 336 SETS OF HUMAN REMAINS 94 SURFACE SITES GRAVES For each missing person to be identified using DNA, DNA reference samples must be collected from multiple family members. To date, ICMP has collected 22.296 reference samples. The number of missing persons represented by these reference samples (i.e., missing persons for whom family members have provided the reference samples) is 7.745. 22,296 REFERENCE SAMPLES 6,971 17,528 10,557 For persons reported last seen in Srebrenica or the surrounding areas in 1995, a total of 17,528 DNA Match Reports have been issued by ICMP, including 10,557 reports of re-associations of separated skeletal remains. The number of different individuals represented by these DNA Match Reports is 6,971. 7,745 PERSONS REPRESENTED BY SAMPLES 99. 95% Once antemortem and postmortem samples have been collected, ICMP is in a position to generate a DNA Match Report. The minimum certainty required for issuing a standard DNA Match Report has been 99.95%, although in most cases the degree of certainty is far higher. DNA Match Reports are submitted to the competent domestic court authorities that are responsible for closing cases and issuing death certificates. 38 171 2 11 In addition to the inherent value of locating and identifying the missing for the benefit of families and for the sake of societal reconciliation, this date serves a further important purpose. Through ICMP's Assistance to Justice program, forensic information has been made available to the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and domestic legal systems of countries in the Western Balkans. 172 173 In Bosnia and Herzegovina to date, a total of 51 individuals have been put on trial at the BiH State Court for crimes committed in and around Srebrenica in July 1995. Of this number, 38 have been accused of the crime of genocide under Article 171 of the BIH Criminal Code; 11 have been charged with crimes against humanity under Article 172; and two have been accused of war crimes against civili`ans under Article 173. These 51 indictments represent ten percent of the total number of persons indicted by the BIH State Prosecutor for war crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. ICMP forensic expertise has also been made available to the ICTY. ICMP staff have on numerous occasions provided expert testimony based on the findings of ICMP’s forensic work related to Srebrenica event. To date, a total of 20 individuals have been tried at the ICTY for crimes related to Srebrenica over the course of 12 cases. Of these, 14 individuals were convicted and one was acquitted. Three cases are ongoing: one is awaiting Trial Chamber judgment before the ICTY (Mladic), one case is on appeal before the Mechanism for International Tribunals (Karadzic), and in one case a retrial has been ordered before the Mechanism (Stanisic and Simatovic). Slobodan Milosevic died before the conclusion of his trial. CASES 20 INDIVIDUALS 14 CONVICTED 6,504 BURIED 12 1 ACQUITTED As of 11 July 2017 there were 6, 504 bodies buried at Potocari and other locations.
