Kriege mit 250,000 unter ihnen anfänglich 35 000 vermissten.
ca 10 000 davon werden in Bosnien vermisst, ca 2000 in Kroatien und gleichviel im Kosovo.
Laut Paul-Henri Arni es wird ca 24 Jahren dauern bis die Vermisstenfälle in Kroatien aufgeklärt werden, ca 50 Jahre im Kosovo und 10 Jahre dazu in Bosnien.
er ruft auf einen Internationalen Druck auf die entsprechenden Regierungen auszuüben um die Vermissten zu finden. letztes Jahr wurden "nur" ca 1200 gefunden und das sei dem "guten Willen" der Politiker zu "verdanken"
so Leute, das ist unsre "Erbe" unser ganzer "Stolz". unsre Vorgänger haben versagt, lasst uns durch diesen blinden nationalistischen Hass nicht versagen..... ein Aufruf auf die Jugend von heute.
das was damals Geschah (und heute noch geschieht) eine eine Schande der Zivilisation.

[h2]ICRC Reports 15,000 People Still Missing After Balkan Wars[/h2]

About 15,000 people are still considered missing from the wars among the former Yugoslavia's succeeding countries, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Of the 250,000 people that non-governmental organisations in the region say were killed during the wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, about 35,000 were missing, the ICRC said in a statement on Monday.
More than 10,000 are considered to still be missing in Bosnia and Herzegovina, more than 2,000 in Croatia and around the same in Kosovo,
Paul-Henri Arni, the Belgrade-based head of ICRC's regional delegation, said in a press statement that it is calculated that 15,000 missing people affect the lives of another 200,000 people who still search for their family members.
The ICRC estimates that it will take another 24 years in Croatia and 50 years in Kosovo to solve the missing cases that remain open, while Bosnia will probably take another 10 years, if searches continue at the same pace.
The ICRC said the problem is a huge obstacle to reconciliation in the region and called on the international community to increase pressure on governments in the region to open wartime military and police archives, allocate more money and speed up the search for those who remain missing.
The Humanitarian Law Centre, HLC, in Belgrade, also issued a statement on Monday calling on regional politicians to do more in helping locate mass graves.
They said in the last year only 1,200 people were identified, which the HLC said showed a “luck of political will”.
“Just giving public support to resolving issues of missing people, playing with numbers, but not pointing out the locations of mass graves, is degrading not only for victims' families, but also to the whole of society which has the right to know,” the HLC said in a statement.
Since 1996, the Bosnian-based International Commission on Missing Persons, ICMP, has worked across the region in a bid to ensure governments co-operate in locating and identifying those who disappeared during the wars.
Since November 2001, the ICMP has used DNA analysis to identify remains found in mass graves.
It has developed a database of 88,292 relatives of 29,030 missing people, and taken more than 32,000 bone samples taken from mortal remains exhumed from clandestine graves in the countries of former Yugoslavia.
By matching DNA from blood and bone samples, the ICMP says it has been able to identify 15,675 people.
