Persons unaccounted for in connection with the conflict on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the aftermath of the conflict on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, thousands of families are still waiting for information about the fate of their missing loved ones.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in accordance with its mandate and as stipulated in annex seven of the Dayton Peace Agreement, is committed to clarifying the fate of the persons remaining unaccounted for.

Since early 1996, the ICRC has submitted nearly 20.000 cases of missing persons to the concerned parties and asked them to provide the necessary information to clarify their fate, in conformity with their obligation under the Dayton Peace Agreement.

In addition, the ICRC actively supports the process of exhumation and identification of those killed during the conflict.

By publishing the names of missing persons on its web site, the ICRC seeks to obtain information which will help to trace persons whose fate is unknown, thus alleviating their families' pain and uncertainty.

You may have a relative who is anxious to know that you are alive.

You might be in possession of ACCURATE information about the fate of a person unaccounted for.

Please help us to clarify the fate of those who are missing

You can consult the names published on our web site (last update October 2004)
