It will soon be 25 years since the first identification of the skeletal remains of war victims from the territory of the former Yugoslavia. In those 25 years, domestic scientists in cooperation with their colleagues from other countries, processed several thousands of various skeletal remains. They achieved what many thought would not be possible. At the end of the 20th century, DNA analysis was a promising new method, but which still could not find its mass application in the identification of human skeletal remains. The first cases of the application of DNA analysis in individual plane crashes or the individual identification of American soldiers from the Gulf war and some other earlier wars served as a guiding idea that this method could be used in the identification of war victims found in mass graves found on the soil of BiH, Croatia and a little later Kosovo. After the initial difficulties and challenges encountered by this group of enthusiastic scientists, the entire process succeeded in alleviating the suffering of the local population, especially all those who were searching for the remains of their dearest family members. The scientific achievements resulting from these missions found their application years later in identification missions around the world, from victims of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, over the victims of tsunamis and wars in Libya, Iraq and Syria, to the first identifications of civilian victims from mass graves. of the Second World War in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This presentation is brief reminder of previous scientific achievements and publications published on this topic within previous three decades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
