Bosnia Presents On Line War Crimes Atlas

Sarajevo | 04 November 2009 |
 
Bosnian independent researchers presented in Sarajevo an online “atlas of war crimes” which they said should help better understanding of their country’s 1992-95 war and prevent manipulations with death toll numbers.

The online tool available www.idc.org.baBosnian independent researchers presented in Sarajevo an online “atlas of war crimes” which they said should help better understanding of their country’s 1992-95 war and prevent manipulations with death toll numbers.

The www.idc.org.ba website was created by the Sarajevo-based Research and Documentation Center and it contains maps of war crimes and mass grave sites using Google Earth technology, as well as names of the victims, available video clips and court documents.

"We need this to help us face the past and avoid manipulation of facts by various elites,” the center’s director Mirsad Tokaca told journalists.

Tokaca’s team spent years compiling information about war crimes in Bosnia, including collecting various facts about each victim.

They placed the number of victims of the Bosnian war at little over 100,000 or about a half of the previously used figure of some 250,000.

Their work was sharply criticized by some in Bosnia who claimed the figure was too low.

However, Tokaca dismissed the attacks as politically motivated, saying his center only relied on well established facts and did not aim to provide any interpretations of events in the war.
