About This Database

This database was built from fourteen source documents: the Knjiga nestalih općine Prijedor (2000) as the primary record for Prijedor, cross-referenced against four ICTY criminal judgements (Stakić IT-97-24-T, Mrđa IT-02-59, Stanišić & Župljanin IT-08-91-T, and Kvočka IT-98-30/1), and DNA identification burial lists from 2014, 2019, and 2025. The Srebrenica dataset comes from the official monument list compiled by the Bosnian Federal Commission of Missing Persons.

Every victim record carries a source ID linking it to the document it came from. Every ICTY confirmation field links to a specific criminal case. Every DNA identification links to a specific burial event. Nothing in this database is asserted without a citable source.

Coverage: The Prijedor dataset is complete — all 3,227 entries from the Knjiga nestalih are included. The Srebrenica dataset is a skeleton — all 8,354 names are present but additional fields (date of birth, home municipality, identification status) are being added. This database does not yet cover other municipalities affected by the 1992–1995 genocide.
