BiH Institute for Missing Persons offers rewards for grave locations

Institute for Missing Persons Bosnia and Herzegovina missing persons mass graves human rights

The Institute for Missing Persons of Bosnia and Herzegovina (INO BiH) has activated approximately 600,000 KM in funds to reward individuals who provide accurate information regarding the locations of mass, collective, or individual graves.

The funds were collected following six previous rulings from the former Human Rights Chamber for Bosnia and Herzegovina, which ordered the entities of the Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska to contribute toward locating the missing. A new regulation has been adopted to ensure the absolute anonymity and protection of informants, allowing for direct payments to individuals while complying with data protection laws.

In addition to financial incentives, the Institute has signed a memorandum of understanding with Norwegian People's Aid to deploy two specialized search teams using trained dogs to assist in field searches. The Institute is also conducting a review of 2,145 unidentified remains currently held in mortuaries to facilitate new identifications through advanced analysis and traditional methods.
