More than 7,500 missing persons are still being sought in BiH

The United Nations mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina has called for increased efforts to uncover the fate of approximately 7,500 individuals who went missing during the 1991–1995 war, with no information known about their whereabouts. As of now, over 31,500 people have been reported missing during the conflicts of the 1990s, and while more than 24,000 remains have been identified, thousands remain unaccounted for due to the lack of recovered remains. The UN emphasizes that the search for these missing persons continues to grow increasingly difficult, as time passes and potential evidence risks being lost. Each resolved case represents a significant step toward truth, justice, and reparations for victims and their families. The UN urges continued efforts to identify those still missing, highlighting this as essential for reconciliation and building lasting peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
