Dealing with the Remains of Confl ict: An International Response to

This chapter is not intended to be an exact history of the atrocities and crimes committed during the confl icts that resulted from the break up of the former Yugoslavia between 1991 and 2002. Nor is it an exact account of the international response to the recovery, identifi cation, and fi nal repatriation of the remains of victims from the various confl icts of the former Yugoslavia. Rather, the chapter acquaints the reader with some of the problems and issues that I observed over nine years of work within the region.
