ABSTRACT

In this, the final chapter of this book, I hope to address some of the problems that may face the visiting forensic specialist investigating atrocities in a theater of war. I base this on personal experience, having been privileged to be part of the British Forensic Team (2000) in Kosovo (under the auspices of the United Nations) and having had five “tours of duty” in East Timor, also under the UN banner. In recent years (2003-5), I have worked in the Solomon Islands investigating militia based killings.
