Blast injuries at the alleged execution mass burial site of Ravnice
Ravnice is one of the Srebrenica mass burial sites associated with the Kravica Agricultural Warehouse prisoner shooting incident which occurred on July 13, 1995.

ICMP (International Commission on Missing Persons) was founded on then US President Bill Clinton’s initiative in 1996 at the G-7 Conference in Lyon, France.

Evidence that “one case” is not “one body”
ICTY Prosecution forensic teams which were conducting exhumations of Srebrenica-related mass graves between 1996 and 2001 produced 3,568 “cases.” In their terminology, a case is a file referring to a distinct collection of body parts, usually accompanied with an autopsy report.
