Bosnia's war crimes researchers presented on Tuesday an 'atlas of war crimes' from the country's 1992-95 war, saying it should help people learn about facts and better understand the past. The atlas, available on www.idc.org.ba, contains maps that use Google Earth technology, allowing readers to find sites of mass executions and mass graves across Bosnia, along with the names of the victims, as well as available court documentation.
"The Bosnian war crimes atlas is a comprehensive depository of facts about war events," said Mirsad Tokaca, the director of the Research and Documentation Centre (RDC), a Sarajevo-based organisation that created the digital atlas. The atlas has identified 50,000 geographic sites where war atrocities took place, accompanied with photos and video-clips of the events.
