UN HUMAN RIGHTS RAPPORTEUR VISITS TUZLA

TUZLA, July 18 (Hina) - UN special rapporteur for human rights for the former Yugoslavia, Elisabeth Rehn, on Friday visited the Tuzla Clinic Centre (north-eastern Bosnia-Herzegovina), where the identification of corpses from single and mass graves from the Srebrenica area (eastern BH) is being performed. The victims of the Srebrenica genocide have not been forgotten, Rehn said, and each positive result is a victory and an aid to those who are still waiting for an answer. Today, the UN human rights rapporteur also met with women from Srebrenica who now live in Tuzla, with whom she talked about the results international institutions achieved in tracing missing persons to date. They also talked about the conditions the women now live in and the problems they face. Rehn made a promise to assist in the efforts to trace the missing members of their families.
