Assisted by the International Commission on Missing Persons and other organizations, Bosnia-Herzegovina has, since the late 1990s, been developing means to tackle the issue of missing persons: this has resulted in the identification of over 27,000 people who went missing during the Bosnian War. Internal pressure from the population to find and identify their loved ones, and a willingness to bring about reconciliation in the region, are among the factors that seem to have contributed to compliance with IHL.
