Expediency of statistics: War and Post-War Casualties in Croatia and Bosnia
نویسنده
چکیده
Violent conflict in former Yugoslavia triggered unvoluntary migration as well as ethnic cleansing in war effected areas. All types of movements of people were accompanied by vari ous levels and intensity of war crimes and human rights abuse. Official state statistics did not follow these movements by reliable data. Therefore, concerned researchers and activists tried to grasp the picture by applying then available instruments of data collecting procedures to ref ugees (in Croatia). It became clear tthat those instruments were of rather limited use for the specific events of human rights abuse on territory and population concerned (Bosnia, Croatia). Shortcomings were both of substantive and procedural (specific programs) nature.
