Forensic Science

Forensic scientists specialize in the analysis of human corpses or remains for legal investigations. Here, a forensics team working for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia examine human remains on a hillside near Srebrenica in north-eastern Bosnia. Forensic analysis is used to help investigators determine how large numbers of civilians died in the Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian War (1991-1995), information needed to convict those responsible for the killings.
