On the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the beginning of the Siege of Sarajevo, the Institute for Research of Crimes Against Humanity and International Law recalls the recently published interactive map titled “Shelling of Sarajevo During the Siege”, authored by Dr. Merisa Karović-Babić, Senior Research Associate at the Institute.
The interactive map contains detailed information about the time, location, and circumstances of massacres, as well as the identities of the victims, accompanied by archival, photographic, and video documentation based on primary sources, testimonies, and field research.
Through precise mapping of massacre locations across municipalities and settlements, the project provides a systematic insight into the scale and patterns of shelling of civilian targets during the Siege of Sarajevo. The published content aims to preserve the dignity of the victims, strengthen the culture of remembrance, and contribute to the process of societal confrontation with war crimes, while also serving as a significant educational resource for educational institutions, researchers, students, and future generations.
