Uncovering the identity of individuals killed in conflict zones is a fundamental humanitarian effort that brings closure to families and documents human rights abuses. But how is this complex process accomplished? Through the integration of advanced technology, forensic science, and collaboration among various entities, forensic experts are able to extract DNA from remains found in conflict zones and compare them to reference samples obtained from potential family members. Donating to support DNA testing initiatives can help ensure that unidentified victims receive proper burials, families find solace in their mourning, and justice is served for the crimes committed during conflicts.
