ICTY Srebrenica Autopsy reports
For twenty-five years autopsy reports have been the only tangible evidence in existence of what passes as the “Srebrenica narrative”. Between 1996 and 2001 those reports were prepared by the forensic experts of the Office of the Prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal. Technically, the task of those experts was to conduct exhumations of mass graves considered to be related to the mid-July 1995 execution of prisoners in and around Srebrenica. But the real task of those forensic teams was to document the assertion, launched well before any on site investigations were even undertaken, that in the period immediately following the fall of Srebrenica on July 11, 1995, Serbian forces had executed 8,000 prisoners. The Prosecution’s goal was to use the findings of their forensic experts as its evidence-in-chief in Srebrenica trials.
Srebrenica Historical Project reviewed every single one of the 3,568 autopsy reports that Prosecution experts had prepared in the course of their activities in the field. The analysis of what those reports contain has since been published many times, including on our web site. The findings which emerge from those autopsy reports do not at all support the assertions of the Prosecution of the Hague Tribunal. That is the most likely reason that the Prosecution never presented a detailed breakdown of the information these autopsy reports contain, nor did any of the ICTY chambers ever request from the Prosecution such a breakdown. The Hague Tribunal is simply bluffing that each of the over 3,500 available autopsies constitute proof of as many executions in July of 1995. In fact, about 70% of the autopsy reports do not conform to the execution scenario which the Prosecution had set out to prove when it sent its forensic personnel out into the field.
Up until about 2014 all autopsy reports were available for viewing on our previous web site, www.srebrenica-project.com. However, as the twentieth anniversary of Srebrenica was approaching at that time, our web site was hacked and disabled and, as a consequence, the autopsy reports in their original form became unavailable. The difficulty is that previously, in order to publish over 3,500 documents, some of them up to 30 pages long, we had to manually post every single document individually. We did not have the resources to repeat that process on our new, reorganised web site. We are therefore doing it now in a slightly different and more practical way. We have merged all autopsy reports pertaining to a single exhumed location, twenty-five in total, in a single pdf. document for that location. The evidence is no longer as easily navigable as it was before, but the important thing is that it is all there.
Our challenge to the partisans of the official Srebrenica narrative still stands. Let them take the trouble, as we had done, to review each and every one of the autopsy reports individually and then summarise their findings in tabular form, as we have done.
Would they be able to dispute the fact that out of 3,568 autopsy reports, 1,583 or 44,4%, consist of body fragments alone and that even ICTY Prosecution forensic experts were unable to determine the cause of death in 92,4% of those cases?
Will they dispute that the pattern of injury was from a bullet in only 655 cases, which allows for the possibility of execution? Or that in 442 cases the victim was found with a headscarf or handcuffed, or both, suggesting execution to a virtual certainty?
Will they deny that in 477 cases it can confidently be concluded that the subjects were not executed because the pattern of injury included shrapnel and other metallic fragments inconsistent with execution? Or that 150 cases evidenced blast injuries which can only be attributed to artillery munitions, which also excludes execution?
Will they be able to refute our finding, based on the femur bone count, that although Prosecution forensicists by misrepresenting bone fragments as individual persons may have inflated the number of “cases” to 3,568, in fact the only reliable evidence of paired femur bones supports the presence of no more than about 1,920 individuals in all Srebrenica mass graves? And, most importantly, that they died in a variety of manners, of which only a small percentage is consistent with execution?
We are again placing all the relevant empirical data at their and the general public’s disposal, giving everyone who is so inclined the opportunity to dispute our interpretation. If they succeed, we will cheerfully admit that we were wrong and that at least about half of the claimed 8,000 Srebrenica execution victims are thus factually proved.

Every single Serb who was indicted for war crimes was extradited to the Hague.
All the Bosnian Muslims had to do was reciprocate in good faith, and establish the exact number of their victims at Srebrenica.
Instead, they chose to become willing collaborators /pawns of the AZ empire: The genocide narrative, however flimsy, is needed to justify NATO’s “Operation Noble Anvil” – the attack on ex-Yugoslavia.
And then people wonder why we don’t have reconciliation & closure in the Balkans.
This is not something I have followed closely and I know most of what I know of it from articles such as this on these pages.. It seems another constructed narrative is being carefully protected by the programmers and thought-police.
The author of ICTY Srebrenica Autopsy Reports (all connected) underwent a difficult process to reconstruct what happened, so precise, even taking the time and effort to help us visualize relationships I never knew existed.
They proceeded forward under the most difficult of circumstances.
Your project was holding the weight of mountains…but kept go’n,
It is hard for me to find words to describe my appreciation, and admiration.
I am deeply sorry if Muslims in that region had the opportunity, but sided with the wrong players on the world stage.
It does sound like a carefully constructed narrative is being protected by the capricious “thought-police”
Despite the criticism that Mr. Stefan Karganovic receives from his haters, no single person has done as much to bring the truth about the tragic events surrounding Srebrenica 1995 to light.
The man deserves all the praise as his research has collected thousands of valuable documents, papers, videos, books that refute the Wests lies surrounding the Genocide Myth and its purpose to whitewash their own crimes and demonise the largest victims of the crime that was the violent breakup of Yugoslavia!
Great thanks to him and the Saker for allowing his work to be published when the detractors would rather suppress the truth or punish those fighting for free speech!
These historical documents and similar ones found on his website must be preserved as the Western powers are working in overdrive to pressure the regional governments to make it a crime for challenging their fake and revisionist interpretation of what happened in July 1995, instead of focusing on events from 1992-1995 as a whole and the actual Genocide suffered by the Serbs who were massacred in over 100 villages surrounding Srebrenica.
No sane and rational person denies the war crimes committed post the fall of the so-called Safe Area but these need to be put into context and what Mr Karganovic and his contributors do is analyse the information and allow the reader to see for themselves and come to their own conclusions.
What is clear is that no organised plan existed to take the Safe Area let alone massacre the men & boys as is claimed as is evident by the conclusions from the ICTY and testimony from DUTCHBAT UN peacekeeps and survivors. Individuals were murdered but who gave the orders and under what pretext we will never know but the alternative information presented to us affords a more clear picture as opposed to that presented by the Bosniak side who are quick to claim victimhood despite killing over 3,000 Serbs who lived in their ancestral homes for centuries!
As we approach another anniversary we must pause and reflect on all the innocent victims who fell, be they Serb, Bosniak or Croat and pray that justice is served as sadly the international community has failed the vast majority but we the educated will not be silenced!
Best wishes and strength to Mr. Karganovic and the greater Saker Community!
Dobar dan!
I agree with you and I appreciate the value of revisionist historians, like Mr S.Karganovic.
The West destroyed Yugoslavia because the system did work and it was the first step for all other so called ‘humanitarian wars’ which are war crimes.
My father was a Yugoslav partisan which fought Pavelic and Nazi Germany and finished in Buchenwald, like many other Yugoslavs. He always insisted in being Yugoslav and not a Croat, for the sake of racial and cultural harmony.
Cheers from France.
Absolutely brilliant comment. Couldn’t agree with you more.
I am slowly trying to learn this truth and the wider context you describe.
I can almost say with some certainty that the genocide claim is a major slander against the Serbian people. Never mind the lack of hard evidence of the 8000 number ritually proclaimed. I need to understand the context much better but realise major atrocities were committed by the Bosnia Muslim side egged on by the usual culprits and with a tainted Islamic ideology and ethos. There was animosity., clashes and killings from both sides but as the evidence suggests above, no premeditated or systemic mass murder of the sebrenica enclave. The context you allude to during the three years prior to the event in question needs to be understood better. I’ll have to revisit S. Karganovic.
Thank you for the push.
Dear Abdullah,
No sir, thank you for continued “push” to encourage the truth and your openness to real reconciliation. Your honesty and quest for understanding is inspiring and most appreciated.
In order to triumph against the sociopaths and greedy scavengers, seeking to divide and destroy humanity, we must embrace our collective goodness and support our brothers and sisters. Regardless of ones race, ethnicity or religion.
There is a wonderful, young Croatian theologian and historian, Goran Saric, who has made it his life’s work to uncover the historical truth. In his brave attempt to promote reconciliation and understanding between the Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims. I hope, one day soon, The Saker will feature his superbly researched historical analyses. Kind hearted Azra would be proud.
Sadly, I had grown tired and disheartened, trying to reason with those nefarious voices promulgating their hate, seeking to foment animosity between good Muslims and Orthodox Christians, here at the vineyard. I must say, your honesty and kindness, will resonate with me for many years to come.
Thank you, dear Abdullah!
Thank you. I appreciate your words deeply.
There’s a saying from our traditions, ‘the path of truth / righteousness, is a path of fire’
This has been applicable and perhaps more so today. I will continue digging God willing.
Your right to call the young researcher brave. Uncovering the truth requires bravery to go against those with pre-conditioned knowledge as well as bravery proclaiming that new found truth.
God bless dear friend.
But what about the Jasenovac narrative?
“Until now the bloodthirsty Ustasha have murdered about 700 000 Serbs, there is no denying it. We know the truth, we have the facts. We have accurate and documented figures.” (Baron von Massenbach to Ustasha representatives at a axis conference in Belgrade organised by General Alexander von Lohr, Commander-in-Chief the Southeast Army Group E, 27 August 1942).
“The Ustashe do not limit their bestial atrocities to able bodied males. Their main victims are mainly old and women and children. It is absolutely necessary to take all measures to restrain the Ustasha.” (Walter Schellenberg, Himmler’s Chief of Foreign Intelligence, 2 February 1942).
These are but few notes from Nazi archives reporting about their Croatian allies.
Dobar dan
There is no denying that the Ustasha regime was barbaric and genocidal.
Do not say “their Croatian allies”. Suggest “their Ustasha allies”.
Many Croats joined the partisans and fought criminal Pavelic, German nazis and Italian fascists.
My father was one of them.
Cheers from France.
“Do not say “their Croatian allies”. Suggest “their Ustasha allies”.”
“Many Croats joined the partisans and fought criminal Pavelic, German nazis and Italian fascists”
Mario,
Sincerely, Thank you for your perspective. I respect your position regarding Yugoslavia and your honesty regarding the Ustasha. But, in this case, I’m afraid it’s more than reasonable to call those Nazis, Croatian allies.
Respect and appreciation to your father for refusing to join the most vile and sadistic murderers known to history;The Croatian and to a far lesser extent, bosnian Muslim comprised Ustasha. My paternal grandfather also fought for the Partisans, in Srbska Krajina. (But only after being forced at gunpoint.)
A few pertinent historical facts:
-Save for a supposed kingdom of Croatia, which lasted several decades, in the 11th century, the Nazi puppet state of Croatia was the only time Croatia, officially existed as a sovereign state. Of course the documents claiming the short lived 11nth century kingdom even existed are Vatican and Frankish sourced books and maps. The Vatican and Germanic tribes just happen to be the greatest historical enemies of the Slavs
-The WWII era (1941-1945), Nazi created state of Croatia, or NDH., and their state sanctioned Ustasha, were in fact supported by a majority of the croats.( nearly as many Serbs lived within the fictitious borders of Croatia, as Croatians)
-The overwhelming majority of regular partisan soldiers were Serbs. It’s absolutely correct that there were ethnic Croats, such as your father, who fought with the partisans, from the beginning of their entry in the war. Yet, most Croatians who joined the partisans did so only after the crushing defeat of the Nazis at Stalingrad. In fact, many of the captured Nazi Croat soldiers miraculously escaped justice and became partisans over night. Quite literally.
Look forward to reading your future commentary. You’re truly a welcome addition. Forgive me Mario, I understand it’s difficult to see “Croatian allies”, when speaking of the Nazis. however difficult it might be to see it written or hear it said, a considerable majority of the ethnic Croatian population, during WWII, and certainly the independent state of Croatia, were enthusiastic allies of Nazi Germany.
.
Dobar dan!
I see and respect your commentary.
On what you say, I understand now why my father insisted in being called Yugoslav and not Croat.
After the war he moved to Argentina (he was refused visa to the US because of his partisan/communist b/ground) and he refused to mingle with the big Croatian community in Buenos Aires.
When I was a kid, he used to take me to the port, whenever there was a Jugolinja vessel, since he enjoyed to chat with the captains & officers and drink his Slivovitz, more so if he could meet somebody coming from Zargorje..
He was not very ideological, but he did see Yugoslavia as the only possibility for Serbs, Croats and the rest to be in peace..
Cheers from France
Real casualties in Jasenovac were around 80 000, almost 10x less then Serbian mitomans ( not majority among Serbs) claim…
Nobody use number of 700 000 except some dubious circles in Serbia . Demographic losses can be precisely calculated. There was a census before WWII and after..
If 700 000 is true Serbs couldn’t form majority in certain area of Croatia and Bosnia and Hercegovina, actually Serbs would have been completely missing in both Croatia and most of the Bosnia in period after WWII.
As for the number of Croatians in partisans You are also giving false numbers. It is the best to use number of Croatians and Serbs while serving in partisans. There were 45 000 Croatians killed and 80 000 Serbs killed in partisans. Given the fact that in Yugoslavia Serbs twice outnumbered Croatians it means that these numbers are the same per capita. These are pure facts. I could go on for hours giving you facts and explaining reasns behing events in WWII in former Yugoslavia but these pure facts are good enough.
Jovan Ducic, Serbian diplomat and poet, after he was informed of bestiality and genocide, said “Croatians are the bravest people in the world, they are not ashamed of anything.”
Well Croats/Croatia were never punished and were essentially rewarded for that – as Croatia always got extra territory/land despite being on the Axis and Nazi sides in the war, and despite that Serbian soldiers had control of Dalmatia, for instance, at the end of WWI.
And the mainstream media never spoke of Jasenovac to any degree which brought awareness to foreigners. Only a minuscule percent of people outside the former Yugoslavia have even heard of it.
And I’ve seen hundreds of pictures of starved and emaciated Serbian children and babies – some officially documented Red Cross photos (taken by nurses) – to see that there was plenty of evidence of torture and murder of Serbs – even the tiny children. & considering that which was photographed (and wasn’t taken by war propagandists/journalists) represents only a tiny fraction of what went on, then the genocide of Serbs was likely greater than realized.
That is pure BS…
Ustashe were never elected by Croatian people( they were imposed by German Nazis and Italian fascists) and other nations had their own collaborationists..
