Summary/Abstract: There are numerous findings, based solely on media and other reports, on the as yet unidentified number of Bosnians who, during the 1991­1996 aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, were forcibly fled and forcibly displaced from the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, (hereinafter: the Republic of Serbia), were illegally detained and on that occasion numerous forms of crimes against humanity and international law were (committed) against them. A number of victims stayed in camps (or “collection centers”, as they were officially named by the authorities of the Republic of Serbia), which were located in both a number of known and a number of unknown locations. The scientific and general public is not yet disillusioned with the number and locations of camps in the Republic of Serbia, and the number of detained victims of aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the relationship between Serbian authorities and direct perpetrators of crimes against detained victims. The main goal of this research is to answer the central question: were these collection centers o f a humanitarian nature or camps where crimes were (committed), and if crimes were committed, to determine their character? Under international humanitarian law, any illegal detention of civilians is considered a violation of that right and is a crime against humanity and international law.
