SARAJEVO, July 24 (FENA) - Šefik Džaferović, Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a candidate for the BiH Presidency member, announced that he will initiate the establishment of a Center for Truth and Justice that will focus on tracking down and gathering information on fugitive war criminals wherever they might be.
“We are witnessing that many war crimes perpetrators, including those who committed genocide, are still at large, and many of them have fled to the countries of Western Europe and United States, thinking that they have escaped justice.
The Center's task would be to document crimes, identify war criminals, reveal their addresses and report them to the domestic or prosecutor's offices of the countries in which they reside,” said Džaferović.
The Center for Truth and Justice, said Džaferović, would be modeled on the Simon Wiesenthal Center and would use its experience in bringing to justice those responsible for war crimes against Jews in World War II.
“The Center would act as a non-governmental organization that would support the competent institutions in BiH, but would also cooperate with the police and prosecutor's offices of the countries where war crimes suspects reside. War criminals must know that their crimes are not forgotten and that there is no statute of limitations on them. We will persecute them as long as they are alive. Justice will reach them, sooner or later,” said Džaferović.
