Abstract

In Poland, apart from law enforcement agencies, the Institute of National Remembrance also deals with the search for homicide victims due to the fact that war crimes and genocide are not subject to the statute of limitations. New technologies used in both criminalistics and forensic archaeology allow even after many years to find homicide victims. These methods have various effectiveness. The author presents some practical, critical remarks regarding the application of some of them.
