Summary/Abstract: The current way of archiving and storage of material on missing persons creates good assumption that one day when MPI stops working, it is handed over to the archives of BiH in orderly form. Since the existing legal framework provides for certain exemptions to family members of missing persons, it is expected that for many years to build that occurs in the work of the MPI be be used for evidential purposes for the right of family members of missing persons. The implication could one day take over BiH Archive. Apart from exercising certain rights, it is certain that many materials used MPI for its scientific research. All this creates an obligation that the documents are stored in orderly form, with a special challenge lumber regional and field offices. A particular challenge for documentations MPI special is the fact that the MPI is a specific structure created in the work of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP), which have special rules when it comes to the availability of their holdings. In fact, these institutions allow the use of their material exclusively to facilitate the process of tracing and identifying missing persons.
