Since the one-party system established by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ, renamed the League of Yugoslav Communists in 1952) and its wartime leader, Josip Broz Tito, based its legitimacy on the victory of the Partisan resistance movement, memory politics after 1945 relied heavily on preserving the monopoly over the Party’s narrative of the war. Rejecting the interwar Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempts at forging a single Yugoslav identity and the radical nationalist extermination agendas from 1941-1945 (particularly by the Ustaša and Četnik movements), the new political elite sought to create a federal state with increasingly autonomous republics that was nonetheless ruled by a single Party.

Conclusion: Ninety-two per cent of the approximately 2,050 non-Thai victims, and 53% of the 1600 Thai victims, were identified. This equals an identification rate of 87.77%, of whom 44% were identified by their dental status. Of the 3680 officially registered victims who had died, 3272 could be identified.
After one year the dental ID rate of about 55% proved the significance of the method. Only recent AM data of good quality permitted rapid and reliable identification of the victims. Ante mortem data (AM), including information about dental treatment (miniature radiographs, OPTG and treatment chart) were given particular attention. scars), was performed in a highly standardized manner directly at Phuket/Thailand. Results: Registration of post mortem data (PM), such as primary identification characteristics, as well as clothing and physical features (e.g. The ante mortem (AM) data of the victims were sent to Thailand and entered into the software program DVI System International (Plass Data Software, Denmark). Standard operating protocols of post mortem (PM) procedures were established.
Material and Methods: In order to identify more than 3,680 victims from 39 nations in the area of Phuket/Thailand under Interpol’s coordinated efforts, more than 20 countries participated in the identification process at the Thai Tsunami Victim Identification – Information Management Center (TTVI-IMC). In December 2004 a seaquake and its resulting tidal wave devastated large coastal regions in the Indian Ocean and cost about 250,000 human lives.
