Cefkin. Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). ¶1. (U) Action request: see paragraph 3. ¶2. (C) On July 16 the Office of the High Representative supplied Embassy with a list of 90 individuals who are currently under investigation by the Office of the Prosecutor for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) for suspected involvement in war crimes in connection with the massacre of over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys in Srebrenica in July 1995. High Representative Miroslav Lajcak has ordered BiH authorities not to permit these people to travel outside of BiH. In light of the High Representative's decision, we believe the Department should find the individuals listed below ineligible for visa issuance pursuant to section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and make the corresponding entries into the CLASS system. Post has divided the list into three parts. Paragraph 3 contains names of 83 individuals for whom Post is requesting 212(f) findings for the first time. Paragraph 4 contains three names of individuals for whom Post previously requested 212(f) designation per REFTEL based on their inclusion in the EU Visa Ban list. Paragraph 5 contains 4 names of individuals who have already been found ineligible per section 212(f). ¶3. (C) ACTION REQUEST: Post requests that the following 83 individuals be found ineligible for visa issuance pursuant to section 212(f) of the INA and Presidential Proclamation 7452 of June 26, 2001 for "directing, planning or carrying out wartime atrocities" in a state of the Western Balkans since ¶1991. Place of birth is given as the current territory that was part of the former Yugoslavia. We recommend using the following annotation with each name: "Subject of investigation into the Srebrenica genocide announced in July 2007."
