چکیده

جنگ‌ها و حوادث گسترده با تلفات انسانی بالا، فرایند شناسایی بقایای قربانیان را با چالش‌های فنی، زمانی و انسانی مواجه می‌کنند. این مقاله با تمرکز بر تجربیات حاصل از جنگ‌های تحمیلی اخیر در ایران، به بررسی راهکارهای علمی و عملی موثر در تسریع و افزایش دقت در تعیین هویت پیکر شهدا می‌پردازد. در این راستا، نقش مدیریت صحیح صحنه حادثه، جمع‌آوری نظام‌مند نمونه‌ها بر اساس استانداردهای بین‌المللی، و اهمیت داده‌های پیش از مرگ و نمونه‌های مرجع خانوادگی مورد تحلیل قرار گرفته است. همچنین ظرفیت بافت‌های مختلف انسانی در استخراج و بازیابی اطلاعات ژنتیکی و کاربرد روش های نوین مولکولی در فرایند تشخیص هویت مورد بررسی قرار می‌گیرد. در سال‌های اخیر در ایران نیز با توسعه زیرساخت‌های تخصصی شناسایی ژنتیکی، از جمله فعالیت‌های انجام‌شده و تلاش شده روند شناسایی بقایای شهدا با دقت و سرعت بیشتر و پاسخگویی مؤثرتری به خانواده‌های قربانیان اینگونه حوادث صورت گیرد. در مجموع، به‌کارگیری رویکردهای علمی همراه با رعایت ملاحظات اخلاقی و انسانی می‌تواند نقش مهمی در بهبود فرایند شناسایی و کاهش ابهام برای بازماندگان ایفا کند.
