According to the Draft Statute, RECOM is an intergovernmental committee established by the states constituted on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. This extra-judicial body will be tasked with: investigating all allegations of war crimes and other serious human rights violations in connection with the war; listing the names of all war victims and victims of crimes pertaining to the war; and collecting the information about the camps and other centers of forced detention. The regional commission will be independent of its founders. It will be funded from donations.
The Initiative for RECOM calls all post-Yugoslav countries to jointly establish this commission and determine the facts important for the history and for the future of the whole region of the former Yugoslavia, facts that will be equally acceptable to all former warring parties. By the end of 2014, more than 580,000 people from all over former Yugoslavia supported the initiative for the establishment of RECOM with their signatures.
