29. Symbols of a civilized society? If the answer is yes, America is doomed...

While it is important for incidents to be as clearly defined and distinguishable from each other as possible, the same holds even more true for victims. A full list of every victim of the conflict, individual by individual, name by name, remains the ultimate long-term goal of the IBC project.

In explaining this approach we wrote, in 2008,

It is always difficult to convey the gravity and pain contained in the experiences behind the numbers. Although we may speak of dozens killed in a particular incident or thousands over a span of time, it is of course individuals who die and are mourned. And no society considers itself civilised if it fails to give the dead the final dignity of recognition not as a mass, but as individuals.
