The topic of the participation of forensic experts in the elimination of the consequences of emergencies with a large number of human casualties has remained relevant for many years. Every year there are more and more reports about problematic issues of the organization and provision of forensic medical support in cases of mass death of people, including in cases of armed conflicts.

Standardized work algorithms and standardized forms are important components of the identification process of the deceased, will simplify and formalize the registration, description and further exchange of information regarding unidentified dead bodies, avoid mistakes and omissions
