Description : Armed conflicts, natural disasters and migration have resulted in hundreds of thousands of people around the world going missing. Each missing person leaves behind loved ones in anguish not knowing what happened.
In Colombia, over 68,000 people are missing. In Nepal seven years after the end of the fighting more than 1,360 people are still reported missing by their families. In Uganda, nearly 10,000 people have vanished without a trace.
Under International Humanitarian Law, families of the missing have the right to know the fate of their loved ones. States have an obligation to take all feasible measures to clarify their whereabouts and inform their families accordingly. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is currently looking for more than 52,000 missing people, working directly with the families of missing persons and the authorities involved.
The ICRC - around the world - encourages the assessment of the multifaceted needs of the families of the missing. They encounter a variety of economic, administrative, legal, psychological and psychosocial difficulties. In order to respond properly to all those interconnected needs, the ICRC promotes a holistic response helping families cope better with their lives.
