Description :
In many armed conflicts around the world, the plight of missing and forcibly disappeared people, and of their families is a silent tragedy – a wound that lingers far beyond the battlefield and long after the guns fall silent.
Cordula Droege, ICRC Head of the Legal Division, points out that the parties to an armed conflict must take all feasible measures to account for the missing, the separated and the dead, provide family members with information, and facilitate the restoration of family links. This involves searching for, collecting and evacuating the dead and facilitating the return of human remains to families upon request. Some IHL obligations regarding the missing continue even after the conflict has ended.
