International Conference of Governmental and Non-Governmental
Experts: The Missing
An international conference convened by the International Committee
of the Red Cross (ICRC) took place in Geneva on action to clarify
the fate of people missing as a result of armed conflict and internal
violence and to support their families.
The conference brought about a heightened awareness of this tragedy
and provided a renewed impetus for efforts that need to be made
by all those responsible for addressing the problem of the missing
and their families. It brought together over 350 governmental and
non-governmental experts from more than 90 countries, including
representatives of families of the missing.
The International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission was represented
by Dr. Roger Dubouloz
