19 - 21 February 2003
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.
