Below is an excerpt Where IFFAMPAC (Families of the Missing) is cited by the Secretary General of the UN for our role concerning Missing Persons
64. International cooperation to locate, identify and repatriate persons missing as a
result of violent conflict and human rights violations should be strengthened through
organizations such as the International Commission on Missing Persons, which
provide advanced technical assistance and policy frameworks responding to the
obligations of Governments in this regard, and through associations of victims’
families, such as the International Federation of Family Associations of Missing
Persons from Armed Conflicts which is an international federation of the families of
the missing from armed conflicts that works globally on behalf of the families to
address and help to resolve the multi-faceted issues of missing persons and their
surviving families post-conflict. These bodies have a major role to play in
international cooperation on the issue of missing persons.
