The search for missing persons and prevention of disappearances
Tens of thousands of persons go missing every year in armed conflicts, other situations of violence, in the context of migration, disasters and other emergencies. Switzerland aims to strengthen preventive efforts so that people do not go missing in the first place, and is engaged to improve the search for the missing and to restore family links.
