This thematic workshop of the Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS) aims at discussing missing persons.
The issue of missing persons is a pressing and multifaceted challenge that affects all communities. It encompasses various categories and is influenced by diverse factors. People may go missing under a variety of circumstances.
Addressing this issue requires a coordinated response from multiple stakeholders. Law enforcement agencies play a pivotal role in investigating disappearances, coordinating searches, and leveraging forensic and technological tools to locate missing individuals. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) contribute by raising awareness, providing victim support, and facilitating cross-border cooperation. Additionally, the involvement of the wider public is crucial, as citizens can assist in search efforts and reporting crucial information.
