missing persons during and after the wars. Uncertainty about the fate of their missing relatives
is very painful anguish for families. Mothers, fathers, siblings, spouses, children are
desperately trying to find any information about their loved ones. But, which rights do this
people have? How international communities help to these people? Which international
instruments are there in this field? In this topic we will found answers to these issues.

fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State”.

The Central Prisoners of War Agency must be set up in neutral state. Now, this agency
was created within the International Committee of Red Cross.
When talking about the missing persons we must underline the role of Additional
Protocol 1 to the Geneva Conventions which was adopted on 8 June 1977. Article 33 of this
protocol is about missing persons. According to this article;“
As soon as circumstances permit,
and at the latest from the end of active hostilities, each Party to the conflict shall search for the
persons who have been reported missing by an adverse Party. Such adverse Party shall
transmit all relevant information concerning such persons in order to facilitate such searches”.
International community in every case is interested to clarify the fate of missing persons.
For this reasonExpert for the Special Process on Missing Persons was created in Former
Yugoslavia. Furthermore lots of resolutions adopted in international level such United Nations
General Assembly’s resolution which was adopted in 1974.In this resolution clarifying the fate
of missing persons was set as duty of state and states must provide information about those who
are reported as missing persons. ICRC resolutions has big role in solving this problem,
especially resolutions adopted in 1986, 1995, 1999. The main objective of these relations were
families’ right to be informed about the fate of their family members. In 1999 International
Conference of Red Cross and Red Crescent adopted the Plan of Action for years 2000-2003.In
this act also stressed that all parties to the conflict must do everything to account for missing
people and provide families of missing persons with any information about the fate of their
loved ones.
There are some landmark cases about missing persons both in European Court of Human
Rights and Inter-American Court of Human Rights. One of the famous cases is ECtHR case of
Kurt v. Turkey.

“Çox şadam ki, Azərbaycan gəncləri ölkənin ictimai-siyasi həyatında çox fəal iştirak edirlər.
Bu, çox təqdirəlayiq bir haldır. Mən hesab edirəm ki, gənclər irəliyə doğru daha da inamla
getməlidirlər, müvafiq dövlət, hökumət orqanlarında gənclərə böyük yer ayrılmalıdır, onlara
inam olmalıdır. Çünki bugünkü gənc sabah ölkəmizi idarə edəcəkdir. Bugünkü gənclər bir neçə
ildən sonra Azərbaycanın bütün idarəetmə sistemində əsas rol oynayacaqlar”
