OIC representative: Families of missing persons’ right to information should not depend on political negotiations

The right of families to know the fate of missing persons must be decoupled from political negotiations, establishing access to information as a fundamental legal and moral obligation rather than a charitable act. An impartial mechanism for exchanging and verifying data, supported by enhanced forensic capabilities, should center the process on affected families to ensure reliable outcomes regardless of broader geopolitical disputes. This perspective is vital for open data initiatives, emphasizing that humanitarian information systems must remain independent, accessible, and technically robust to uphold human rights without being hindered by diplomatic leverage.
