Poland: The ICRC supports National Societies in collecting and managing tracing cases of persons missing in relation to international armed conflict in Ukraine

To highlight the work by Polish Red Cross (PRC) to restore and maintain family links, the ICRC Warsaw Delegation organized the visit of Dusan Vujasanin, the head of the ICRC’s Central Tracing Agency Bureau (CTA-B), to Warsaw in March 2024. He discussed with the Polish authorities the IHL-mandated role of the CTA-B and its work and of the National Information Bureaus of the parties to the conflict in handling cases of missing and detained persons, and shared number of tracing cases related to the international armed conflict in Ukraine. He also met the PRC Tracing Team members to discuss and answer their questions and paid a visit to the PRC’s archives, used until this day to answer questions of families regarding WWII.
