Missing persons: The Right to know
Many people go missing during conflict or war causing anguish and uncertainty for their families and friends. In the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, families of those who went missing during the Bougainville Crisis (1988 to 1998) have the right under international humanitarian law to know what happened to their missing relatives.
In 2020, the ICRC:
interviewed dozens of families in Siwai and Topinang communities in Bougainville to raise awareness on those missing and to better understand the needs and interests of their families
supported families in organizing traditional ceremonies to remember loved ones and in the construction of memorial monuments to commemorate missing relatives in Central and South Bougainville

Kennedy Makande is a grade eight student at Kepalam Primary School in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. He is soft spoken and down to earth, one of those kids who loves telling a story through drawing. In fact, he is one of the most talented visual art students at his school, particularly when it comes to drawing pictures using only one’s imagination. Last year, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) started a drawing competition with the school. The project engaged students to draw pictures showing the consequences of tribal fighting the Highlands, and how they want schools to be protected – from tribal fights. The best drawings were turned into paintings on the classroom
