Rights of Missing People and the Role of Technology in Mitigating Their Plight
- Abstract
This paper examines the problems faced and causes of missing persons, why they often remain missing, and the efforts to find them. Accounting for the missing and securing the Human Rights of survivors is the central component of good governance, advancing the rule of law and state responsibility. Locating every missing person means no authority can guarantee, promise, or be bound. However, authorities must ensure a process that meets the standard of effective investigations under the law. Resentment and, in many instances, mass disaffection of survivors are fueled by deliberate or negligent failure by authorities to conduct a formal and meaningful inquiry. SEAL Ashram's task is to assist families in determining the fate or whereabouts of their family members who have reportedly disappeared. In that humanitarian capacity, the Ashram communicates between the missing person, NCRB, police authorities, and the families waiting and hopeful for a reunion with its concept of RESCUNITE. To explain the possible data-sharing network and explore new technologies to uplift and reunite the missing and left out. The paper explores how technologies can help recognize the separated and reunite them.
