A/HRC/14/42 113. States should cooperate at the international level in order to effectively solve cases of missing persons by providing mutual assistance in terms of information sharing, victim assistance, location and identification of missing persons, and exhuming, identifying and returning human remains. Parties to an armed conflict should refrain from acting on the basis of reciprocity in dealing with the issue of the missing. 114. International and regional organizations involved in solving the problem of missing persons should further develop cooperation within their respective mandates while ensuring synergies and avoiding duplication. Cooperation agreements and partnerships should be developed not only at intergovernmental level, but also with national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, civil society structures and associations of families of missing persons.
