The absence of an official response can place a significant emotional and administrative burden on relatives. The new framework provides clearer channels for locating missing persons and identifying remains. It also supports families throughout the process, from the initial report to the post-mortem debriefing. Ultimately, the aim is to minimise the distress experienced by families and ensure that tragedies are not forgotten. Beyond the humanitarian aspect, the initiative is part of a broader regional security and stability framework. Strengthening national capacities and cross-border cooperation can improve migration management, reduce the risks of irregular migration, and support more coherent public policies regarding employment, education and social protection for vulnerable young people.
