TRACING SRI LANKA’S MISSING CHILDREN

“Tracing missing children is a very sensitive issue,” said Brigadier S. Galgamuwa, a consultant for the Vavuniya-based Family Tracing and Reunification Unit.
Run by the government with assistance from the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the unit is currently trying to trace 370 boys and 327 girls who have been reported missing since the conflict ended.
That's a lot of kids.
You don't tell anyone your kid is missing…interesting.
"Officials acknowledge that the actual number of missing children is probably far higher, with most cases not being formally registered."

Sri Lanka's government has set up an independent body to probe the disappearances of thousands of people during and after the country's bloody civil war.
The newly-created Office of Missing Persons (OMP) launched a series of public meetings on Saturday, ahead of the ninth anniversary marking the end of the 26-year conflict on May 18.
The OMP is the first of four mechanisms which Sri Lanka promised the United Nations Human Rights Council it would set up in its effort to grant justice to the victims.
After two years in the making, the body's members were appointed in February this year.
OMP Chairman Saliya Pieris acknowledged that families are finding it hard to trust the body, but insisted that the organisation has more powers than previous commissions.
"It is an institution set up by the state, but which is able to act independently and able to investigate and to trace people who have been missing or disappeared and their circumstances, whoever the perpetrator is," he told Al Jazeera.
"…whoever the perpetrator is." I thought you said thousands went missing due to the bloody civil war?
I once lived in base housing. This message would scare me.
