Beyond remembrance, the exhibition aimed to raise public awareness about the missing issue and to encourage empathy and solidarity from local officials, NGOs, media and community members.
In the region affected by the Karabakh conflict, more than 5,000 people, including military personnel and civilians, have been reported missing since the 1990s. As a neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian organization whose exclusively humanitarian mandate is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence, the ICRC remains committed to supporting the families and the authorities to clarify the fate of the missing people.
