Peru: turning the right to know into reality

Years after the end of the conflict that rocked Peru in the 1980s, many families still do not know what happened to relatives who disappeared. The ICRC is supporting efforts by a number of State and civil society bodies to end the suffering of these families and to turn their right to know into reality.

For the ICRC, the tragedy of disappearance affects not only the missing person but also their family. Families suffer as a result of not knowing what has happened, and it may be impossible for them to rebuild their lives.
