In Colombia, more than 100,000 people have disappeared over the course of the country’s six decades of ongoing armed conflict. On October 21, USIP and the Embassy of Colombia hosted a public presentation on the Missing Persons Search Unit’s remarkable forensic and restorative work, as well as the launch of "Still Missing: Colombia's Search for the Disappeared from Six Decades of Ongoing Conflict," a temporary photo exhibit at USIP that details the unit’s search efforts.
