Plenary
Disasters and mass fatalities feature all too frequently in the news, as accidents, the consequences of terrorist activity or the casualties of war. The victims may be recovered and identified in the relative immediate aftermath of the event or it may be weeks, months or years later when their names and deaths are discovered.
This is the work of those involved in disaster victim identification, often difficult, frequently harrowing, but always necessary. These are the people who help to uncover what really happened and help to restore dignity to those whose lives were brutally ended.
In the light of increasing international conflicts the Closing Plenary addresses the subject of disaster victim identity and is an important reminder of a duty of care that extends way beyond what most people could ever imagine
