“The right of families of the missing to dignity and justice, which is explicitly dictated to the Ecumenical Declaration of Human Rights“, Highlighted by ND and EPP MEP Fredis Beleris during his intervention in the plenary of the European Parliament.

The discussion had the topic: ‘The Ecumenical Declaration on Human Rights: The EU’s need to contribute to resolving the humanitarian crisis of missing in wars and conflicts“

Mr Beleris referred to Cyprus, where families are still looking for their relatives in Albania, where about 6,000 people are still missing, stressing that “the same phenomenon has been observed in other countries”.

“We have the moral and political responsibility to help restore this injustice, “he said, recalling that” the European Parliament took the first step in 2015, approving a resolution on group tombs missing in the village of Ornithi, in the occupied part of Cyprus.“

“Because behind every missing there is a family, a story and endless pain. Behind every truth that does not come to light, there are our own responsibilities“, He concluded.
