Dear all,
The Mediterranean Missing project is a 1 year ESRC-funded research project and a collaboration between the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York, The International Organisation for Migration, and City University, London. The project seeks to collect data and explore current responses to migrant bodies in the Mediterranean, and the impacts of a missing relative on families left behind. In 2015, over 3,770 refugees and migrants are known to have died at sea while trying to reach Europe. The majority of these people are not identified, and in such cases a family is left in a state of ambiguous loss, unable to fully grieve for their loved one. This project aims to shed light on the policy vacuum at EU and national levels o this issue, through investigating law, policy and practice in Italy and Greece regarding the investigation, identification, burial and repatriation of migrant bodies. Research with families from Syria, Iraq and Tunisia aims to better understand the impacts of missing persons on their families.
The project is delighted to announce its first publication – a briefing note summarising initial findings. The note can be found at: http://www.mediterraneanmissing.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Mediterranean-Missing-Breifing-Note-June2016.pdf
Full results will be published in September. More information on the project can be found at: http://www.mediterraneanmissing.eu/
Best regards, Simon Robins
