Latest News: 19 May 2025 - Call for nominations to join the Independent Institution’s first Advisory Board

The Independent Institution was established by the UN General Assembly in June 2023 and is dedicated to determining the fate and whereabouts of all missing persons in Syria, and to supporting survivors and families of the missing. 

The Independent Institution will never request a fee for its work, and survivors and families may always deal with the Independent Institution directly if they so choose, and there is no requirement for them to use any intermediary to communicate with us.
