The State of Kuwait Permanent Delegate to the United Nations Ambassador Tareq Al-Bannai affirmed that the Security Council resolution 2474 regarding missing persons in armed conflicts is a historic achievement towards justice. This came in Al-Bannai's speech late Thursday during an Arria-formula Security Council meeting on the aforementioned resolution, which was unanimously adopted and co-sponsored by 68 countries. It is an important step towards addressing the consequences of those missing in armed conflicts, Al-Bannai noted. He explained that resolution 2474 supports the Council's efforts in putting forth a comprehensive strategy preventing disappearances, ensuring accountability, and providing support to affected families of the missing persons. An Arria-formula meeting is part of the UN Security Council where members and non-members can address issues in confidentiality. Resolution 2474 was penned by Kuwait in 2019, underscoring the appropriate measures taken to actively search for missing persons i n armed conflicts. Source: Kuwait News Agency
