Details

The European Parliament adopted a declaration on the work of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus.

Members recall that during the 1963-1964 intercommunal fighting, and thereafter with the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, around 2000 individuals from both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities were reported as missing and that the whereabouts and fate of many of these individuals are still unknown. They also recall that the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP), which is supported financially by the United Nations, the European Commission and other donors, works to establish the fate of those reported missing.

Recognising the work of the CMP and it post-conflict role, Parliament calls on the European Commission to continue to allocate sufficient resources to the CMP to enable it to fulfil its important mandate.

It calls on the Governments of Turkey and Cyprus to continue to support the CMP's work, to redouble efforts to account for those individuals still listed as missing and to ensure that all information that could facilitate the mission of the CMP is made freely available to it.
