Following a request from the UK and the USA, the UN Security Council convened to assess the implementation of Resolution 2474 (2019), which addresses missing persons due to armed conflicts. This includes the missing persons of Cyprus, an issue directly affecting Greece and Cyprus. Resolution 2474 condemns deliberate targeting of civilians in armed conflicts and calls on parties involved to take all feasible measures to locate, identify, and return missing persons and their remains. Both Greece and Cyprus have condemned Turkey at the UN Security Council for obstructing efforts to locate the remains of the missing persons in Cyprus. The Permanent Representative of Greece, Ambassador Evangelos Sekeris, emphasized that Resolution 2474 is a landmark for collective efforts to resolve the issue of missing persons in armed conflicts and highlighted Greece’s full support for the UN’s work through committees for the missing. Meanwhile, Ambassador Maria Michael of Cyprus thanked the Greek Presidency of the Security Council and underscored the historic significance of Resolution 2474 as the first dedicated exclusively to missing persons in armed conflicts. She criticized Turkey for failing to prevent disappearances during its illegal invasion in 1974 and for refusing accountability or providing information to families. Turkey defended itself, arguing that the issue must consider historical contexts and accused Cyprus of politicizing the matter. Despite differing narratives, the UN Assistant Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs expressed deep concern about the rising number of missing persons globally and reiterated the importance of implementing Resolution 2474 fully.
