National Registry of Disappeared People
The National Registry of Missing People is designed by the Government and coordinated by the National Institute of Legal Medicine. It contains data on: a) the identity of missing persons; b) the place and date of the events; c) the list of corpses or remains of unidentified people, with the indication of the place and date of discovery, conditions, characteristics, evidence, results of analyses and any other data that leads to their identification. In the course of judicial investigations, the Prosecutor or the Attorney General's Office shall send victims' data to the Registry requesting the necessary information to locate them.Legal Instrument

The UN CED expressed concerned about the lack of clear and reliable information on the number of disappeared persons in the State. It noted that, although the National Register of Disappeared Persons was the only official register of disappeared persons, different institutions still held multiple databases containing conflicting information on such persons. It recognised that progress has been made towards the cleansing of the National Register and its consolidation as the single source of information but regretted that the process was not yet complete.
