Services provided by the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement
Trying to locate people, and put them back into contact with their relatives, is a major challenge for the ICRC. The work includes tracing people, exchanging family messages, reuniting families and seeking to clarify the fate of those who remain missing
Restoring Family Links (RFL) is a program of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, more specifically the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies involving activities that aim to prevent separation and disappearance, look for missing persons, restore and maintain contact between family members and clarify the fate of persons reported missing.[1] The activities are carried out by the components of the RFL is sometimes also referred to as family tracing.
The ICRC and National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies form together a global network,[2] the Family Links Network. This network works across international borders, present with staff and volunteers at grass-roots level worldwide, to locate people and put them back into contact with their relatives, observing of the principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
The most common situations where the Family Links Network takes action are when loss of contact is due to armed conflict or other situations of violence; natural or man-made disaster; migration and in other situations of humanitarian need, such as allowing detainees to keep in touch with their families while in prison.
RFL services are free of charge.
