Abstract

This is the second in IOM´s series of global reports on missing migrants. The first report was published in 2014 – Fatal Journeys: Tracking Lives Lost during Migration. This second report has two main objectives. First, it provides an update of global trends in migrant fatalities since 2014. Data on the number and profile of dead and missing migrants are presented for different regions of the world, drawing upon the data collected through IOM´s Missing Migrants Project. Second, the report examines the challenges facing families and authorities seeking to identify and trace missing migrants. The study compares practices in different parts of the world, and identifies a number of innovative measures that could be potentially replicated elsewhere.
