ICMP se trudi da obezbijedi saradnju vlada i drugih organa vlasti pri lociranju i identificiranju osoba nestalih tokom oružanih sukoba, drugih neprijateljskih dejstava ili kršenja ljudskih prava, te da im pruži pomoć pri sprovođenju ovih aktivnosti. ICMP također podržava rad drugih organizacija, podstiče uključivanje javnosti u ove napore i doprinosi razvijanju odgovarajućih oblika komemoracije i iskazivanja poštovanja prema nestalim osobama.
