The Hague, 22 December 2025: The International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) has established a Committee on Data, which will oversee the processing and protection of personal and related data, in addition to providing an appeals instance for data subjects and third parties.
The Committee on Data is composed of six members disposing of broad specialist expertise in the field of data processed by ICMP for diverse purposes, including accounting for missing persons, providing evidence in judicial proceedings, transparency, and disseminating data to the public. The members of the Committee are:

“Over the past 30 years, ICMP has developed reporting and data-processing systems that are now used throughout the world,” ICMP Director-General Kathryne Bomberger said today. “The Committee on Data represents the further development of ICMP’s institutional framework, ensuring the lawful, transparent, and secure processing of personal data collected and managed by ICMP as it implements its mandate working globally with a growing number of partners and data subjects.”
