The search for missing persons is an ethical and legal problem that has captured the attention of important international bodies. In this context, the United Nations Committee against Enforced Disappearances approved in 2019 the Guiding Principles for the Search for Missing Persons. Although this is a set of good practices systematized in a soft law instrument, they represent a road map for every State that implements a public search policy for missing persons. Therefore, this paper will critically analyze the main contributions of this Principles.
