Resolution 4 – Restoring Family Links while respecting privacy, including as it relates to personal data protection

Summary

Restoring Family Links (RFL) is the term given by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (Movement) to the range of activities that aim to prevent separation and disappearance, clarify the fate and whereabouts of missing persons, restore and maintain contact between family members and facilitate family reunification whenever possible. The resolution “Restoring Family Links while respecting privacy, including as it relates to personal data protection” was adopted at the 33rd International Conference in December 2019 and reaffirms the specific role of the Movement in RFL and in cooperation with States in this field, including recognition of the Movement’s need to process and transfer personal data for exclusively humanitarian purposes.
 
The implementation of this resolution is led by the RFL Implementation Group (IG) for the Movement. The IG also supports the implementation of the new RFL Strategy 2020–2025 which was adopted by the 2019 Council of Delegates, with the support of the RFL Code of Conduct on Data Protection Application Group, which provides technical expertise on data protection. With assistance from the IG, the RFL Leadership Platform steers implementation at the strategic level. The IG supports and monitors the implementation of the RFL Strategy at the global service level and provides guidance and direction for the regional RFL platforms. It is also developing a monitoring and evaluation framework for the new RFL Strategy.
