The Unit for the Search of Disappeared Persons (UBPD) is responsible for searching those people who were disappeared in the context of the armed conflict. It is one of the three institutions of the Comprehensive System for Truth, Justice, Reparations, and Non-Repetition (CSTJRN) that arose from the Peace Agreement signed in 2016. The unit was developed in response to requests by relatives of disappeared persons, and civil society organizations that were part of the peace dialogues. In particular, they asked for the establishment of an institution in charge of searching for the disappeared without discrimination on the basis of their origin, age, gender, religion, militancy, or any other factor.
