Forensic Capacity Building

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works with local authorities, forensic institutions and practitioners to empower the capacity of local stake holders to provide quality post-mortem analysis and information through different training opportunities, hands-on coaching and material support where needed.  The objective is to empower local forensic capacity to respond to emergency mass casualty events as well as to increase the ability to cope with persons missing from the civil war.  Projects include providing continued training opportunities within Lebanon and abroad for forensic specialists, as well as ensuring appropriate storage and analytical infrastructure and equipment for local medico-legal structures.
