The International Day of Solidarity with Detained and Missing Staff Members of the UN

March 25 is the International Day of Solidarity with Detained and Missing Staff Members of the United Nations.

 

The day is marked each year on the anniversary of the abduction of Alec Collett, a former journalist who was working for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) when he was abducted by armed gunman in 1985.  His body was finally found in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley in 2009.
