BOLIVAR, Leidy Patricia  and  OSORIO SANCHEZ, Eduardo Gabriel. Guidelines for the Formulation of the Search Plan for Missing People in Norte de Santander. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2021, n.55, pp.148-171.  Epub Jan 18, 2022. ISSN 0121-8697.  https://doi.org/10.14482/dere.55.342.1.

In the article, an analysis on the collection of information as a phase of a search plan for people considered missing and their importance in the Norte de Santander department (Colombia) is carried out, for which guidelines that should be considered, taking into account the characteristics of the territory, are identified. A mixed methodology is adopted. From the qualitative point of view, and based on a documentary review, a descriptive framework of the information gathering phase in the search for missing persons was developed; from the quantitative point of view, an analysis of data related to the disappearances occurred in the department was undertaken. As relevant findings, it is highlighted that, for the information gathering phase in the region, it is necessary to bear in mind its characteristics and the mode of action in which the crime was committed, and, from there, study the temporality, focus differential, and the dynamics of the territory. This implies that more context information must be available, taking into account its geostrategic location and border condition, to achieve an effective search.

Keywords : Victim; armed conflict; enforced disappearance; search plan.
