Practice Relating to Rule 112. Search for and Collection of the Dead
Kenya’s LOAC Manual (1997) provides: “At all times, and particularly after an engagement, Parties to the conflict must take measures to search for and collect the dead.” It adds: “Civil defence units and personnel shall participate in the search for victims, particularly when there are civilian casualties.”
Kenya, Law of Armed Conflict, Military Basic Course (ORS), 4 Précis, The School of Military Police, 1997, Précis No. 2, p. 14; see also Précis No. 3, pp. 11 and 13.
The manual also provides: “Commanders may appeal to the civilian population, to aid societies such as National Red Cross or Red Crescent Societies and to commanders of neutral merchant vessels, yachts or other craft … to collect and identify the dead.”
