Practice Relating to Rule 116. Accounting for the Dead
Section A. Identification of the dead prior to disposal
The Central African Republic’s Instructor’s Manual (1999) states in Volume 2 (Instruction for group and patrol leaders): “The dead must be identified … Identity cards must be removed and kept. One half of a double identity disc remains with the body; the other half must be removed and kept. … Ashes and personal effects should be collected and removed and kept.”
In Volume 3 (Instruction for non-commissioned officers studying for the level 1 and 2 certificates and for future officers of the criminal police), the manual states: “The identity cards of the dead and their personal effects must be sent to the hierarchical superior.”
