Pierre Guberan has been working with Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities

FOR MORE than 20 years, Pierre Guberan has been working with Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities in a bid to resolve the question of the missing on both sides of the divide.

As he prepares to leave the island, Guberan believes that, complicated as the issue may be, Cypriots can sort it out if concessions are made and petty arguments about trivialities laid aside. For 23 years, Guberan has been involved with the Committee of Missing Persons (CMP), a tripartite committee set up to investigate the fate of the missing. It consists of one Greek Cypriot, one Turkish Cypriot and one member of the UN. In times when no UN member was involved, Guberan acted as their stand in."
