ICRC warns identifying Syria's tens of thousands of missing persons will be a years-long task.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warns that identifying the tens of thousands of missing persons from Syria's civil war will be a massive task likely to take years.

Human Rights Watch urges new Syrian authorities to preserve evidence for future trials.
