Leba**n should form a "national commission on disappearances" to investigate those still missing since the country's civil war, a rights group said Saturday. On the eve of the UN's International Day of the Disappeared, Human Rights Watch also called on Leba**n to prosecute recent cases of enforced disappearances on its territory and ratify the UN's relevant convention. "Despite repeated promises, Lebanese authorities have yet to provide the families of the disappeared with any answers about the fate of their loved ones," said Nadim Houry, HRW's deputy Middle East director "Leba**n can**t move forward without adequately dealing with its past." The New York-based group said an estimated 17,000 Lebanese were kidnapped or "disappeared" during the country's devastating civil war.
