Baghdad has announced a financial reward for information on the location of burial sites for Iraqi and Kuwaiti victims of the 1990-1991 Gulf War.
In a joint statement on Sunday, the Iraqi ministries of defense and interior called on anyone who has information about graves of missing persons inside Iraq or Kuwait to come forward.
Efforts to find the remains of missing persons killed during the 1991 Gulf War have been ongoing since the conflict ended.
The Tripartite Commission and its Technical Sub-Committee were established in 1991 and 1994, respectively, to find answers for hundreds of families in Iraq and Kuwait.
The committee is chaired by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and composed of representatives of Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
According to previous figures from the ICRC, only 215 Kuwaitis and 85 Iraqis who were missing have been found, mostly in southern Iraq.
Kuwait has said its number of missing people is 320, while Baghdad says more than 5,000 Iraqis remain unaccounted for since the end of the war.
