It is with great sorrow that we have learned from UN/DPI via the International Action Network on Small Arms that three members of the global movement against gun violence were on the Air France flight that went missing on 1 June, 2009, while flying from Brazil to France.
Husband and wife Dr. Pablo Dreyfus and Ana Carolina Rodrigues were among the 228 passengers presumed to have died. Pablo was the Manager of Research at Viva Rio in Rio de Janeiro . Ana Carolina also worked at Viva Rio, coordinating the Children in Organised Armed Violence project. Dr. Ronald Dreyer, a Swiss diplomat, was also on the plane. He was the coordinator of the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence.
On behalf of all of us here at www.undpi.org and the DPI NGO community we send our deepest condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.
