Wafa Mustafa's father disappeared in Syria 10 years ago

What's happened to the tens of thousands of people who've gone missing during Syria's civil war? The families of those who've disappeared have been campaigning for years for an independent and international body to investigate. Now the UN General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly in favour of creating such an organisation - Syria opposed the resolution, along with Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. And so, given that, how much will investigators be able to uncover if the government of Bashar al Assad refuses to cooperate? Syrian activist Wafa Mustafa now lives in Berlin - her father disappeared 10 years ago and is still missing in Syria. What is her reaction to the creation of this UN body?
