Which international agency is responsible for maintaining dental records used in the identification of victims during mass disasters?

- INTERPOL’s Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) unit is the correct answer because it is the international authority responsible for coordinating the identification of victims in mass disasters.
- The DVI unit maintains standardized protocols, including the collection and comparison of dental records, to ensure accurate and efficient victim identification worldwide.
- Unlike national agencies, INTERPOL facilitates cross-border cooperation and data sharing among countries during such events.
- This global coordination is essential in managing mass casualty incidents with victims from multiple nations.
