Summary
Enforced disappearances are strictly forbidden by international law. Nevertheless, as the United Nations Secretary-General has acknowledged, enforced disappearances are still being committed at an alarming rate in several countries. This makes it necessary to continue to consider enforced disappearance a priority for the international community and, in particular, for the protection of victims of it. Because new practices of enforced disappearance emerge involving not only state agents or individuals but also non-state agents, the international community faces the challenge of extending the protection to new rights and to a broader universe of victims.
