The International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances is celebrated on August 30 every year. This day was declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2010 to draw attention to the issue of enforced disappearances and to promote the rights of victims and their families.
Enforced disappearance is a serious human rights violation that occurs when a person is arrested, detained or abducted by state officials or their agents, and then held in secret or without acknowledgment of their whereabouts or fate. This practice is often used as a tool of repression, to silence opposition or to intimidate communities.
The UN has called for an end to enforced disappearances, and for the perpetrators to be held accountable for their actions. The International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances is an opportunity to raise awareness about this issue, to remember the victims, and to support the families who are still searching for their loved ones.
On this day, various events and activities are organized around the world to highlight the plight of victims of enforced disappearances. These include seminars, workshops, rallies, exhibitions, and cultural events. The aim of these activities is to raise awareness of the issue, to promote the rights of victims and their families, and to demand justice and accountability for those responsible for enforced disappearances.
