Enforced Disappearance & Extrajudicial Execution Intervention Unit
Investigating enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions to deliver truth and accountability to affected families.
Unit Mission
The Enforced Disappearance & Extrajudicial Execution Intervention Unit investigates enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions — documenting cases, supporting families in their search for truth, and advocating for the accountability and legal reforms needed to end impunity for these grave human rights violations. The unit applies the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, human rights documentation standards, and forensic investigation to build comprehensive case files and advance accountability for perpetrators.
Key Functions
Case Documentation
Documenting enforced disappearance cases — collecting testimonies, gathering evidence, and building comprehensive case files that establish the facts of disappearances and identify the state actors responsible.
Family Support
Supporting families of the disappeared — facilitating their search for truth, providing legal assistance, and advocating with state authorities for information about the fate and whereabouts of disappeared persons.
Accountability Advocacy
Advocating for accountability for enforced disappearances — engaging UN mechanisms, regional human rights bodies, and national courts to pursue justice for victims and end the impunity that enables disappearances to continue.
