AFAD's Role In The International Campaign Against Involuntary Disappearances
More than five years have transpired since AFAD, in its struggle against impunity, started carrying out its international lobbying. This important component of the work is expressed through the use of international mechanisms of the United Nations. Activities run the whole gamut from regular communication with the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances to regular participation in sessions of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Parallel activities center on Item 11 on Civil and Political Rights and more recently in the sessions of the United Nations Open-Ended Working Group for a Legally-Binding Normative Instrument for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances.
