International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances is dedicated to raising awareness about the heinous crime of enforced disappearances and its impact on both the victims and their families. Enforced disappearance occurs when a person is secretly abducted or imprisoned by a state or political organization, often followed by a refusal to acknowledge the person's fate and whereabouts. This observance seeks to raise awareness about the need for initiatives and laws that prevent these unlawful abductions and safeguard the rights of those affected. The United Nations General Assembly declared this observance in December 2010, recognizing the increasing number of enforced or involuntary disappearances worldwide. In the United States, this day is especially relevant in cases involving missing and murdered indigenous women, as well as migrant families who have been separated at the border and subjected to these nefarious practices. This observance serves as a reminder to people in America to address these issues and work together in promoting human rights and the rule of law. In the United States, International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances is commemorated by various events and activities organized by human rights groups, civil society organizations, and concerned citizens. These may include panel discussions, conferences, artistic performances, and social media campaigns, focusing on raising awareness about enforced disappearances and honoring the victims and their families. International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances is observed annually on August 30th, providing Americans with an opportunity to advocate for human rights and take action against this grave injustice.
