Signature campaign against enforced disappearances

emilia — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:11:29 -0700

The International Coalition Against Enforced Disappearances (ICAED) launches a signature campaign to promote the UN Convention against Enforced Disappearances.

Enforced disappearance is the most terrifying human rights violation; it amounts to the denial of human being. Unfortunately this practice is not a mere method of the past, but instead takes place all around the world at this very moment.

Join in and sign the appeal letter which will be sent to heads of States around the world on August 30, on the International Day of the Disappeared. Join in and help us make the UN Convention against Enforced Disappearances a reality.

emilia — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:26:55 -0700

August 30th 2008 marks the 25th anniversary of the International Day of the Disappeared. Join in with the
International Coalition against Enforced Disappearances (ICAED) and take action to fight this
serious violation of human rights! Help make the new UN Convention against disappearances a reality.
An enforced disappearance of a person is a grave human rights violation that has bedevilled tens of
thousands of persons and their families. It creates an abundance of victims still today. To combat this
heinous practice, the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 20 in 2006. The Convention serves as a crucial opportunity to era dicate disappear ances and to br ing dow n rel ated human rights violations.

On August 30 in 2008 different events are organised by the families of victims all over the world to
commemorate the disappeared. On this day, the ICAED calls on governments to sign and ratify the
Convention. We will also send an appeal letter signed by renowned personalities to all heads of
States, together with a photo publication bearing witness to the emotional effects of disappearances
Help us stop disappearances. Visit our website and join the campaign on www.icaed.org, or
