WHY CEDI

  • A burning issue as enforced disappearance persists on all continents

  • Limited and uncoordinated response from relevant actors

  • Need to raise awareness in most countries on what ED is, its scope and effects

  • Insufficient number of States parties to the Convention and general need to strengthen implementation and legal frameworks

  • Need to renew momentum and enhance advocacy initiatives to pressure for change

  • Need to strengthen coordination amongst all actors involved
