Policy & Practice seminars (UCL Dept. of Political Science): Enforced Disappearances, Current and Historical Perspectives
Location: UCL Bloomsbury campus: 25 Gordon Street, London, WC1E
Event Information: Enforced disappearances have been employed as a tool by states throughout history. This seminar will shed light on this egregious violation of human rights, exploring both its historical roots and contemporary manifestations. Our panel of experts will bring forth the stark realities faced by victims and their families, provide insights into the relevant international laws and conventions and the challenges in holding perpetrators accountable under these legal frameworks. The panel will analyse how state actions in this regard can strain diplomatic relations, impact global alliances, and influence the perception of nations on the international stage.
