This development has profound meaning for all families of the disappeared and to the International Coalition Against Enforced Disappearances (ICAED) and all other organisations and individuals who have worked so hard to make this possible. The Committee Against Disappearances to be established to monitor the compliance by State-parties of the provisions of this Convention is expected to be a powerful international means of protection against enforced disappearances in the near future.
As the ICAED expresses profound gratitude to all State-parties, it likewise calls on all of them to:
- Recognize enforced disappearance in their penal codes as a criminal offence and that all sectors of the justice system are educated to enforce it.
- Make sure to provide access to remedy and reparation, in law and practice, to the victims including family members of the disappeared.
- Recognise the Committee against Enforced Disappearances for those cases in which the ratification did not include the recognition of its competence
