The International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances is observed annually on August 30, drawing attention to one of the most serious violations of human rights. Enforced disappearance involves the abduction or detention of individuals by state authorities or their agents, followed by a refusal to acknowledge their whereabouts, leaving them outside legal protection. This practice causes immense suffering not only to the victims but also to their families and communities. The United Nations General Assembly officially designated August 30 for this observance in 2010, with the aim of promoting accountability, justice, and global awareness of such grave violations.
