Enforced Disappearance and the role of Law Enforcement Agencies and Judiciary in Pakistan

Abstract

    Enforced disappearance has become a global phenomenon; over one million have disappeared in the last 50 years,(Sarkin, 2012). Since the Afghan war, the incident began to start in Pakistan and the law enforcement agencies turned a blind eye to it. The International Convention for the Protection of all people from enforces Disappearance (2006) looks after the events globally and has concluded in an article that: "...the arrest, detention, abduction or any other form of deprivation of liberty by agents of the State or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorization, support or acquiescence of the State, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or by concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person, which place such a person outside the protection of the law" (Convention for the Protection of all people from enforces Disappearance, 2006).
