Abstract

Considering the very nature of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance as the 21st century international human rights instrument of the new generations, as well as the specific, hybrid nature of the rights protected by the Convention, the author analyses specific, multidisciplinary approach required by such a hybrid nature of human rights protected by the Convention. This multidisciplinary approach, among others, includes the strong synergy between criminal law and medicine as for the prevention as in combating enforced disappearances. Considering this, author analyzes the main points under the scope of Convention that require this kind of synergy. In parallel, author reflects upon the provisions of the recently adopted Guiding Principles for the Search for Disappeared Persons that provides for precise, but comprehensive guidelines to the Member States, but also to countries that have not ratified Convention so far, on how to search for disappeared persons.
