FEMED conferences are key events in the fight against enforced disappearances, bringing together experts, human rights defenders, victims and members of civil society to discuss current issues and challenges. These events are platforms for exchange and reflection where everyone can share their experience, expertise and vision to strengthen the prevention, investigation, prosecution and redress of enforced disappearances.

By organizing conferences, FEMED pursues several objectives:

  • Raise awareness about enforced disappearances and their consequences on individuals and communities.

  • Strengthen cooperation between the different actors involved in the fight against enforced disappearances, including governments, civil society organizations, experts and victims.

  • Promote best practices in the prevention, investigation, prosecution and redress of enforced disappearances.

  • Encourage states to ratify and implement relevant international instruments, such as the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.

  • Press states to respect international human rights obligations and take concrete steps to prevent and punish enforced disappearances.

    • FEMED conferences are open to all those concerned with the fight against enforced disappearances, whether they are victims, human rights defenders, researchers, lawyers, government officials or civil society representatives. They offer a unique opportunity to connect with others and share experiences and knowledge.
