Serbia: Submission to the Committee on Enforced Disappearances: 8th session, 2-13 February 2015

This submission details Amnesty International’s concerns regarding Serbia’s fulfilment of its obligations under the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance (the Convention). The organization does not consider that the Serbian authorities have taken sufficient measures to implement the provisions of the Convention into domestic law. In particular, the organization wishes to draw the Committee’s attention to concerns regarding the definition and criminalization of enforced disappearance, failures in relation to the obligation to investigate acts of enforced disappearances, judicial procedures.
