What is the International Coalition Against
Enforced Disappearance (ICAED)?
In view of the lessons of our years of lobbying, the principal actors in
lobbying for the adoption of the Convention deemed it imperative to form
an International Coalition Against Enforced Disappearances to secure the
entry into force of the Convention at the earliest possible date. The
ICAED was formally launched in Geneva, Switzerland on 26 September 2007.
