Irina Krasovskaya attended ICAED working meeting

27.11.2010

On 6 November 2010 in Geneva, Switzerland, meeting of the Steering Committee of the International Coalition Against Enforced Disappearances (ICAED) took place. We Remember, which is a member of the Steering Committee, was represented there by Irina Krasovskaya.

During the meeting a big number of actual issues were defined and discussed, such as ICAED competence under the new circumstances (now the The International Convention for the Protection of all Persons against enforced disappearances will enter into force in the very near future), the new lobbying campaign, new memberships and others. The Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances was elected as the Focal Point of the ICAED.

On September 26 2007 the International campaign of the ICAED was launched in Geneva during the Human Rights Council Session. The Human Rights Council president was one of the speakers together with ambassadors from all continents to welcome the creation of ICAED. This Coalition focuses its efforts principally on the promotion of the ratification and implementation of the Convention.
