The concept of Human Rights has evolved over the time. With the human rights violations on the international level, the urge to create uniform human rights charters and treaties has increased. The main reason was the surging violations which lead the world community to devise some strategies and to create such internationally binding treaties which will ensure the protection of Human Rights. The very first in this series was the United Nations charter. But the very first document pertaining to human rights exclusively was the United Nations declaration on Human Rights (UDHR) which was formulated in year 1948. This declaration, although not
binding in nature, is of extreme importance because it inculcates nearly all the basic human rights guarantees.Enforced disappearances is not just an offence which violates a single right, rather it is an offence which violates a set of basic human rights. In this way the severity of the offence increases.
