Maayer Daak Voices Frustration Over Lack of Progress in Enforced Disappearance Cases

Maayer Daak, a platform representing families of victims of enforced disappearances, has expressed deep concern over what it describes as a lack of visible progress in nearly 100 cases filed with the International Crimes Tribunal.

In a Facebook post on Monday, the organization said that even after one year and three months, there has been no meaningful advancement in the cases submitted by victims’ families. It also noted that investigation activities show no clear progress, raising questions about the overall status of the proceedings.

According to the group, neither the International Crimes Tribunal nor the commission formed to investigate enforced disappearances has so far provided a clear position regarding individuals who went missing and never returned.

“We still do not know the final fate of our loved ones,” the statement said. “The commission has asked us to assume that they are no longer alive, but no visible evidence has been presented to support this claim.”

Raising questions over justice and accountability, the group asked whether families would ever learn what happened to the disappeared or receive justice.

Describing the prolonged delays, uncertainty and silence as deeply distressing, Maayer Daak said the situation has caused immense anxiety, frustration and unbearable suffering for the victims’ families.

The group also questioned who would take responsibility for the continued inaction.
