The Cain and Abel story is as complex as the story of enforced disappearances. Unpacking enforced disappearances while considering the biblical story allows for fresh readings of the binary approach to victims and perpetrators, challenges the conception of bystanders, and questions the traditional understanding of accountability limited to criminal responses. It also allows for thinking critically about memory, the effectiveness of the international response to enforced disappearances, and the inter-generational effect of disappearances.

Nonetheless, one common thread that seems to be woven throughout almost every culture, country and region is that people deny that racism even exists.

Enforced disappearances occur when persons are deprived of their liberty by state officials, orga... more Enforced disappearances occur when persons are deprived of their liberty by state officials, organized groups, or private individuals acting on behalf of, or with the support, direct or indirect, consent, or acquiescence of the government. The deprivation of liberty is followed by a refusal to disclose the fate or whereabouts of the persons concerned or a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of their liberty. Consequently, such persons are placed outside the protection of the law. As such, the crime and the human rights violation of enforced disappearance comprise many different types of state repression. Given this multiplicity of scenarios in which enforced disappearances take place, some insist on the danger of over-using the term enforced disappearance, highlighting the need for a definition that separates the Latin American “true” cases of disappearance from those in which the term corresponds to a popular misuse. This Article describes this strong connection between enforced...

INTRODUCTION The Inter-American System for the protection of human rights ("the System") is formed principally by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights ("the Commission" or "IACHR") and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ("the Court" or "IACHR") of the Organization of American States (OAS). 1 In its 50 years of functioning, it has had important achievements in the promotion and defense of human rights in the region. The System played an essential role when * Clinical Professor of Law, University of Texas at Austin School of Law.
