The United Nations General Assembly has devoted particular attention to this odious phenomenon on many occasions. In 1978, in its resolution 33/173, it expressed concern over reports from various parts of the world relating to enforced or involuntary disappearances of persons. It requested the United Nations Commission on Human Rights to consider the question and to make appropriate recommendations. By resolution 20 (XXXVI) of 29 February 1980, the Commission on Human Rights decided to establish a working group of five independent experts to examine questions relevant to enforced or involuntary disappearances of persons. Since then, the mandate of the Working Group has been regularly renewed.
