Thematic study on enforced disappearance and economic, social and cultural rights 52. The Working Group has completed its study on the relationship between enforced disappearances and economic, social and cultural rights. The report is contained in an addendum to the present report (A/HRC/30/38/Add.5). 53. That study examines the indivisibility of economic, social and cultural rights, and civil and political rights in the case of enforced disappearances. Enforced disappearance, by its nature, violates the economic, social and cultural rights of the disappeared person, his or her family and others. In addition, those lacking the full enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights are, in many instances, more vulnerable to becoming victims of enforced disappearance. 54. The study also emphasizes how people who are active in promoting or exercising the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights are, in many contexts, at a greater risk of becoming victims of enforced disappearance. In such circumstances, enforced disappearances are used as a tool to deter people from promoting and exercising economic, social and cultural rights. 55. The Working Group also observes that, under the Declaration, States have an obligation to prevent and eradicate enforced disappearances and to provide reparations to all victims of enforced disappearances, taking into account the intrinsic connection between enforced disappearances and economic, social and cultural rights. Effective measures to prevent and eradicate enforced disappearances, and to provide reparation to the victims, require a comprehensive approach that encompasses proper promotion and protection of economic, social and cultural rights. 15 16 17 18 19 8 See www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=15618&LangID=E.
