This phenomenon has pervasive implications on individuals and society as a whole, leaving behind a legacy of violence, fear, impunity and overall distrust in the institution of law. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the human tragedy of enforced disappearance from a range of perspectives in order to address the variety of complications arising from this phenomenon. One such challenge is the provision of redress to victims, a problematic task for international human rights courts. This study will offer a comparative analysis of the remedial jurisprudence of the most prominent regional courts entrusted with the protection of human rights in two different regions affected by the prevalence of enforced disappearance. The originality and core contribution of this thesis lies in the dialogue it establishes between different disciplines in order to gauge the distinct human dimensions affected by this violation, which in turn merit their own appropriate redress. The practice of enforced disappearance strikes at the very identity and dignity of a person, their family and their social infrastructure, and therefore requires a comprehensive and holistic response." --
