SARAJEVO, February 11 (FENA) - Members of the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances met with the state Minister of Human Rights and Refugees Semiha Borovac and her associates in Sarajevo today.

It is a practice of the Working Group to hold one session per year, apart from regular sessions in Geneva, to learn more about this issue in the UN member states.
Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of BiH is hosting the UN Working Group, whose significance even grew after adoption of the International Convention on Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance in December 1992, where apart from the humanitarian mandate, the Working Group was also entrusted to monitor progress of states in fulfilling commitments from the Convention and providing assistance to government in its implementation, Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of BiH stated.
