<p>“<i>Book of the Disappeared</i> is destined to be an essential work in the field of human rights for years to come. The authors argue that the search for the disappeared must be conducted for three reasons: to locate, identify, and return the remains of the disappeared to family members for proper burial; to gather evidence to hold perpetrators accountable; and to set the historical record straight.”<br /> —Eric Stover, Co-Faculty Director, Human Rights Center, School of Law, University of California, Berkeley</p>

<p>“This book is an essential read because it reviews the issues connected to enforced disappearances and documents their widespread global nature. This is a tour de force, written by some of the most well-known researchers, with deep knowledge about these matters. The book usefully evaluates the crimes committed and the quest for justice.”<br /> —Jeremy Julian Sarkin, Distinguished Research Professor of Law, NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal and Former Chair-Rapporteur of the United Nations Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances</p>
