About this statute

This preamble identifies Law 1531 of 2012, which creates an action to declare absence due to forced disappearance and other involuntary disappearance, and addresses its civil effects. The law creates an action for declaration of absence due to enforced disappearance and other involuntary disappearances, and several public bodies must carry out outreach and education campaigns about it. Crea la acción de declaración de ausencia por desaparición forzada y la define como una situación jurídica para personas no ubicadas ni halladas vivas o muertas. Certain family members and the Public Ministry may bring the action for declaration of absence due to forced disappearance or other involuntary disappearance, and the petition must include specific required information. El juez civil competente para conocer de la acción es el del último domicilio del desaparecido o, a elección de la víctima, el del domicilio de esta.
