Similarly, the draft Enforced Disappearance Prevention and Redress Act retains provisions that could facilitate impunity for members of agencies accused of involvement in the majority of enforced disappearance cases during the authoritarian period, TIB said.
The organisation argued that this is particularly problematic because many of those accused of involvement in enforced disappearance cases are members of disciplined forces.
"Will this provision actually help prevent and redress enforced disappearance, or will it in practice ensure impunity for the crime?"
TIB also said the draft's definition of enforced disappearance does not include the involvement of elected representatives, ministers, or other important state officials.
"These important functions have not been incorporated into the Cabinet-approved draft," TIB said.
