The forced disappearance of people violates a series of rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration and the International Covenants on Human Rights and other important instruments of international humanitarian law.

This article aims to critically review the role, parameters and actions that the State must carry out in the face of the crime of forced disappearance of persons, analyzing the meaning of this crime and establishing its own characteristics; for which a qualitative study was carried out applying the method of hermeneutics for the interpretation of bibliographic texts.
