Amnesty International places quotations around the word "disappearance" to highlight the often deliberate and state-sanctioned nature of such actions, suggesting that individuals are not merely going missing but are being forcibly taken or hidden by authorities. This use of quotation marks emphasizes the severity and intentionality behind these acts, framing them as human rights violations rather than accidental or natural occurrences. It also calls attention to the need for accountability and justice for those affected.
