124. Forced disappearance has been defined as a crime of a continuing or permanent nature, which means that its effects are prolonged over time so long as the fate or whereabouts of the victim are not established. That characteristic places the State is in a situation of permanent infringement of its international obligations until the fate of the victim has been clarified.92 125. Given its nature as a permanent, autonomous violation that entails multiple offenses, the Inter-American Court has held that the analysis of a possible forced disappearance should not be approached in an isolated, divided and segmented way, based only on the detention or possible torture or risk to lose one’s life, but on the set of facts presented in the case brought to the Court’s attention.93 Thus, the Court's holistic approach to forced disappearance as a complex human rights violation has led it to jointly analyze the violation of several rights recognized in the Convention.94 126. Accordingly, the Court has adopted a comprehensive view of forced disappearance based on the plurality of behaviors that joined together toward a single purpose; permanently violate juridical rights protected by the Convention.95 In particular, in cases of forced disappearance, the Court has jointly assessed violation of the rights to juridical personality, life, humane treatment, and personal liberty, enshrined in Articles 3, 4, 5, and 7 of the Convention, respectively.96 127. Thus, for instance, with respect to the right to juridical personality, in Anzualdo Castro v. Peru, the Court considered that: given the multiple and complex nature of this serious human right violation, the Tribunal reconsiders its previous position and deems it is possible that, in this type of cases, the forced disappearance may entail a specific violation of said right. Despite the fact that the disappeared person can no longer exercise and enjoy other rights, and eventually all the rights to which he or she is entitled, his or her disappearance is not only one of the most serious forms of placing the person outside the protection of the law but it also entails to deny that person's existence and to place him or her in a kind of limbo or uncertain legal situation before the society, the State and even the international community.97 128. As regards the specific characteristics of the crime of forced disappearance, the court has found that the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons, like other international instruments,98 establishes that forced disappearance comprises the following concurrent, basic elements: (a) deprivation of liberty; (b) direct involvement of governmental officials or acquiescence thereof; and (c) 92 IACHR, Report 101/01, Case 10.247 and others.
