President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has officially dissolved the Presidential Commission on Deaths and Disappearances via Presidential Decree No. 2024/16. The commission, which was established on November 17, 2018, has concluded its mandate, leading to its dissolution as stated in the decree signed by the President on Sunday.

The Commission on Deaths and Disappearances was created to investigate unresolved cases of suspicious deaths and disappearances in the Maldives. Over its tenure, the commission has worked on numerous high-profile cases, aiming to bring clarity and justice to affected families.

In the decree, President Muizzu noted that the commission had fulfilled its assigned tasks, prompting the decision to disband it. This move marks the end of a significant chapter in the Maldives' efforts to address historical grievances and ensure accountability.

The dissolution of the commission reflects the administration’s position that the mandate has been completed, and any remaining issues will be handled by the relevant government bodies moving forward.
