In parallel with the resolutions of the international organizations, several non-governmental organizations drafted projects for an international convention. In 1981, the "Institut des droits de l'homme du Barreau de Paris" (Institute of Human Rights of the Paris Law School) organized a high-level symposium to promote an international convention on disappearances, followed by several draft declarations and conventions proposed by the Argentine League for Human Rights, FEDEFAM at the annual congress of Peru in 1982 or the "Colectivo de Abogados José Alvear Restepo" from Bogotá in 1988.
