A/HRC/7/2 page 70 arising from the conflicts in the northern Caucasus. The Working Group reiterates to the Government its obligation under the Declaration to prevent and to terminate all acts of enforced disappearance and to prosecute alleged perpetrators. 316. The Working Group regrets that dates have not been set to visit the country, and would like to receive an invitation, regardless of the Human Rights Council’s completion of the review of mandates. 317. The Working Group continues to be concerned about suspension of investigations in disappearance cases and wishes to remind the Government of its obligations to conduct thorough and impartial investigations “for as long as the fate of the victim of enforced disappearance remains unclarified”, in accordance with article 13, paragraph 6, of the Declaration.

No information was received from the Government regarding outstanding cases. Information from sources 319. Information was received from sources concerning the case of a man who disappeared in 2003 in Kigali. He had been a member of the National Assembly until it was dissolved in May 2003. In 2003, the Governing Council of the Inter-Parliamentary Union adopted a resolution on this case, which it continues to follow. Discontinuation of cases 320. Over the years, the Working Group has made numerous attempts to contact the source of the one outstanding case, but to no avail. The Working Group decided, in accordance with its methods of work, to discontinue consideration of this case. The Working Group believes that it no longer has a useful role to play in trying to elucidate the whereabouts of the person concerned, as no follow-up can be given to the case. It can be reopened at any time if presented again to the Working Group.
