A/HRC/RES/16/16
5.
Calls upon States that have not provided for a long period of time substantive
replies concerning claims of enforced disappearances in their countries to do so, and to give
due consideration to relevant recommendations concerning this issue made by the Working
Group in its reports;
6.
Encourages the Working Group, in accordance with its working methods, to
continue to provide concerned States with relevant and detailed information concerning
allegations of enforced disappearances in order to facilitate a prompt and substantive
response to these communications without prejudice to the need for concerned States to
cooperate with the Working Group;
7.
Notes with concern that, according to the Working Group, it has insufficient
resources to effectively exercise its mandate, particularly in relation to human resources,
where there is an acute need,2 and requests the Secretary-General to provide the assistance
necessary to the Working Group to fulfil its mandate, in particular by putting adequate
human and material resources at its disposal;
8.
Decides to continue consideration of the question of enforced disappearances
in accordance with the programme of work of the Human Rights Council.
