He also urges the Government to engage in constructive dialogue with all opposition parties. 62. Concerned about the slowness of certain judicial procedures, the independent expert urges the competent Burundian authorities to speed up investigations relating to the assassination of the Vice-President of OLUCAME, the human rights violations alleged to have been committed on the premises of the intelligence service and the extrajudicial executions reported in the provinces of rural Bujumbura, Bujumbura Mairie, Bubanza and Cibitoke. In addition, he urges the authorities to see to it that those responsible for those acts are brought to justice as speedily as possible. 63. The independent expert urges the Government of Burundi to do everything in its power to bring promptly to justice members of the defence and security forces and all other persons suspected of having perpetrated serious violations of human rights. 64.

He calls on the Government to set up in the near future transitional justice mechanisms so as to complete the process of national reconciliation. 66.
