A/HRC/19/58
522. During the reporting period, the Government transmitted one communication to the
Working Group dated 29 March 2011. In this communication, the Government provided
information on two outstanding cases, which was not considered sufficient to lead to their
clarification.
Request for a visit
523. On 2 November 2006, the Working Group requested an invitation to visit the country.
The Working Group reiterated its interest to undertake the visit to the Russian Federation
on 4 June 2008, 20 July 2009, 16 August 2010 and 18 August 2011. On 4 August 2009, the
Government informed the Working Group that, due to limited capacities of the country and
other engagements, it was unable to extend an invitation to visit the country. On 30 August
2011, the Government replied that it did not have any substantial objections but, due to the
heavy schedule of visits by international and regional human rights mechanisms already
planned, it suggested to revisit the question in mid-2012.
Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding
524. Since its establishment, the Working Group has transmitted 479 cases to the
Government; of those, 10 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by
the source, two cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the
Government, and 467 remain outstanding.
