A/HRC/19/58 Observations 615. The Working Group is gravely concerned about the number of allegations of enforced disappearances received during the reporting period, as reflected in 11 urgent actions, seven urgent appeals and two general allegations, one of which makes reference to reports that thousands of individuals may have disappeared. 616. The Working Group would like to recall article 2 of the Declaration, which states that ―No State shall practise, permit or tolerate enforced‖; article 3, which states that ―Each State shall take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or other measures to prevent and terminate acts of enforced disappearance in any territory under its jurisdiction‖; and article 7, which states that ―No circumstances whatsoever, whether a threat of war, a state of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked to justify enforced disappearances‖. 617. In light of the above, the Working Group would like to stress its interest in undertaking a visit to the country.
