Observations
471. The Working Group is concerned by the fact that it transmitted seven urgent actions
and a prompt intervention letter during the reporting period. The Working Group would
like to recall that, in its resolution 7/12, the Human Rights Council urged Governments to
take steps to provide adequate protection to witnesses of enforced or involuntary
disappearances, human rights defenders acting against enforced disappearances and the
lawyers and families of disappeared persons against any intimidation or ill-treatment to
which they might be subjected.
472. The Working Group welcomes the continuous efforts made by the Government to
clarify outstanding cases. In addition, the Working Group thanks the Government for its
report on the implementation of the recommendations made after its visit to the country in
2009, and hopes to continue with the cooperation to address all the recommendations. The
Working Group looks forward to work on a follow-up report.
