A/HRC/19/58
506. In the fifth communication, dated 4 August 2011, the Government provided
information on one outstanding case, which was considered insufficient to lead to its
clarification.
507. In the sixth communication, dated 4 November 2011, the Government replied to the
general allegation sent on 9 September 2011.
Information from sources
508. Sources provided information on four outstanding cases. For two cases, the sources
validated the information provided by the Government leading to their clarification.
Clarification
509. Following the information provided by the Government, which was confirmed by the
source, the Working Group decided to clarify two cases.
510. Following the expiration of the period provided by the six-month rule, the Working
Group decided to clarify eight cases.
Request for a visit
511. On 29 September 2010, the Working Group requested the Government to extend an
invitation to undertake a mission to the country. On 3 October 2010, the Government
acknowledged receipt of the request.
Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding
512. Since its establishment, the Working Group has transmitted 143 cases to the
Government; of those, seven cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided
by the source, 28 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the
Government, one has been deleted, and 107 remain outstanding.
Observations
513. The Working Group is concerned by the fact that, during the reporting period, it
transmitted two cases under its urgent action procedure and two urgent appeals. The
Working Group recalls article 2.1 of the Declaration which states that ―No State shall
practise, permit or tolerate enforced disappearances‖, as well as article 3, which provides
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.‖
