A/HRC/30/38
IV. Observations
56.
In addition to the observations formulated in its post-sessional documents (see para.
11 above), the Working Group makes the following country-specific observations based on
the cooperation received and on significant developments regarding its mandate during the
whole reporting period.
Albania
57.
The Working Group thanks the Government of Albania for the invitation to the
Working Group to visit the country. The Working Group hopes that the visit can be carried
out in the course of 2016
Algeria
58.
The Working Group expresses its deep disappointment that, in spite of an official
communication received in February 2014 in which the Government of Algeria invited the
Working Group to visit Algeria during the second semester of 2014, it has not accepted the
different dates offered by the Working Group. The Working Group hopes that it can soon
be allowed to conduct a visit to the country.
Bahrain
59.
The Working Group thanks the Government for the reply to the general allegation
sent on 23 September 2014 (see A/HRC/WGEID/104/1, paras. 13-32, and
A/HRC/WGEID/105/1, para. 13 and annex I). It would appreciate receiving additional
information on the specific steps taken by the Government to prevent and terminate alleged
cases of short-term enforced disappearance and on the measures taken to ensure that the
relatives of persons deprived of their liberty are informed accurately and promptly of their
detention, in accordance with article 10 (2) of the Declaration.
60.
On 27 October 2014, the Working Group requested an invitation to undertake a visit
to the country. The Working Group hopes that a positive reply will be received soon.
Bangladesh
61.
The Working Group regrets that no information has been received from the
Government in connection with a general allegation transmitted on 4 May 2011, concerning
the alleged frequent use of enforced disappearance as a tool by law enforcement agencies,
paramilitary and armed forces to detain and even extrajudicially execute individuals (see
A/HRC/22/45 and Corr.1, para. 33).
62.
On 12 March 2013, the Working Group requested an invitation to undertake a visit
to the country. No response yet has been received from the Government in spite of a
reminder sent on 28 October 2014. The Working Group hopes that a positive reply will be
received soon.
