A/HRC/39/40 meetings with the President of the Council and the Coordinator of the African Group, the Permanent Representative of Burundi reiterated the commitment of his Government to implement resolution 36/2. Despite this renewed commitment, the Government of Burundi did not allow the experts to return to the country. 10. Furthermore, contrary to the commitment of the Government of Burundi to resume full cooperation with OHCHR, 1 discussions on a new memorandum of understanding between OHCHR and the Government of Burundi have been stalled due to a lack of followup by the Government. III. Observations 11. The decision of the Burundian authorities to revoke the visas of the experts was not discussed with OHCHR beforehand. Due to the lack of cooperation demonstrated by the Government of Burundi, the High Commissioner is unable to provide the Human Rights Council with the report it requested in its resolution 36/2. It should be recalled that the Government of Burundi is a member of the Human Rights Council and that it supported the adoption of resolution 36/2. It is, therefore, particularly worrying that, through its lack of cooperation, it has prevented the implementation of a mandate of the Council. The High Commissioner strongly encourages the Government to fully resume its engagement with all international human rights bodies, including OHCHR, and to cooperate to enhance the protection and promotion of all human rights for all in Burundi. 1 In paragraph 10 of its resolution 36/2, the Council noted with satisfaction the decision of the Government of Burundi to restore its full cooperation with the Human Rights Council and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, including by extending full cooperation to its office in Bujumbura, and encouraged the Government to cooperate fully with treaty bodies and to improve the working conditions of human rights defenders. 3
