A/HRC/10/9 page 98 Meetings The Working Group meets three times a year to consider the information brought to its attention since its previous session. Its meetings are held in private. However, the Working Group works intersessionally and regularly meets with representatives of Governments, non-governmental organizations, family members and witnesses. Reports The Working Group reports annually to the Human Rights Council on the activities which it has carried out from the end of Council’s previous session up until the last day of the Working Group’s third annual session. It informs the Council of its communications with Governments and non-governmental organizations, its meetings and missions. Reports on missions are contained as addenda to the main report. The Working Group reports on all cases of disappearance received by the Group during the year, on a country-by-country basis, and on the decision it has taken thereon. It provides the Council with a statistical summary for each country of cases transmitted to the Government, clarifications, and the status of the person concerned on the date of clarification. It includes graphs showing the development of disappearances in countries with more than 100 transmitted cases as of the date of the adoption by the Working Group of its annual report. The Working Group includes conclusions and recommendations in its report and makes observations on the situation of disappearances in individual countries. The Working Group further reports on the implementation of the Declaration and the obstacles encountered therein, and periodically reports on broader issues surrounding the phenomenon of enforced disappearance. Participation of experts When the information under consideration concerns a country to which one of the members of the Working Group is a national, that member does not participate in the discussion.
