Recommendations A/HRC/33/51/Add.1 Situation during the visit A/HRC/33/51/Add.1 Measures taken/current situation Level of implementation and observations (to be completed by the WGEID) for the whereabouts of the disappeared person. In addition, in both cases, the families did not get any response from the prosecutor’s office or any police station despite their constant requests and follow-up. In one case, the vehicle that the disappeared person was using was found shortly after he disappeared, however, even though the family had requested investigation and forensics on the vehicle many times; no research took place. It was 5 months after the disappearance, when the government received some pressure from international organizations, that an investigation on the vehicle of the disappeared person was opened. In the other case in Turkey, not only the information in the archives was not available but even when the prosecutors officially requested to track victim’s phone signal, no replies were provided by the law enforcement. Eleven of the fourteen family members currently outside Turkey replied that they did not have any access to any government archive or documentation in searching for the whereabouts of the disappeared person. The three remaining families replied that this was not related to their case. LLG – TGRLSP Turkey has not made its archives accessible to the public to ensure that information held in state and military archives on missing persons and victims of enforced disappearance is properly assembled. ICJ No measures have been taken. 29 Truth Justice Memory Center - the Human Rights Joint Platform – Human Rights Watch There has been no progress in this regard. Human Rights Association Only official tool for access to information that could potentially lead to clarification when investigating cases of disappeared persons is the Law No: 4982 “On Right of Information Acquirement”. But, in the Law, the State is given the right not to share information in case the information is classified as state secret. The Working Group notes with concern that no progress has been made in this regard. The Working Group recalls its recommendation about the right to access to information in this regard. A/HRC/45/13/Add.4 78. Promulgate a law on access to information and a proper legislative framework on archives, so as to guarantee full access to all information that could potentially lead to clarification when investigating cases of disappeared persons.
