A/HRC/45/13 addressed to the following non-State actors: the World Heritage Panel of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, the World Heritage Committee of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the de facto authorities in Sana’a, Yemen. 29. The Working Group transmitted eight general allegations relating to obstacles in the implementation of the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, to the Governments of Algeria, Brazil, China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Morocco, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. 30. It also transmitted five other letters addressing issues related to enforced disappearances to the Governments of China, Egypt, Guatemala, Nepal and Pakistan. D. Country visits 31. The Working Group visited Kyrgyzstan from 25 to 30 June 2019 (see A/HRC/45/13/Add.2) and Tajikistan from 1 to 5 July 2019 (see A/HRC/45/13/Add.1). The Working Group thanks the Governments of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan for their invitations and for the cooperation extended to it before, during and after the visits. It encourages these Governments to fully implement the recommendations contained in the respective country visit reports. 32. The Working Group also thanks the Governments of Iraq and Uruguay, which extended invitations to the Working Group during the reporting period to visit their countries. 33. The Working Group regrets that visits scheduled to take place in Burkina Faso and Mali during the second half of 2019, and following formal invitations by the two countries, did not materialize due to a lack of cooperation and follow-up from the two Governments during the planning phase for the visits. The Working Group hopes that, in light of the alarming reports4 on the deteriorating security situation in these countries, and reports of serious human rights violations including enforced or involuntary disappearances, the Governments will extend their full cooperation to the Working Group to allow the visits to take place. 34. During the reporting period, the Working Group requested visits to Brazil, Cyprus, Ghana, Uruguay and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. 35. In addition to these new requests, the Working Group reiterated its requests, to which it has still not received a positive response, to visit Bangladesh, China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, South Africa, Thailand and Zimbabwe. The Working Group invites all States that have received a request for a visit by the Working Group to respond favourably to it, in accordance with Human Rights Council resolution 21/4.5 36. The Working Group once again recalls that the Islamic Republic of Iran agreed to a visit by the Working Group in 2004, 15 years ago, which was delayed at the request of the Government. The Working Group calls upon the Government to set the dates for the visit. 37. In February 2016, the Government of South Sudan invited the Working Group to visit. However, it did not respond to a subsequent letter from the Working Group sent in April 2016, proposing two dates for a visit to the country in the last quarter of 2017. The Working Group reiterated its interest in visiting the country on 8 February 2019. 4 5 6 See the statements made by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, to the Human Rights Council at its 44th session, on 30 June 2020, available at www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=26015&LangID=E, and on 26 June 2020, available at www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=26005&LangID=E.
