A/HRC/39/46 China 87. The Working Group reiterates its concern in relation to individuals who were detained in China, and placed under investigation, yet whose exact whereabouts remain unknown (see A/HRC/36/39, para. 71, A/HRC/WGEID/113/1, para. 29, and A/HRC/WGEID/115/1, paras. 23–24). The Working Group reiterates that these conditions of detention are a form of enforced disappearance, and urges the Government of China to disclose the fate and whereabouts of all detained persons, regardless of the nature of the charges against them. The Working Group reiterates that accurate information on the detention of persons deprived of liberty and their place or places of detention, including transfers, should be made available promptly to their family members, their counsel or to any other persons having a legitimate interest in the information (art. 10 (2) of the Declaration). 88. The Working Group is concerned at the very high number of enforced disappearances of Uighurs, which escalated dramatically in 2017 with the introduction of “re-education” camps in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region by the Government of China (see A/HRC/WGEID/115, annex I). 89. On 19 February 2013, the Working Group requested an invitation to undertake a visit to the country. No response has yet been received from the Government in spite of reminders sent on 27 October 2014, 27 November 2015, 18 November 2016 and 19 January 2018. The Working Group hopes that a positive reply will be received soon. Democratic People’s Republic of Korea 90. The Working Group reiterates its previous call to the Security Council to consider referring the situation in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the International Criminal Court (see A/HRC/27/49, para. 72). 91. The Working Group took note of the statements released after the summit between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea on 27 April 2018, in which the two countries agreed to endeavor to swiftly resolve the humanitarian issues that had resulted from the division of the nation. The Working Group urges that the issue of enforced disappearances, including the fates and whereabouts of the abductees, should be resolved during that process. 92. On 22 May 2015, the Working Group requested an invitation to visit the country.

Democratic Republic of the Congo 93. The Working Group continues to be concerned (see A/HRC/36/39, para. 77) about the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which may facilitate the occurrence of enforced disappearances. It reiterates article 7 of the Declaration, which provides that no circumstances whatsoever may be invoked to justify enforced disappearances. 94. On 17 May 2017, the Working Group requested an invitation to undertake a visit to the country. It hopes that a positive reply will be received soon. Egypt 95. While the Working Group thanks the Government for its large number of replies, which continue to demonstrate the Government’s commitment to engage with the Working Group and have allowed it to clarify a large number of cases, it remains concerned by the number of new cases that continue to be received.
