Measures taken/current situation Situation during the visit A/HRC/33/51/Ad d.2 Level of implementation and observations (to be completed by the WGEID) committed to ensure that it does not become an obstacle to future investigations and subsequent prosecutions. ITJP We replied to a request by OMP in 2018 to share information (most of which was already in the public domain) and never received a response. (b) Immediately adopt a comprehensive policy to search for all of those who disappeared; Paragraph 35 OMP See response to recommendation 78(b)(i). Neither the Enforced Disappearances Act nor the Office on Missing Persons (Establishment, Administration and Discharge of Functions) Act, No. 14 of 2016, (OMP Act) provides for a specific procedure for finding a disappeared person. The OMP Act provides the OMP with an explicit mandate to clarify the circumstances in which persons went missing and their fate.70 Further the OMP has specific powers to make rules and develop guidelines in order to operationalise its mandate.71 Centre for Justice and Change Not yet made ICJ This has been brought under the purview of the Office of the Missing Persons as one of the four objectives of the Office under Section 2 (a) of the Act. Section 12 stipulates that the Minister of Justice is required to draft guidelines with regards to searching and the Chairperson of the OMP stated that the guidelines are currently being prepared in consultation with the Office. However, the search for victims is yet to begin, which remains one of the primary reasons for the continued mistrust among families of the disappeared regarding the Office. ITJP 70 71 Office on Missing Persons (Establishment, Administration and Discharge of Functions) Act No. 14 of 2016, Section 10. (OMP Act) OMP Act, above n 16, Section 11(b). The Working Group regrets that a comprehensive policy on the search for all those who disappearedhas yet to be adopted. It encourages the Minister of Justice and OMP to work on the elaboration and publication of such a policy as soon as possible and to ensure it is done in a transparent manner and with the involvement of family members and civil society.
