A/HRC/13/42* page 138 Country 11. Chad Response • • The Constitution of Chad guarantees the protection of human rights, including the protection of life and liberty, and against torture and degrading treatment. Referred to Chad’s ratification of various international instruments relating to counter-terrorism. The Chad Penal Code also punishes terrorist acts. • No instances of secret detention, nor do secret detention facilities exist as a means to counter terrorism. There is the National Security Agency which is charged with responsibility for this domain. • No information on collaboration with other governments on involvement or participation in secret detention of suspected terrorists in other states. 12. Croatia • No instances of secret detention in the penitentiary system as a means to counter terrorism. • No involvement or collaboration in secret detention on the territory of another State. • No further comments on counter-terrorism measures. Detention per se is clearly regulated within Croatian legislative framework, including the sanctions for any possible misuse and/or illegal detention • No further comments or on past experiences with secret detention. Serious infringements of human rights, as well as a one dimensional approach to countering terrorism in past years, have only helped terrorist propaganda. Therefore, Croatia stresses the need for counterterrorism compliance with international law. 13. Cyprus • No instances of secret detention in the penitentiary system as a means to counter terrorism. • No involvement or collaboration in secret detention on the territory of another State. • No further comments on counter-terrorism measures (no terrorist incidents have occurred in the past 20 years in Cyprus) or on past experiences with secret detention.
