A/HRC/7/2 page 83 Information from sources 384. No information was received from sources regarding outstanding cases. Clarifications 385. The Working Group decided to clarify 12 cases where the six-month rule had been previously applied. Since no new observations were received from the source, these cases are now considered clarified. Discontinuation of cases 386. The Working Group decided, in accordance with its method of work, to discontinue consideration of one case. The Working Group has made numerous attempts to contact the source, but to no avail. The Working Group believes that it no longer has a useful role to play in trying to elucidate the whereabouts of the person involved, as no follow-up can be given to the case. The case can be reopened at any time if presented again to the Working Group. Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding 387. In previous years and during the period under review, the Working Group has transmitted 181 cases to the Government; of those, 49 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the source, 61 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the Government, and 1 case has been discontinued.
