A/HRC/41/39/Add.4 59. Para 74 Please see comment number 33 above. 60. Para 77 Once again, the Lao PDR is disappointed in the blatant false accusation. Facts of the case have been released to the public and international community, including the statements of the Investigation Committee responsible for the case, detailed decription of the footage was stated in the first statement of the said Committee and certainly there is no “police van” appearing in the footage. Also, please see comment number 30. Lao PDR strongly rejects the false accusation made in the report – “Sombath Somphone […] last seen getting into a police van”. According to the analysis of the Investigation committee, the vehicle shown in the video recorded on CCTV footage was an unknown van without a plate number and it was not a government-owned or police vehicle. The Investigation Committee has made all efforts in the investigation which, the Government would like to confirm again, is still ongoing until a conclusion can be drawn. The Investigation Committee, from time to time, has met with and provided updates to foreign diplomats and the family of the missing person on the investigation, including at the bilateral human rights dialogues with the EU and Australia. 61. Para 84 Lao PDR rejects to the term used in this report that “... the failures of its [the World Bank] “model” dam Nam Theun 2” and the footnote 67, which solely represented the personal views and lacked of concrete evidence to support. It is suggested that the Special Rapporteur seek the latest credible and full-analysed report of the 28th mission of the independent International Environmental and Social Panel of Experts who visited the Lao PDR in June-July 2018, which is available on the World Bank’s website (http://www.worldbank.org/en/country/lao/brief/nam-theun-2-project-overview-andupdate). The Panel of Experts’ report and its official letter sent to the Government of the Lao PDR clearly stated that the experts were fully satisfied with the Nam Theun 2 Project. 14
