A/HRC/36/37 3. New follow-up procedure 10. At its seventy-sixth session, held in August 2016, the Working Group developed a new follow-up procedure pursuant to paragraph 20 of its methods of work. The procedure is intended to ensure that the Working Group is able to track the implementation of recommendations made in its opinions and can inform the Human Rights Council of progress made by Governments in addressing cases involving the arbitrary deprivation of liberty. All opinions adopted by the Working Group in which it concludes that the deprivation of liberty is arbitrary now contain the follow-up procedure in the concluding paragraphs, including a request for the concerned Government and the source to provide the Working Group, within six months of the date of the transmission of the opinion, with information on implementation of the recommendations. 11. The requested information includes updates, where appropriate, on: (a) whether the victim has been released; (b) whether compensation or other reparations have been made to the victim; (c) whether an investigation has been conducted into the violation of the victim’s rights; (d) whether changes have been made to harmonize the law and practice of the country with its international human rights obligations; and (e) any other action taken to implement the opinion. When no follow-up information is received, the Working Group contacts the parties to seek further information on the implementation of its opinions. The table above shows information received pursuant to the new procedure. 4. Release of the subjects of the Working Group’s opinions 12.
