A/HRC/19/58
Information from sources
335. Information was received from sources concerning one outstanding case, confirming
the information provided by the Government and, consequently, leading to its clarification.
Clarification
336. On the basis of the information provided by the Government, the Working Group
decided to clarify one case following the confirmation from the source.
Meeting
337. Representatives of the Government of Iraq met with the Working Group at its ninetyfifth session.
Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding
338. Since its establishment, the Working Group has transmitted 16,548 cases to the
Government; of those, 30 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by
the source, 108 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the
Government, and 16,410 remain outstanding.
Observations
339. The Working Group notes with concern that, during the reporting period, it transmitted
two urgent appeals and that the allegations on one of them were later transmitted as an
urgent action. The Working Group recalls article 2.1 of the Declaration which states that
―No State shall practise, permit or tolerate enforced disappearances‖, as well as article 3,
which provides that ―Each State shall take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or
other measures to prevent and terminate acts of enforced disappearance in any territory
under its jurisdiction.‖
340. In addition, the Working Group reminds the Government of its obligations under the
Declaration that ―any person deprived of liberty shall be held in an officially recognized
place of detention and, in conformity with national law, be brought before a judicial
authority promptly after detention‖ (article10).
