Since its establishment, the Working Group has transmitted 16 cases to the Government; of those, seven cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the source and nine remain outstanding. Observations 387. The Working Group has been gravely concerned about the number of allegations of enforced disappearances received during the reporting period, as reflected in the urgent action and the four urgent appeals transmitted to the Government, which make reference to several individuals. 388. The Working Group welcomes the willingness shown by the new Government to consider the possibility of extending an invitation for a visit in the future. 389. The Working Group encourages the new Government to secure the fulfilment of its obligations under the Declaration to ensure that cases of enforced disappearance are promptly investigated and persons accused of having committed these violations are arrested and prosecuted; that trials are only carried out in competent civilian courts and punishments are commensurate with the gravity of the crime; the individual and collective right to the truth about the practice of enforced disappearance in the country; and finally that the victims of acts of enforced disappearance obtain redress and integral reparations, including the means for as complete a rehabilitation as possible (articles 3, 13, 18, and 19). 11 84 The full text of the press release can be consulted at: (http://www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=10889&LangID=E)
