Information from the Government
170. The Working Group received three communications from the Government
dated 30 October 2007, 14 February 2008 and 21 October 2008. The first two communications
provided information on four outstanding cases. The Working Group decided that the responses
were insufficient to clarify them. The third communication provided information on the
implementation of the recommendations of the Working Group following its country visit
in 2007, which could not be translated by the Secretariat in time for consideration by the
Working Group for inclusion in the present report.
