assurances given by the receiving State that they will be protected from torture and other ill treatment.396 79. Extraordinary renditions under these circumstances will constitute grave violations of international human rights law, including but not limited to the absolute prohibition on torture and other ill-treatment (of which the absolute principle of non-refoulement is an integral part), the rights to liberty and security of the person, and the absolute prohibition on enforced disappearances where the detention is unacknowledged or the whereabouts of the person are not disclosed. As such it is incumbent upon States to have in place procedures to ensure accountability for extraordinary rendition and any complicity a State may have in the process, whether by the activities of their own agents, the presence of foreign agents or the use of their airspace. A victim of an ‘extraordinary rendition’ must be afforded an effective remedy and full and adequate reparation by each responsible entity.397 396 397 Report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, E/CN.4/2006/94, 16 February 2006. See the UN Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances (2006). 80
