CCPR/C/116/D/2402/2014 Annex II Individual opinion of Committee member Olivier de Frouville (dissenting) [Original: French] I wish to associate myself with the arguments put forward by my colleague Mr. Yadh Ben Achour in his dissenting opinion. For all the reasons he explained, I disagree with the decision taken by the Committee in this case. Like Mr. Ben Achour, I consider that the communication should have been declared admissible and that the Committee should have found on the merits that there would be a risk of irreparable harm in violation of article 7 if the authors were deported to Italy. In addition, it is difficult to understand what distinguishes this case from not only the case of Jasin et al. v. Denmarka but also that of Ali et al. v. Denmark.b As the Committee indicated in both those Views, in this type of case, Denmark needs to establish a proper procedure for seeking adequate assurances from the Italian authorities that the authors will be received in conditions compatible with the requirements under article 7 of the Covenant. a b GE.16-10167 Communication No. 2360/2014, Jasin et al. v. Denmark, Views adopted on 22 July 2015. Communication No. 2409/2014, Ali et al. v. Denmark, Views adopted on 29 March 2016. 13
