A/HRC/28/68/Add.1 186. The CAT, which Ethiopia acceded on 14 March 1994, prohibits torture absolutely without exception in article 1 and prohibits the use of any evidence in any proceedings obtained under torture in article 15. 187. In the absence of convincing information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, reiterated above, and thus, that the Government of Ethiopia has violated the right of Mr. Ali Adorus to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT. Equatorial Guinea JUA 23/12/2013 Case No. GNQ 3/2013 State Reply: None to date Alegaciones relativas al arresto y la detención del Sr. Agustín Esono Nsogo. 188. El Relator Especial lamenta que, hasta la fecha, el Gobierno de Guinea Ecuatorial no haya respondido a la presente comunicación, y por ello, considera que no ha cumplido con su deber de cooperar con el mandato establecido por el Consejo de Derechos Humanos en la resolución 25/13. Asimismo, el Relator Especial considera que el Gobierno no ha cumplido con la obligación emanada de la norma consuetudinaria internacional de investigar, juzgar y sancionar todos los actos de tortura y los tratos crueles, inhumanos o degradantes, como establece, inter alia, la Convención contra la Tortura (CAT). 189. Ante la falta de información que indique lo contrario, el Relator concluye que el Gobierno de Guinea Ecuatorial, al no tomar medidas para proteger la integridad física y psicológica del Sr. Agustín Esono Nsogo y privarlo de comunicación con el mundo exterior, es responsable por el sufrimiento físico y mental del Sr. Nsogo y ha violado el derecho de este último a no ser torturado o sometido a tratos crueles, inhumanos o degradantes como afirma el derecho internacional consuetudinario codificado en los artículos 1 y 16 del CAT. Fiji JUA 16/01/2014 Case No. FJI 1/2014 State Reply: None to date Allegations concerning Ms. A, a 21 year old woman who was allegedly abducted and raped by her exboyfriend. Ms. A was then detained and charged with giving false information after reporting these incidents to the police. 190. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of Fiji has not replied to the present communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13, and to comply with its obligation, under international customary law, to investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as codified, inter alia, in the Convention against Torture (CAT). 191. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, reiterated above, and thus, that the Government of Fiji, by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of Ms. A and her relative, including protecting them from threats and intimidation by the alleged perpetrator and his friends, as well as from violence and coercion by the police, has violated their right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT. 32
