CCPR/C/112/D/2026/2011 7, 9, 10 (para. 1), 16 and 17, with regard to Rachid Sassene, and of article 2 (para. 3), read in conjunction with article 7, with regard to the author. 8. The Human Rights Committee, acting under article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is of the view that the information before it discloses a violation by the State party of articles 6 (para. 1), 7, 9, 10 (para. 1), 16 and 17 of the Covenant, as well as of article 2 (para. 3), read in conjunction with articles 6 (para. 1), 7, 9, 10 (para. 1), 16 and 17, with regard to Rachid Sassene. The Committee also finds a violation by the State party of article 7 of the Covenant, read alone and in conjunction with article 2 (para. 3), with regard to the author. 9. In accordance with article 2, paragraph 3, of the Covenant, the State party is under an obligation to provide the author and her family with an effective remedy, including by: (a) carrying out a thorough and effective investigation into the disappearance of Rachid Sassene and providing the author and her family with detailed information about the results of its investigation; (b) releasing Rachid Sassene immediately if he is still being held incommunicado; (c) in the event that he is deceased, returning his remains to his family; (d) prosecuting, trying and punishing those responsible for the violations that were committed; (e) providing adequate compensation to the author for the violations perpetrated against her, and to Rachid Sassene, if he is alive; and (f) providing appropriate satisfaction for the author and her family. Notwithstanding the terms of Ordinance No. 06-01, the State party should ensure that it does not impede enjoyment of the right to an effective remedy for crimes such as torture, extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. The State party is also under an obligation to take steps to prevent similar violations in the future. 10. Bearing in mind that, by becoming a party to the Optional Protocol, the State party has recognized the competence of the Committee to determine whether or not there has been a violation of the Covenant and that, pursuant to article 2 of the Covenant, the State party has undertaken to ensure to all individuals within its territory or subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the Covenant and to provide an effective and enforceable remedy when a violation has been established, the Committee wishes to receive from the State party, within 180 days, information about the measures taken to give effect to the Committee’s Views. The State party is also requested to publish the present Views and to have them widely disseminated in the official languages of the State party. GE.14-24387 11
