A/HRC/34/54/Add.3 80. A pesar de la voluntad de cooperación con el Relator Especial y de que el Gobierno de Colombia se encuentra cumpliendo con la obligación emanada de la norma consuetudinaria internacional de investigar, juzgar y sancionar todos los actos de tortura y tratos crueles, inhumanos o degradantes, como establece, inter alia, la Convención contra la Tortura (CAT), el Relator Especial concluye que, al no tomar medidas para prevenir la desaparición y homicidio de varios manifestantes, ha violado sus derechos a no ser torturados o sometidos a tratos crueles, inhumanos o degradantes como afirma el derecho internacional consuetudinario codificado en los artículos 1 y 16 del CAT. 81. En cuanto al accionar del Gobierno en la manifestación, el Relator Especial concluye que el Gobierno de Colombia al no tomar medidas para proteger la integridad física de los manifestantes, ha violado el derecho los manifestantes a no ser sometidos a tratos crueles, inhumanos o degradantes como afirman los artículos 1 y 16 del CAT. Sin embargo, el Relator Especial insiste en conocer el resultado de las investigaciones sobre el uso desmedido de la fuerza por parte de agentes policiales y militares y la estigmatización de los manifestantes indígenas y sus demandas durante la realización de la Minga. Croatia JUA 04/03/2016 Case No. HRV 1/2016 State Reply: 02/08/16 Allegations concerning plans to increase policing along the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’s southern border, in violation of the principle of non-refoulement. 82. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Republic of Croatia for its reply, dated 8 February 2016, to the present communication. 83. The Special Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government regarding the registration and identification procedures of migrants, and the national laws on non-refoulement. He welcomes the Government’s claim that its police stationed in Macedonia have received training on basic human rights and rights of migrants, and that migrants within Croatia were processed in compliance with international law and the Dublin Regulation. However, in spite of the information supplied by the Government, its reply fails to inform the Rapporteur concerning the Government’s role in enabling the collective expulsion of non-nationals at Macedonia’s southern border, as a result of the “Joint Statement of Heads of Police Services” and Croatian police presence on the border. The Rapporteur hence finds that the Government, in its reply, does not sufficiently address the concerns, legal obligations, and questions raised in the initial communication, which prompts him to infer that the Government fails to fully and expeditiously cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13. 84. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Special Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, available via the link above, and that the Government, by participating in, and being party to the Joint Statement, did not comply with its positive obligation to prohibit non-refoulement at Macedonia’s southern border. By denying persons an opportunity to make a proper claim for protection, and enabling their return to places where they may face torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, Croatia has violated its obligation under articles 1, 2, 3, and 16 of the Convention against Torture (CAT). 85. The Special Rapporteur would like to draw the Government’s attention to his 2015 thematic report addressing the extraterritorial application of the prohibition of torture, 19
