Situation during visit in 2008 Information received in the reporting Steps taken in previous years and (See A/HRC/13/39/Add.6; A/HRC/16/52/Add.2A) period on several occasions discussed the matter with the USA and clearly indicated that Denmark do not accept the use of Danish Greenlandic and Faroese airspace nor airports for flights and stopovers, which are not in accordance with international law. By Government‘s decision and in light of the new information about the landing of an aircraft in Narsarsuaq and the possible linkage between these aircrafts and the CIA, the Interministerial Working Group for the Compilation of the Report Concerning Secret CIA Flights in Denmark, Greenland and on Faroe Islands (The CIA Working Group) was established to investigate all prior information on alleged CIA flights in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands and to report on examination of the existing information. The report also contains information concerning events outside of Denmark, which are of importance to the case. The working group concluded that based on the existing information it has not been possible to confirm or deny the ―CIA‘s Danish Connection‖. On the basis of the working group‘s conclusions , the CIA Working Group recommended that the Government informs the USA that any kind of renditions through Danish Greenlandic and Faroese airspaces without the explicit permission of the Danish authorities will be an unacceptable violation of Danish sovereignty; inform the USA that Denmark disapproves extrajudicial renditions, which take place outside the realm of the relevant national and international law; consistently at any given opportunity rejects all means which violate the rights of the detainee, A/HRC/19/61/Add.3 40 Recommendations (A/HRC/10/44/Add.2)
