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,
