Example 1: Central African Republic 2014 “In compliance with resolution 2127, the Commission has drawn up an annex which consists of the names of a significant number of individuals whom it has reason to believe should be the subject of criminal investigations, along with a statement of the crimes of which each is suspected, and an outline of the evidence against them that has been obtained by the Commission. This annex, along with accompanying evidence and other relevant materials, will remain confidential and will be submitted to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.”123 Example 2: Darfur 2005 “The Commission instead will list the names in a sealed file that will be placed in the custody of the United Nations Secretary-General. The Commission recommends that this file be handed over to a competent Prosecutor [the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, according to the Commission’s recommendations], who will use that material as he or she deems fit for his or her investigations. A distinct and very voluminous sealed file, containing all the evidentiary material collected by the Commission, will be handed over to the High Commissioner for Human Rights. This file should be delivered to a competent Prosecutor.”124 When other types of investigations close, such as those undertaken by the human rights components of United Nations peace operations, OHCHR field offices and similar, information on responsible individuals is managed according to the applicable UN procedures.125 S/2014/928, para. 24.
