CAT/C/54/D/456/2011 article 14 of the Convention. 13 In view of the failure to carry out a prompt and impartial investigation into the allegations made by the complainants and of the points outlined in the preceding paragraphs, the Committee finds that the State party is also in breach of its obligations under article 14 of the Convention. 6.10 The Committee notes that the enforced disappearance of Mr. Guerrero Larez caused anguish and distress for the complainants and that the authorities were indifferent to their efforts to ascertain his whereabouts and fate. The authors have never received an adequate account of the circumstances of his alleged death or escape, nor have his bodily remains been released to them. In the absence of a satisfactory explanation from the State party, the Committee considers that the facts reveal a violation of article 16 of the Convention in relation to the complainants. 7. The Committee, acting pursuant to article 22, paragraph 7, of the Convention, is of the view that the facts before it disclose violations under articles 2 (para. 1), 11, 12 and 14, read separately and in conjunction with article 1, wi th regard to Mr. Guerrero Larez, and under article 16 with regard to the complainants. 8. Pursuant to rule 118, paragraph 5, of its rules of procedure, the Committee urges the State party to: (a) conduct a thorough and effective investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr. Guerrero Larez’s disappearance in the Penitentiary; (b) prosecute, try and punish those responsible for the violations committed; and (c) grant compensation and the means for rehabilitation in accordance with the Convention to Mr. Guerrero Larez, if he is still alive, and compensation to the complainants. The Committee urges the State party to inform it, within 90 days from the date of the transmittal of this decision, of the steps it has taken in conformity with the above views. __________________ 13 GE.15-10585 See general comment No. 3 (2012) of the Committee on the implementation of article 14 by States parties. 11/11
