Committee decided to close the follow-up dialogue with a note of satisfactory resolution
with regard to three communications, namely No. 490/2012, E.K.W. v. Finland, wherein the
complainants had been recognized as refugees and therefore allowed to stay in the State
party; No. 625/2014, G.I. v. Denmark, in which case the complainant had returned
voluntarily from the State party to his country of origin; and No. 639/2014, N.A.A. v.
Switzerland, wherein the complainant had received temporary admission and therefore
could not be removed to his country of origin. The Committee reviewed the information
received with regard to nine other cases and decided to keep the follow-up dialogue open.
The Committee also held a meeting on follow-up with the representatives of the Permanent
Mission of Denmark to discuss the possible measures by the State party’s authorities to
implement several of the Committee’s decisions.

VIII. Adoption of the annual report of the Committee on its

calendar year. Accordingly, at its 1651st meeting, held on 18 May 2018 (see
