detention and mistreatment.

The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of Georgia has failed to
respond to this communication, thereby withholding cooperation with the mandate provided
by the Human Rights Council. The communication referred to the alleged arbitrary
detention and mistreatment of Mr. Suleyman Barbakadze. As it is the responsibility of the
Special Rapporteur under the mandate provided by the Human Rights Council to seek to
clarify all cases brought before him, the Special Rapporteur again calls on the Government
to provide information concerning the legal grounds for the arrest and detention of Mr.
Barbakadze and the results of any investigation into his alleged mistreatment. The
government is respectfully urged to ensure that no confession or statement obtained under
torture be used against Mr. Barbakadze.

The Special Rapporteur is grateful that the Government replied to the
communication regarding the alleged participation of German authorities in the arrest,
detention, conviction and imprisonment of Mr. Hajib in Morocco without assessing whether
there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to
torture or other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in a detailed
manner. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to continue its engagement
with the mandate.
Guatemala
JAL 19/08/2011 Case No. GTM 12/2011 State reply: None to date Presunta participación
de un general en actos de tortura cometidos durante el conflicto armado interno.
59.
El Relator Especial lamenta que, hasta la fecha, el Gobierno de Guatemala no haya
respondido a esta comunicación de fecha 19 de agosto de 2011. La comunicación se referíá
al uso sistemático de la tortura por agentes estatales durante el conflicto armado interno de
los 80 y contra prisioneros en 1992 y solicitó al Gobierno a proporcionar información
acerca de las medidas tomadas para identificar y procesar penalmente a los responsables.
En este contexto, el Relator Especial desea hacer referencia al Gobierno de Guatemala a los
artículos 7 y 12 de la Convención contra la Tortura. Ante la ausencia de evidencia
contradictoria, el Relator Especial considera que los derechos de las presuntas víctimas
siguen siendo vulnerados. El Relator Especial reitera su llamamiento al Gobierno a asegurar
la investigación, procesamiento y eventual condena de los responsables, y ruega de nuevo
información en cuanto a las medidas que hayan sido tomadas.
