During the thirty-third session, the Special Rapporteur reported upon a meeting he had on 22 November 2004, with a representative of the State party. Following a new post-mortem into the author’s death, on 11 November 2004, the District Court in Sabaca transmitted new information to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Belgrade for an additional examination. The State party indicated its intention to update the Committee on the outcome of this examination. Having received information that the payment of compensation was ordered, the Special Rapporteur requested confirmation that compensation was paid as well as copies of the relevant documents, judgement etc. from the State party. Pursuant to the Committee’s request of 18 April 2005 on follow-up measures taken, the State party, by note verbale of 5 August 2005, confirmed that the First Municipal Court in Belgrade by decision of 30 December 2004 found that the complainant’s parents should be paid compensation. However, as this case is being appealed to the Belgrade District Court this decision is neither effective nor enforceable at this stage. The State party also informed the Committee that the Municipal Court had found inadmissible the request to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the allegations of police brutality as a possible cause of Mr. Ristic’s death.
