about measures adopted pursuant to the Committee’s decisions; recommending to the Committee appropriate action upon the receipt of responses from States parties, in situations of non-response, and upon the receipt henceforth of all letters from complainants concerning non-implementation of the Committee’s decisions; meeting with representatives of the permanent missions of States parties to encourage compliance and to determine whether advisory services or technical assistance by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights would be appropriate or desirable; conducting with the approval of the Committee follow-up visits to States parties; preparing periodic reports to the Committee on his/her activities. 76. During its thirty-fourth session, the Committee, through its Special Rapporteur on follow-up to decisions, decided that in cases in which it had found violations of the Convention, including Decisions made by the Committee prior to the establishment of the follow-up procedure, the States parties should be requested to provide information on all measures taken by them to implement the Committee’s Decisions. 77. In a follow-up report presented to the Committee during the thirty-fifth session, the Special Rapporteur on follow-up to decisions provided information received from four States parties pursuant to this request: France; Serbia and Montenegro (in relation to 113/1998, Ristic); Switzerland; and Sweden. The following countries did not respond to the request: Austria; Canada (with respect to Tahir Hussain Khan, 15/1994); the Netherlands; Spain; and Serbia and Montenegro (in relation to 161/2000, Hajrizi Dzemajl, 171/2000, Dimitrov, and 207/2002, Dragan Dimitrijevic). 78. Action taken by the States parties in the following cases complied fully with the Committee’s Decisions and no further action will be taken under the follow-up procedure: Mutombo v. Switzerland (13/1993); Alan v. Switzerland (21/1995); Aemei v. Switzerland (34/1995); Tapia Paez v. Sweden (39/1996); Kisoki v. Sweden (41/1996); Tala v. Sweden (43/1996); Avedes Hamayak Korban v.

In the following cases, the States parties either responded partially to the request, are in the process of taking further measures and further updates will be requested or comments on the action taken by the State are awaited from the complainant: Arana v. France (63/1997); Brada v. France (195/2003); Ristic v. Serbia and Montenegro (113/1998); and Agiza v. Sweden (233/2003). 79.
