- 24 iv) if the breach of confidentiality is to be attributed to a member of the Secretariat or to an expert, the Committee would act under the recently adopted Rule 48 of the Rules of Procedure and take appropriate measures; v) in case of allegations in the media that the national authorities of a State Party have disclosed confidential material, the Bureau should immediately draw the attention of those authorities to such allegations and insist that the rule of confidentiality also applies to States. 83. Finally, as concerns the third policy line, the CPT has decided that the Bureau should immediately issue a correction of any inaccurate information in the media concerning the Committee's activities. 84. The CPT is confident that its new policy in the area of relations with the media will prove helpful. In particular, the Committee trusts that the media will gradually become aware that they should respect the restraints under which the CPT operates in its efforts to engage in a fruitful dialogue with sovereign States. On the other hand, although the CPT cannot put the bulk of its work in the public domain, it will strive to make public as much information about its activities as is compatible with the obligation of confidentiality.
