CAT/C/52/2 15. Further summary information on the above-mentioned visits is available in the press releases issued following each visit. D. Dialogue arising from visits, including publication of the Subcommittee’s reports by States parties and national preventive mechanisms 16. The substantive aspects of the dialogue arising from visits are governed by the rule of confidentiality. Reports are only made public with the consent of the State party or NPM concerned. At the end of 2013, the Subcommittee had transmitted a total of 28 visit reports to States parties and NPMs: 17 visit reports under article 11 (a) of the Optional Protocol, including 2 within the reporting period on Kyrgyzstan and New Zealand; 1 follow-up visit report under article 13, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol; and 10 reports arising from NPM advisory visits under articles 11 (b)3 and 12 of the Optional Protocol, including 8 within the reporting period to the States parties and NPMs of Armenia, Germany, the Republic of Moldova and Senegal. A total of 12 Subcommittee visit reports have been made public following requests from the States parties under article 16, paragraph 2, of the Optional Protocol, or requests from the NPMs. Two reports arising from NPM advisory visits were made public following requests from the NPMs of the Republic of Moldova and Senegal within the reporting period and one report arising from a visit under article 11 (a) of the Optional Protocol was made public following a request from Argentina. 17. In conformity with established practice, recipients are requested to provide a reply to a visit report within six months of its transmittal, giving a full account of action taken to implement the recommendations it contains. At the end of 2013, the Subcommittee had received 11 replies from States parties to visit reports under article 11 (a) of the Optional Protocol. The replies from Argentina, Benin, Brazil, Mexico (2 replies), Paraguay and Sweden have been made public, while those from Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Lebanon, Mauritius and Ukraine remain confidential. The Subcommittee considers the replies from the following five States parties to be overdue: Cambodia, Honduras, Liberia, Maldives and Mali. 18. The Subcommittee now issues a confidential written response to all replies received. In 2013, it transmitted such a response to Brazil. All responses currently remain confidential. 19. The Subcommittee has conducted two visits under article 13, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol, to Cambodia and Paraguay. The visit to Cambodia took place within the reporting period. Both the report and the reply arising from the previous article 13, paragraph 4, visit to Paraguay have been made public at the request of that State party. 20. The Subcommittee has transmitted reports to the NPMs and to the States parties in the wake of its NPM advisory visits under articles 11 (b) and 12 of the Optional Protocol to Armenia, Germany, Honduras, the Republic of Moldova and Senegal, all of which took place within the current reporting period except for the visit to Honduras. All the reports transmitted to the States parties remain confidential. The reports transmitted to the NPMs of Germany, Honduras, the Republic of Moldova and Senegal are public, whilst the report to the NPM of Armenia is confidential. States party replies from Honduras, the Republic of Moldova and Senegal are currently outstanding. 3 Since the Subcommittee sends separate confidential reports to both the State party and the NPM following such visits, each visit generates two reports. 5
