true identity of children subjected to enforced disappearance or whose parents are victims of a disappearance. Part II of the Convention contains the international monitoring provisions, that is, the establishment of a Committee on Enforced Disappearances charged with five monitoring tasks: (a) To examine reports submitted by States parties on the measures taken to give effect to their obligations under the Convention; (b) To send urgent communications to States, requesting that they take all the necessary measures, including interim measures, to locate and protect a disappeared person. This is the first time that a mandate of such nature is given to a treaty-monitoring body; (c) To receive and consider communications from individuals claiming to be victims of a violation by a State party of provisions of the Convention; (d) To receive and consider communications in which a State party claims that another State party is not fulfilling its obligations under the Convention; (e) To undertake a visit to a State party, after consultation with the State concerned, if it receives information indicating that this State is seriously violating the provisions of the Convention. Finally, if the Committee receives well-founded information that enforced disappearance is being practised on a widespread or systematic basis in a State party, it may bring the matter to the attention of the General Assembly, through the Secretary-General, after seeking information from the State concerned. It is, again, the first time that a mandate of this kind is given to a treaty-monitoring body. The tasks assigned to the Committee will, it is hoped, lead to further protection against and prevention of enforced disappearances throughout the world. The full text of the International Convention is set out in annex IV to this Fact Sheet. 10
