determination on the merits has been reached, the Committee may transmit
to the State Party concerned for its urgent consideration a request that the
State Party will take such interim measures as may be necessary to avoid
possible irreparable damage to the victims of the alleged violation. Where
the Committee exercises its discretion, this does not imply a determination
on admissibility or on the merits of the communication.
5. The Committee shall hold closed meetings when examining
communications under the present article. It shall inform the author of a
communication of the responses provided by the State Party concerned.
When the Committee decides to finalize the procedure, it shall communicate

such a declaration, nor communications from a State Party which has not
made such a declaration.
