means of redress, including compensation and rehabilitation, provided to the victims.

treaties to which it is not yet a party, namely the International Convention on the Protection

of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.

information in response to the Committee’s recommendations related to: (a) conducting
prompt, impartial and effective investigations; and (b) prosecuting suspects and sanctioning
perpetrators of torture or ill-treatment, as set forth in paragraphs 10 and 13 of the present
document. In addition, the Committee requests follow-up information on the conditions of
