A/HRC/28/68/Add.1 of investigation and documentation and particularly about its conditions to ensure promptness, independence, effectiveness and impartiality. 296. Overall, the Rapporteur finds that the Government, in its reply, does not sufficiently address the concerns, legal obligations, and questions raised in the initial communication, which prompts him to infer that the Government fails to fully and expeditiously cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13, as well as to comply with its obligation, under international customary law, to investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as codified, inter alia, in the Convention against Torture (CAT). 297. In the absence of sufficient and convincing information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, reiterated above, and thus, that the Government of Libya, by failing to protect Mr. A from torture and ill-treatment in prison and effectively investigate such accusations, has violated the right of Mr. A to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT. (b) JAL 30/09/2014 Case No. LBY 3/2014 State Reply: None to date Allegations of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment of Mr. A, committed by Libyan law enforcement officials. 298. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of Libya has not replied to the communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 15/13, or to comply with its obligation, under international customary law, to investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as codified, inter alia, in the Convention against Torture (CAT). 299. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, reiterated above and thus, that the Government of Libya, by failing to protect the physical and mental integrity of Mr. A, has violated his right to be free from torture or cruel , inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT. Mexico (a) JAL 24/03/2014 Case No. MEX 1/2014 State Reply: None to date Alegaciones relativas a la tortura y posterior ejecución extrajudicial del Sr. Florencio Rojas Aguilar, en el Palacio Municipal de Cochoapa el Grande, en Guerrero, el día 5 de febrero de 2011. 300. El Relator Especial lamenta que, hasta la fecha, el Gobierno de México no haya respondido a la presente comunicación, y por ello, considera que no ha cumplido con su deber de cooperar con el mandato establecido por el Consejo de Derechos Humanos en la resolución 25/13. Asimismo, el Relator Especial considera que el Gobierno no ha cumplido con la obligación emanada de la norma consuetudinaria internacional de investigar, juzgar y sancionar todos los actos de tortura y los tratos crueles, inhumanos o degradantes, como establece, inter alia, la Convención contra la Tortura (CAT). 301. Ante la falta de información que indique lo contrario, el Relator concluye que el Gobierno de México, al no tomar medidas para proteger la integridad física del Sr. Florencio Rojas Aguilar, quien fue ingresado a golpes al Palacio Municipal y torturado por la policía preventiva, es responsable por los actos de tortura contra el Sr. Rojas Aguilar y ha violado el derecho de la víctima a no ser torturado o sometido a tratos crueles, inhumanos o 51
