the Venezuelan Embassy in Peru. The State party pointed out that the situation in Peru has changed since the Committee adopted its decision. There is no longer a pattern of widespread torture, and the Government is engaged in redressing the human rights abuses of the past regime. The complainant has been visited on a regular basis and she has not been subjected to torture or any other ill-treatment. The State party considers that its commitment to ensure, through monitoring, that the complainant is not subjected to treatment or punishment contrary to the Convention, has been met. The Government also considers that it has complied with the recommendation that similar violations should be avoided in the future. It informed the Committee that since the adoption of the law on refugees in 2001, the newly established National Commission for Refugees has been duly processing all the applications of asylum-seekers as well as examining cases of deportation. The Government asks the Committee to declare that the former has complied with the Committee’s recommendations, and to release the Government from the duty to monitor the situation of the deportee in Peru.
