CCPR/C/112/D/2026/2011 circumstances,7 given that he was deprived of the capacity to exercise the rights guaranteed to him by law or to have recourse to any remedy, in violation of article 16 of the Covenant. 3.9 In addition, the author argues that the conduct of a search without a warrant, followed by the looting and destruction of the family’s home, is an arbitrary and unlawful interference with their privacy and home, which constitutes a violation of article 17 of the Covenant with regard to the author, her husband and the rest of the family. 8 3.10 The author says that the incomplete and erroneous results of the inquiries purportedly carried out by the State party’s authorities into her husband’s fate show that there had been no reliable investigation. She recalls that the authorities initially denied that her husband had been arrested. Later they stated that he had been killed by security forces on 19 May 1996, whereas the author had been in contact with him as late as 3 June 1996. Finally, the authorities claimed that he had died as a member of a terrorist group on 18 May 1996, the very day of his arrest, which blatantly contradicted all first-hand accounts of his arrest and the initial statements made by the authorities. The author argues that the State party has violated its obligations to act on all complaints of serious violations of rights guaranteed under the Covenant, to carry out prompt, impartial, thorough and effective investigations, and to inform the author of the results of such investigations. The author therefore considers that she has not had recourse to an effective remedy before the authorities of the State party, in violation of article 2, paragraph 3, of the Covenant. 3.11 Lastly, the author notes that the Committee has correctly interpreted Ordinance No. 06-01 as an instrument whose aim is to promote impunity and infringe the right to an effective remedy. The adoption of this Ordinance reinforces the inefficiency and bias of the Algerian judicial system and deprives the author of all remedies available at the national level, in violation of article 2 (para. 3) of the Covenant, read alone and in conjunction with articles 6 (para. 1), 7, 9, 10 (para. 1), 16 and 17 of the Covenant. 3.12 The author asks the Committee to order the State party: (a) to release Rachid Sassene if he is still alive; (b) to conduct a prompt, thorough and effective investigation into his disappearance; (c) to report to the author and her family on the results of the investigation; (d) to prosecute, try and punish the persons responsible for Rachid Sassene’s disappearance, in conformity with the State party’s international commitments; and (e) to provide appropriate reparation to Rachid Sassene’s beneficiaries, including compensation, restitution, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition, for the grave moral and material harm which they have suffered since his disappearance.
