Cooperate in a full and transparent manner with any such international inquiry under the auspices of the OHCHR. • Grant Ahmed Agiza a new trial in a civilian court with full procedural guarantees and in conformity with Egypt’s obligations under the Convention against Torture regarding Agiza’s allegations of torture. • End all restrictive measures aimed at prohibiting Mohammad al-Zari from moving freely within Egypt or outside the country in recognition of the fact that Egyptian authorities have declared that he is not suspected of any crime and released him from detention in October 2003. Ensure that al-Zari is not prohibited in any way, including by threats or harassment to him or his family members, from making complaints about the handling of his case and his treatment in detention before national and international bodies. To the Government of Syria: • Cooperate in a full and transparent manner with the Canadian Commission of Inquiry into the case of Maher Arar. • Provide to Maher Arar’s Canadian and U.S. legal teams all relevant information related to his transfer and subsequent treatment in Syria, including the form and content of the diplomatic assurances against torture transmitted to the U.S. authorities. To United Nations Bodies: To the Committee against Torture • Reaffirm at the May 2005 session of the Committee (and regularly thereafter) the absolute and non-derogable nature of the prohibition against torture and the corresponding absolute and non-derogable obligation not to expel, return, extradite or otherwise transfer any person to a country where there are substantial grounds for believing that he or she would be at risk of torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment (the ban on refoulement).
