A/HRC/34/54/Add.3 includes actions that a State takes in its own jurisdiction to prevent such acts in another jurisdiction.” (A/70/303, para. 14, 38). 437. While welcoming the statement that Slovenia no longer implements the Joint Statement, the Special Rapporteur nevertheless strongly urges the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to explicitly reject the Joint Statement and the principles and policies it espouses, as well as to take measures to ensure that its procedures and involvement at Macedonia’s southern border are brought fully in line with its nonrefoulement obligations under international law. Somalia JUA 16/11/2015 Case No. OTH 9/2015 State Replies: 10/05/2016 and 16/06/2016 Allegations of the imminent execution of Mr. Abdullahi Ali, a man with psychosocial disabilities, who is reportedly at risk of imminent execution in Somaliland. 438. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Somalia for its replies, dated 10 May 2016 and 16 June 2016, to the present communication. 439. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government that the case is pending before full bench at the Supreme Court. 440. The Special Rapporteur however 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 conclude that the Government fails fully and expeditiously to 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). 441. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Special Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, reiterated above, and thus, that the Government of Somalia and the authorities of Somaliland, by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity and prevent the physical abuse of Mr. Ali, exclude evidence obtained under torture or ill-treatment, and take steps to prevent the execution of Mr. Ali, has acted in discordance with article 15 of the CAT, and violated his right to be free from torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment as provided by articles 1 and 16 or the CAT. The Special Rapporteur urges the State of Somalia to refrain from executing this person. South Sudan JUA 18/07/2016 Case No. SSD 2/2016 State Reply: None to Date Allegations concerning the continued arbitrary detention, mistreatment in detention, and conviction following judicial procedures that did not meet international standards on fair trial and due process, of four Kenyan nationals since 29 May 2015. 442. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of South Sudan has not replied to the present communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13. 80
