CCPR/C/112/D/2053/2011 Appendix II [Original: English] Individual opinion of Committee member Dheerujlall B. Seetulsingh (concurring) While I come to the same conclusion as the majority that there is no violation by the State in the present case, I am of the view that such finding should not be subject to the condition stipulated at the end of paragraph 7.4, as this creates a considerable degree of uncertainty which may raise difficulty in complying with the views of the Committee. In the light of the Committee’s own finding that the author has not put forward any reason why he could not relocate within Senegal, the burden falls upon him to avail himself of the protection of his own State as established by the doctrine of internal flight. The duty of ascertaining the location where adequate and effective protection is available in Senegal does not rest upon the authorities of the State party (Australia).Their duty is limited to obtaining reliable information that Senegal is a secular State where there is religious tolerance. 13
