A/71/44 of those States parties to implement the provisions of the Convention in its territory. While Seychelles indicated that a report was under preparation, Cabo Verde did not reply. At its fifty-sixth session, the Committee decided to examine the situation of Cabo Verde in the absence of a report by the end of 2016. At the same session, the Committee decided to send specific reminders to Antigua and Barbuda and the Côte dʼIvoire to submit their long overdue initial reports or to accept the simplified reporting procedure. If they do not accept the simplified reporting procedure or if initial reports are not received pursuant to article 67 of its rules of procedure, the Committee will conduct at a future session an examination, in the absence of a report, of the measures taken by each of those States parties to implement the provisions of the Convention in its territory. At its fifty-seventh session, the Committee decided to examine the situation of Cabo Verde in the absence of a report at its fifty-ninth session. On 29 January 2016, Côte dʼIvoire accepted the simplified reporting procedure and will therefore receive a list of issues prior to reporting. E. Request for a special report 36. At its fifty-sixth session, in conformity with article 19 (1) of the Convention, and on the basis of information provided by the United Nations — such as the reports of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Special Adviser of the SecretaryGeneral on the Prevention of Genocide to the United Nations Security Council — and civil society organizations, the Committee decided to request that Burundi submit to it a special report on the following: (a) the measures taken by the State party to investigate reliable and numerous sources of information on summary executions, including political assassinations, arbitrary arrests, ill-treatment and torture in 2015 against members of opposition political parties, journalists, human rights defenders and their families and any other persons perceived to be supportive of the opposition, including information on whether any investigations led to the prosecution of security forces’ members or any other officials and individuals, and their outcome; (b) the progress of any investigations into the armed attack perpetrated in August 2015 against Pierre Claver Mbonimpa and the abduction and murder in November 2015 of his son, Welly Nzitonda; (c) the measures taken by the State party to investigate reliable and numerous sources of information on torture by members of the National Intelligence Service at its compound near Bujumbura cathedral, including information on whether any investigations led to the prosecution of National Intelligence Service members and their outcome; (d) the measures taken by the State party to investigate reliable and numerous sources of information on killings and torture perpetrated by members of the Imbonerakure youth group against persons perceived to be supportive of the opposition, including during an incident on 3 October in Cibitoke, including information on whether any investigations led to the prosecution of Imbonerakure members and their outcome; and (e) the measures taken by the State party to implement the Committee’s recommendations contained in its concluding observations of 26 November 2014 under the follow-up procedure.
