CCPR/C/112/D/2086/2011 respect of Sahraoui Ayache and of article 2 (para. 3), read in conjunction with article 7 of the Covenant, in respect of the authors. 9. The Human Rights Committee, acting under article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is of the view that the information before it discloses violations by the State party of articles 6 (para. 1), 7, 9, 10 (para. 1), 16 and 17 of the Covenant and of article 2 (para. 3), read in conjunction with articles 6 (para. 1), 7, 9, 10 (para. 1), 16 and 17, in respect of Sahraoui Ayache. It also finds a violation by the State party of article 7, read alone and read in conjunction with article 2 (para. 3), in respect of the authors. 10. In accordance with article 2, paragraph 3, of the Covenant, the State party is under an obligation to provide the authors and their family with an effective remedy, which includes the following: (a) carrying out a thorough and effective investigation into the disappearance of Sahraoui Ayache; (b) providing the authors and their family with detailed information concerning the results of this investigation; (c) releasing Sahraoui Ayache immediately if he is still being detained incommunicado; (d) in the event that Sahraoui Ayache is no longer alive, returning his remains to his family; (e) prosecuting, trying and punishing those responsible for committing the violations; (f) providing adequate compensation for the moral damage suffered to the authors and to Sahraoui Ayache, if he is still alive, taking the payments already made into account; and (g) providing the authors with appropriate measures of satisfaction. Notwithstanding the terms of Ordinance No. 0601, the State party should ensure that it does not impede enjoyment of the right to an effective remedy for crimes such as torture, extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. The State party is also under an obligation to take steps to prevent similar violations in the future. 11. Bearing in mind that, by becoming a party to the Optional Protocol, the State party has recognized the competence of the Committee to determine whether or not there has been a violation of the Covenant and that, pursuant to article 2 of the Covenant, the State party has undertaken to ensure to all individuals within its territory or subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the Covenant and to provide an effective and enforceable remedy when a violation has been established, the Committee wishes to receive from the State party, within 180 days, information about the measures taken to give effect to the Committee’s Views. The State party is also requested to publish the present Views and to have them widely disseminated in the official languages of the State party. 16 GE.14-21909
