An interministerial working group had been established to investigate these allegations. will always be assessed in light of Denmark’s international obligations.6 Government: Danish legislation contains no provisions on diplomatic assurances, and this device has not been applied by Denmark. The white book upon which Act No 209 of 28 May 2009 on administrative expulsion was based states that “…it cannot be denied, that it is possible to apply diplomatic assurances without violating international law, but the possibility is limited.” The white book lists a number of restrictions and strict preconditions in this respect. Government: The Governmental report on secret CIA-Rendition flights in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroese Islands, written by the Inter-ministerial Working Group, was released the 23 October 2008: Neither the existing information on extraordinary rendition flights, nor the answers given by the United States of America to questions from Denmark have made it possible for the Working Group or the relevant Danish authorities to authoritatively determine whether or not CIA flights have occurred in Danish, Greenlandic or Faroese airspace or not. Further it can’t be verified or substantiated if the claim that Danish, Greenlandic and Faroese authorities should have had or actually did have knowledge of alleged extra-judicial CIA activities.
