The Working Group wishes to recall that under article 10 of the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, any person deprived of liberty is to be held in an officially recognized place of detention and, in conformity with national law, be brought before a judicial authority promptly after detention. In addition, the fact that the Working Group declares a case clarified does not exonerate the Government concerned from its obligations under the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance to, inter alia, further investigate the case, bring the perpetrators to justice, provide adequate compensation to the family of the disappeared person and take all measures necessary to prevent similar cases from occurring in the future. 40 See RWA 2/2021.
