Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 92. The Committee last examined this case at its meeting in June 2001 [see 325th Report, paras. 510-523]. On that occasion, the Committee requested the Government to initiate an independent inquiry into the alleged acts of violence committed during the strike held in August 1999 against the workers of ENAFER S.A. and their families with a view to clarifying the effects, determining responsibility and punishing those responsible.
2. 93. In communications dated 25 June, 27 August 2001 and 14 January 2002, the Government undertook to inform the Committee of the facts once it had obtained the information requested and it accepted the responsibility to avoid any excess of duty in acquiring this information, such as occurred during the situation in question. The Government also indicates that it has requested further information from ENAFER S.A. In addition the Government wishes that the complainant in this case (the CGTP) would submit a detailed list of the workers who were allegedly victims of the acts described above.
3. 94. The Committee notes this information, while regretting that more than two years have passed since the alleged acts took place and that the Government still does not have concrete results of the inquiry, and requests that the necessary measures be taken without delay for the inquiry to be carried out and results forthcoming in the very near future.
