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

1. 81. At its March 2008 session, the Committee made the following recommendation regarding the transfer of the Executive Committee members of the Union of Workers of the Criminal Investigation Department (SITRADICMP) [see 349th Report, para. 871]:
   • The Committee requests the Government, in the absence of any information to the contrary, to adopt the necessary measures to cancel the transfer of the Executive Committee members and to ensure that the union and its members can exercise their legitimate activities without being subjected to intimidation and persecution. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in this regard.
2. 82. In its communication dated 28 April 2008, the Government states that the Attorney-General and the head of the personnel department of the Attorney-General’s Office, by an agreement dated 23 July 2007, cancelled the transfer of the workers, Mr Javier de León Salazar, Mr José Alejandro Reyes Canales and Mr Axel Vinicio Lemus Figueroa, as a result of their having objected in court to their transfers, which had been confirmed by the Council of the Attorney-General’s Office. The agreement was reached pursuant to a court order issued against the Council of the Attorney-General’s Office, in strict compliance with the rule of law and the right of the interested parties to appeal administrative acts using the remedies and proceedings available to them under the law, and in strict compliance with the recommendation made by the Committee on Freedom of Association.
3. 83. The Committee notes this information with interest.
