its working methods, if necessary;

Recalls that the primary role of the Working Group, as described
in its reports, is to act as a channel of communication between the families
of disappeared persons and the Governments concerned, with a view to ensuring
that sufficiently documented and clearly identified individual cases are

mandate and contains the required elements, and invites the Group to continue
to seek the views and comments of all concerned, including Member States, in
preparing its report;
12.
Invites the Working Group to identify obstacles to the realization
of the provisions of the Declaration, to recommend ways of overcoming those
obstacles and, in this regard, to continue a dialogue with Governments and
relevant intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations;
13.
Further encourages the Working Group to continue to consider the
question of impunity, in close collaboration with the rapporteur appointed by
the Subcommission and with due regard for the relevant provisions of the
Declaration;

Requests the Working Group to pay the utmost attention to cases of
children subjected to enforced disappearance and children of disappeared
persons and to cooperate closely with the Governments concerned to search for
and identify those children;
15.
Appeals to the Governments concerned, in particular those which
have not yet replied to the communications transmitted by the Working Group,
to cooperate fully with it and, in particular, to reply promptly to its
requests for information so that, while respecting its working methods based
on discretion, it may perform its strictly humanitarian role;
16.
Encourages the Governments concerned to give serious consideration
to inviting the Working Group to visit their countries so as to enable the
Group to fulfil its mandate even more effectively;
17.
Expresses its profound thanks to the many Governments that have
cooperated with the Working Group and replied to its requests for information,
and to the Governments that have invited the Group to visit their countries,
asks them to give all necessary attention to the recommendations of the Group,
and invites them to inform the Group of any action they take on those
recommendations;
18.
Calls upon the Commission on Human Rights to continue to study
