A/HRC/WGEID/99/1 was drafted, and that it will not affect the fight against impunity in Colombia. The Working Group also notes that enforced disappearance is among the crimes which are excluded from the military jurisdiction, in accordance with article 16 of the Declaration. The Working Group wishes to emphasize that the reform shall not in any way affect the principle that all acts of enforced disappearances, irrespective of the perpetrator, should at all times fall under the competence of the ordinary criminal justice system. This includes the preliminary investigation phase, which is essential for the establishment of facts and clarification of responsibilities, in particular in cases of investigation of crimes that may be linked to enforced disappearances but do not necessarily qualify prima facie as such, including arbitrary detention and abuse of authority. 9. Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Standard procedure 40. The Working Group transmitted one case to the Government under its standard procedure concerning Mr. Seong-hwan Lee, who was allegedly arrested on 4 September 1950, at his home in Seoul, Republic of Korea, by a State Political Security Department Officer of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Information from the Government 41. On 21 January 2013, the Government transmitted information in relation to 15 outstanding cases. The information provided was not considered sufficient to lead to the clarification of the cases. Press release 42. On 27 February 2013, the Working Group, jointly with three other special procedures mechanisms, issued a press release concerning allegations of serious human rights violations, including enforced disappearances, in the context of an extensive labour camp system, also known as kwan-li-so, for political prisoners. This press release, which followed a general allegation transmitted on 3 October 2012, called, inter alia, for an international inquiry into human rights abuses in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Observations 43. The Working Group regrets that no reply has been received to the general allegation dated 3 October 2012 and reiterates the call upon the Government to fully cooperate with the inquiry mechanisms appointed by the Human Rights Council. The Working Group also encourages the Government to cooperate with the Working Group to help it to carry out its mandate effectively as set out in paragraph 14 of Human Rights Council resolution 21/4. 10. Egypt Standard procedure 44. The Working Group transmitted nine cases to the Government under its standard procedure. The first case concerned Mr. Mohamed Seddiq Tawfiq Mohamed, who was allegedly arrested on 28 January 2011 by the State Security Investigation Services after leaving home to join the demonstration in Tahrir Square, Cairo. 8
