A/HRC/WGEID/111/1 women. In its reply the Government refers to the measures taken by the Search Commission for Disappeared Persons to combat the enforced disappearance of women in Colombia and to determine their whereabouts while applying a differential approach. It also refers to measures adopted by other institutions to ensure the provision of reparations from a gender perspective. The reply, in Spanish, is reproduced in full in annex III. Observations 35. The Working Group thanks the Government of Colombia for the information received on 6 September 2016 in relation to the general allegation. The Working Group recalls its general comment on women affected by enforced disappearances (A/HRC/WGEID/98/2), which stresses that a gender perspective should be incorporated in all measures, including legislative, administrative, judicial and others, taken by States, when dealing with enforced disappearance. Gender equality requires that all individuals — regardless of their sex or gender — enjoy without discrimination the rights enshrined in the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Standard procedure 36. The Working Group transmitted 34 cases to the Government. A summary of these cases is included in annex I. 37.

On 21 October 2016, the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea transmitted information concerning 16 outstanding cases.
