Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body - Report No 326, November 2001

Case No 2084 (Costa Rica) - Complaint date: 15-MAY-00 - Closed

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

1. 65. At its March 2001 meeting, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the final administrative decisions and judicial verdicts handed down in relation to the case of trade union leader Mr. Mario Alberto Zamora Cruz to enable it to reach a decision in this case [see 324th Report, para. 484].
2. 66. In its communications of 25 May and 24 August 2001, the Government states that the Attorney-General has not yet handed down a decision concerning the defamatory and libellous complaint filed by Mr. Zamora against the Minister of Justice. Furthermore, Mr. Zamora has lodged a succession of appeals against the members of the Civil Service Tribunal for absolutely unfounded irregularities and incidents relating to the disciplinary proceedings being taken against him, thus employing delaying tactics in order to invoke the prescription.
3. 67. The Committee notes this information and reiterates its earlier requests for information concerning the final administrative decisions and verdicts relating to this case.
