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

1. 59. At its November 2001 meeting, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of: (a) the investigation into the raid on SUNTRACS headquarters and the alleged ill-treatment suffered by a number of workers of the Aribesa enterprise; and (b) the judicial proceedings initiated by the dismissed workers Mr. Porfirio Beitia, Mr. Francisco López, Mr. Eugenio Rivas, Mr. Julio Trejos and Mr. Darío Ulate, and the fund to compensate those workers who cannot be reinstated (the enterprise is facing a judicial process of forced liquidation) [see 326th Report, paras. 124-126].
2. 60. In its communication of 1 March 2002, the Government sent information and documents, according to which the complaint presented by SUNTRACS to the Procurator-General of the Nation did not refer to the alleged raid on the trade union’s headquarters, nor to the alleged ill-treatment inflicted on workers during their detention.
3. 61. The Committee notes this information. The Committee recalls that the Government had requested the Procurator-General of the Nation to carry out investigations into the allegations of a raid on SUNTRACS headquarters and ill-treatment suffered by unionists during their detention, and requests the Government to ensure that this investigation is carried out quickly, and to keep it informed of the results thereof. The Committee also requests the Government to keep it informed of the judicial proceedings concerning the dismissal of the five aforementioned workers, and of the fund to compensate the Aribesa workers who cannot be reinstated.
