The same requirements apply to countries in the rest of the world, adapted to local geographical and political conditions and with poverty alleviation and sustainable development as main goals. An important guideline for KS’ international cooperation activities is that the partner institution or organisation shall decide their own priorities for the cooperation with KS. Mutual exchange of experiences and exposure to Norwe- gian local government are of help in the process of ma- king these priorities. Direct contact between the partners creates a better understanding on both sides.

The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

    ADC Memorial Brussels Rue d’Edimbourg 26 1050 Ixelles, Belgium adcmemorial.org Parallel Information to the Russian Federation’s Report on Implementation of the Recommendations Contained in the Concluding Observations of the Committee Against Torture on the Basis of its Review of the Russian Federation’s Sixth Periodic Report on its Implementation of the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment for the UN Committee Against Torture November 2019 ADC Memorial and former members of the Public Oversight Commission of Saint Petersburg (who were on the POC from 2016 to 2019) have prepared parallel information to the Russian Federation’s report on implementation of the recommendations contained in the Concluding Observations of the Committee Against Torture (CAT) on the basis of its review of the Russian Federation’s sixth periodic report on its implementation of the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The Russian Federation’s report contains inaccurate information about its implementation of the Concluding Observations of UN CAT. In particular, the country continues to lack prompt, impartial and effective investigation into cases of torture and cruel treatment and dismisses such allegations during the pre-investigative stage, which does not lead to the opening of criminal cases or the prosecution of the perpetrators (para. 15(a)(b) of the observations). This report is based on materials collected by the members of Public Oversight Commission (POC) - Yana Tseplitskaya and Ekaterina Kosarevskaya - on the failure to investigate cases of torture from June 2018 to October 2019. The Investigative Committee, which, according to paragraph 15(c) of the Concluding Observations, is responsible for investigating crimes committed by law enforcement officials, continues to systematically refuse to open criminal investigation on torture.
