See for instance, the report of the Special Rapporteur on Torture submitted to the Commission
on Human Rights at its fifty-third session (E/CN.4/1997/7, para. 6); concluding observations of
the Committee against Torture on the initial periodic report of Saudi Arabia, 12 June 2002
(CAT/C/CR/28/5, para. 4 (b)); report of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its
causes and consequences, submitted to the Commission on Human Rights at its fifty-ninth
session (E/CN.4/2003/75. para. 68) and (E/CN.4/2003/75/Add.1, para. 460).

The Special Rapporteur emphasizes in this regard that she does not wish to make a distinction

See, for instance, E/CN.4/2003/75, para. 68.

See the interim report of the Special Reporter on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary

See E/CN.4/2001/63, para. 104. While the communication of the Special Rapporteur

of persons killed certainly exceeded 2,000.

See A/58/296, para. 80. Idem for the number of casualties which should rather be estimated
at 250.

See the addendum to the report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief
(E/CN.4/2005/61/Add.1, para. 174).
