The Group visited Drapchi on 11 October 1997.

The Security Council undertook its mission to Haiti in conjunction with the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti of the Economic and Social Council, which visited Haiti from 12 to 16 April.

During the visits, the groups, consisting of 15 persons each, visited the cemetery where the Argentine casualties are buried and attended religious services.

All the States neighbouring Côte d'Ivoire were visited and the Group visited Côte d'Ivoire three times during its mandate.

2. The visit was in follow up to a preparatory mission of five days carried out in July 1996 by Mr. Joinet, the former Chairman of the Group, during which he met with officials, visited a prison in Beijing and a re education through labour centre in Shandung province and agreed upon modalities for a future visit by the Working Group (see E CN.4 1997 4, paras. 23 35).

A technical mission to restore a church in Prizren, supported by UNESCO, took place just a few weeks ago, and more will now follow.

The visit to Haiti was made in conjunction with a visit by the Economic and Social Council's Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti.

Dangerous road conditions prevented Team 4 from visiting those places.

The projections had been revised before the team apos s visit.

The Executive Directorate will coordinate with the Monitoring Team in preparation for Executive Directorate visits, invite its members, as appropriate, to participate in these visits and seek to develop broad based conclusions emanating therefrom.

The Chinese authorities having agreed in principle to such a visit, the Working Group started conveying to the authorities its expectations as to the modalities of the visit and the possible detention facilities that the Group might wish to visit.

This handicapped to some extent the work of the Group and much of the information received and incorporated in the present report is based on the inquiries made by the Group during the visit and documents procured by the Group subsequent to the visit.

In June 2005, the Working Group conducted its first country visit.

The Panel last visited the area in February 2005.

101. The authorities approached the visit of the Working Group in a spirit of openness and understanding, enabling the Group to visit centres of detention two of which had never been visited by any similar outside agency.
