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

1. 46. The Committee last examined this case concerning, inter alia, the arrest and criminal prosecution of a representative of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) at its June 2013 meeting [see 368th Report, paras 672–886]. On that occasion, the Committee requested the Government to send it a copy of the sentence handed down to the WFTU’s coordinator, Mr Efraín Arteaga Domínguez, charged with a criminal attack on channels of communication.
2. 47. In its communication dated 23 September 2013, the Government reports that on 26 September 2012 a conciliation judgment was adopted in the Supervisory and Oral Proceeding Court of the Judicial District of Zacatecas, in which compensation agreements were drawn up, bringing the proceedings to an early close and dismissing the criminal action against Mr Efraín Arteaga Domínguez.
3. 48. Noting the dismissal of the criminal action against the WFTU’s coordinator, the Committee observes that there are no other outstanding issues and it will not continue examining this case.
