auspices of UNDP at law schools and police stations. With the help of the Governments of Canada and the Netherlands, training had been provided for municipal officers. Under Act No. 03 of 1990, each town hall in Colombia now E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/SR.26 page 17 had a representative for the defence of the human rights of the local citizens, one of whose functions was to receive complaints about human rights violations. The human rights representative had access to all State bodies in his area, had to be notified within 24 hours of any arrest, detention or raid carried out in that area, and was empowered to take legal action when necessary. 102. Mrs. KSENTINI drew the Sub-Commission's attention to two very important cases of detention. The first was at the El-Khiam camp in Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon. Most participants would have received the letter from the Permanent Mission of Lebanon (E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/55) according to which many of the detainees were being tortured and one had been killed after having been held since 1985. The International Committee of the Red Cross was not allowed to visit the camp. She requested that the Sub-Commission should appeal to the occupation authorities to allow humanitarian organizations to visit the camp. 103. The second case concerned three Palestinians who were due to participate in a very important international NGO conference on Palestine opening on 27 August 1990 and who were being prevented from leaving for it. She requested the Sub-Commission to appeal to the Israeli authorities to allow them to participate in the Conference. 104. The CHAIRMAN said that, in the absence of any objection, he would take it that the Sub-Commission would make the appropriate appeals. Mrs. Ksentini would no doubt transmit the relevant details to him. 105. It was so agreed.
