CAT/OP/24/1 has received appropriate assurances, supported by practical measures and methodologies, that no further obstacles will be encountered in fulfilling its mandate. 5. Should the State party either refuse to cooperate with the Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture in seeking to address the obstacles and difficulties faced, or be unable to provide it with sufficient assurances that it will be able to properly fulfil its Convention mandate, or if the Subcommittee again faces obstacles, it may choose to use all appropriate measures to address the lack of cooperation. Such measures include termination of the visit, issuance of a formal public statement and release of the Subcommittee’s preliminary findings, as provided for in article 16, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol, as well as utilizing all possible good offices within the United Nations system and any other appropriate forums. 2
