The UN says it will evaluate and refer to a competent authority, which includes the International Criminal Court, any claims of enforced disappearances if there are legitimate grounds for concern.
This after the National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) approached the UN Working Group last year to hold the Namibian Government answerable for the mass graves it discovered in September 2008.
The Namibian reports that NSHR claimed it had found several mass graves a few kilometres north of the Namibian border in southern Angola and that such graves were of Namibian and Angolan nationals buried between 1999 and 2002. The human rights group claimed that those buried were rebels and supporters of the Angolan Unita rebel movement who were hunted by soldiers of the Namibian and Angolan armies.
