Would this include allowing human rights activitists information on the whereabouts and condition of the detained individuals? For example, could various Red Cross / Red Crecent societies be informed? [/quote]
You know, now I look at it, I think 'to reveal' should possibly have been 'make public' instead (Christ, the grammar sucks!). Oops, I guess there's always something that escapes through the editing net. Thankfully, it's minor.
Anyway, I'd still interpret this to mean that the whereabouts of such an individual would be available to such organisations. If families would prefer the information not to made so available, I see the resolution allowing for governments to respect such a wish. I imagine this would be a rare occurrence, however.
