preparations for a ceremony of public apology have been made and the

in close consultation with the representatives of the surviving relatives” and “in
accordance with the Auka culture the public apology will be accompanied by
rituals and ceremonies”; and
regarding the recovery of the remains of the victims for delivery to the
surviving community, “the data mentioned in the Judgement cannot be
completely confirmed by the persons involved.” Consultations to relevant
entities and persons are being conducted, however “[t]he information must be
qualified as: fragmented and contradictory. To fill these gaps the Working
Group is collecting additional data.”
