16 E.N.诉布隆迪，第 7.6 段。12 条，缔约国有义务在有合理理由认为发生了酷刑行为时，依职权立即进行公正的调查。17 因此，在本案中，委员会认为存在违反《公约》第 12 条的情况。
Prosecutor and reported the torture he had suffered before the judge at hearings on 25 June 2014 and 20 February 2015, no investigation has been conducted almost six years after the events. The Committee considers that so long a delay in initiating an investigation into allegations of torture is patently unjustified. In this regard, it draws attention to the State party’s obligation under article 12 of the Convention to ensure that its competent authorities proceed automatically to a prompt and impartial investigation wherever there is reasonable ground to believe that an act of torture has been committed.17 The Committee therefore finds a violation of article 12 of the Convention.
