8. 委员会回顾其判例，其中规定《公约》第三十九条第 2 款授权委员会制定自己的议事规则，根据《公约》第三十九条通过的议事规则第 92 条规定的临时措施对于委员会根据《任择议定书》行使职能至关重要，其目的是避免据称违反《公约》的行为对受害者造成不可弥补的损害。无视这一规则，特别是采取不可逆转的措施，如在委员会结束对其来文的审议之前处决被判死刑的个人，损害了对《公约》权利的保护，严重违反了《任择议定书》。
8. The Committee recalls its jurisprudence providing that article 39 (2) of the Covenant authorizes it to establish its own rules of procedure, and that interim measures under rule 92 of its rules of procedure, adopted in accordance with article 39 of the Covenant, are essential to its role under the Optional Protocol in order to avoid irreparable damage to the victim of an alleged violation of the Covenant. Flouting of that rule, especially by irreversible measures, such as the execution of individuals sentenced to death before the Committee has concluded its consideration of their communications, compromises the protection of Covenant rights and constitutes a serious violation of the Optional Protocol.
