<p>&lt;table id=&quot;remedy-table&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;07/2013 01/2014&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;The agreement reached between the author and the State party in October 2009 has yet to be implemented. A letter received from the Government informed the author that he had to &amp;#39;exhaust domestic legal processes&amp;#39;. The State party thereby implies the commencement of the communication de novo (from the beginning) and refuses to comply with the Views.&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;</p>
