UN special rapporteur on torture Nils Melzer underlined the importance of establishing facts before making conclusions in the case of the missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, while speaking to reporters in New York City on Tuesday.
"I think we are a little bit early in the process to come to a definite conclusion there because, obviously, this is a very delicate issue," he said.
Referring to Saudi Arabia and Turkey, Melzer added: "We should give the involved states time, under public scrutiny, to come to a conclusion on how they want to address this problem."
At the same time, the official pointed out that "if no solution can be found in conducting a credible and objective investigation on that level, then perhaps at some point international mechanisms should get involved."
