The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) on Monday called on government to issue a white paper on the findings of the Volta Lake Boat Disaster Committee's enquiry submitted to the Ministry of Ports, Harbours & Railways in May last year.
A CHRI statement issued in Accra said a year had passed since the report was submitted and the government had shown no sign of producing a white paper on it.
"We feel that it is of crucial importance that a white paper is produced with all possible speed," the statement said, adding that many important issues needed to be resolved.
"There are, for instance, no confirmed numbers for those who have died".
The CHRI said it expected the government to show how it will prevent any similar tragedy from occurring in the future.
