At its meeting on 5 March 2020, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, having noted the request for discontinuance made by the State party, and that the author had not submitted the documentation requested on numerous occasions by the Committee or claimed that she was unable to provide it, took the view that this suggested a lack of interest in the proceedings on her part and decided to discontinue its consideration of communication No. 75/2018, in accordance with article 17 of its provisional rules of procedure under the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
