ANNEX IV
Recommendations of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights * on reform of the treaty body system and the Secretary-General’s proposals
A single consolidated report on all human rights treaties
1.The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has come to a consensus that the Secretary-General’s proposala of having a single consolidated report on all human rights treaties would not be the appropriate manner of addressing the problems presently faced by the treaty system and the States parties to the various human rights instruments at this time.
2.Some of the Committee’s objections are, inter alia, that in a single report important treaty-specific issues could be neglected or marginalized and that such a report would fail to comprise the level of detail presently encountered in reports received by specific committees. The adoption of a single report might furthermore give rise to legal difficulties regarding the individual treaties, which are not easily overcome. In addition, the Committee is concerned that the length of such a single report, were it to cover adequately all substantive issues under all human rights treaties, would be unmanageable for treaty bodies and pose challenges to the secretariat including with respect to processing and translation. These objections concur with some of the objections enumerated in the secretariat’s background note on the Secretary‑General’s proposals on the reform of the treaty body system.
3.Although the idea of a single report is not supported by the Committee, it would merit consideration in the long term, were the United Nations to consider moving towards a mechanism consisting of one single committee for monitoring State compliance with respect to all human rights instruments, which would meet on a permanent basis.
Expanded core document
4.An alternative suggestion that is feasible and viable in the short and midterm emerged from the deliberations, i.e. that the existing core document could be utilized in a more effective manner, and could be expanded to include information that is required under most or all human rights treaties, in addition to what is already required in the core document guidelines. Examples of such overlapping information concern the general human rights legal framework, the issue of non-discrimination and equality, and the situation of specific groups, in particular those which are vulnerable, marginalized or disadvantaged.
Periodic reports
5.As for the periodic reports, the Committee is of the opinion that these should remain treaty-specific, as they would be the primary means of guarding against the objection mentioned above of marginalization of treaty-specific issues and the loss of valuable detailed information.
6.The Committee identified at least three types of information that could be included in the periodic reports:
(a)Follow-up to the previous concluding observations of a treaty body;
(b)Supplementary information to be provided on the basis of a list of issues or at the specific request of the Committee; and
(c)Information on new developments since the consideration of the previous report.
7.Such a structure of periodic reports would avoid repetitions and voluminous documents, which put a heavy burden on both States parties and the United Nations Secretariat.
Follow-up
8.With regard to the follow-up procedure, the Committee would like to explore specific suggestions to improve the present arrangements of the treaty bodies, such as the appointment of a rapporteur on follow-up to concluding observations (a practice adopted by the Committee on Human Rights).
Enhanced coordination and harmonization of working methods of treaty bodies
9.With regard to the Secretary-General’s proposal of adopting a more coordinated approach to their activities and standardizing their varied reporting requirements,a the Committee agrees that there is an urgent need for such coordination and harmonization of working methods. Various recommendations have been adopted to this end by the meetings of chairpersons of treaty bodies over the years, as well as having been the primary theme of discussion at the first Inter-Committee meeting held in June 2002.
10.The Committee wishes to draw particular attention to the report of the first Inter‑Committee meeting of the human rights treaty bodies, which contains valuable recommendations to the various actors in the United Nations treaty system. Specifically on the issue of cooperation between the treaty bodies, the Committee recalls and reaffirms the following recommendations adopted at the first Inter-Committee meeting:b
(a)Taking account of the universality, indivisibility and interdependence of human rights, treaty bodies should work together in a complementary way in order to underline the holistic nature of the human rights treaty framework;
(b)Treaty bodies should devise a framework to provide States parties whose reporting obligations under several human rights treaties are almost simultaneous with the option of staggering the dates of their appearance before the different treaty bodies;
(c)Treaty bodies should develop procedures for follow-up on concluding observations or comments.
11.The Committee expresses the hope that its aforementioned proposals on an expanded core document and the periodic reports will contribute to further deliberations on the harmonization of the various treaty reporting procedures.
