Assessment of the procedure on follow-up to concluding observations

At its forty-first session, held in July 2008, the Committee decided to introduce a follow-up procedure whereby the State party is requested to follow up on recommendations identified by the Committee as follow-up items. The request, based on article 18, paragraph 1 (b), of the Convention, would call on States parties to provide such information to the Committee within one or two years, depending on the urgency of the situation.
