The List of Issues will then be sent to the State, which will be given a specific deadline to prepare and submit a "focused report" responding to the List of Issues. This report will be examined as usual before the Committee, normally no later than one year after their submission.
NGO information on these States should be submitted (at least in electronic form) ideally by the end of April 2012 and by 15 June 2012 in hardcopy. For further information on how to send information click here
