REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part II — Notes for Facilitators comment. Repeat this procedure until all the work done has been presented. Each debrief should not exceed 5 minutes (total of 25 minutes). c) Provide overall feedback on the groups’ presentations in no more than 5 minutes. Key messages can include: üü The next steps in the preparation of the report (i.e. including national actors in the drafting of the report, who initially might not have come to mind, e.g., National Statistics Office or lead focal point/Ministry for Sustainable Development Goals implementation); gathering the information and collecting the data identified in the outline; analysing and drafting the report; consultations with national human rights institutions and civil society including the most marginalized groups; finalizing and endorsing the report; and finally submission to the relevant Treaty Body). TIP ÎÎWatch that this does not become too long and boring. • You can consider allowing participants to take a short (maximum 5 minutes) coffee break before the debriefing. Step 4: Wrap-up  Duration 15 minutes a) Wrap-up the session by asking participants to share one idea which, in their view, responds to the question of what they think constitutes a good report? (10 minutes). b) Complete participants’ views, as needed, with the following non-exhaustive suggestions on what can constitute a good report: üü adherence to the reporting guidelines; üü inclusion of information on the implementation of the previous concluding observations (periodic reports); and on the follow-up to the decisions and views of the relevant Committee, if applicable; üü inclusion, as much as possible, of disaggregated statistics; üü well-structured numbering of paragraphs, respecting word limits; üü concise and candid presentation of the information; üü evidence that it has created State ownership and is the result of broad consultations with national human rights institutions and CSOs. TIP 46 ÎÎAdditionally, in treaty-specific training courses at national level you can include a second group activity focused on ‘planning and organizing the preparation of the report’, in which participants will develop a roadmap for preparation of the State party report. See for example, step 4 of Session 1.2 (bis).
