decisions by sending notes verbales to States parties enquiring about measures adopted
pursuant to the Committee’s decisions; recommending to the Committee appropriate action
upon the receipt of responses from States parties, in situations of non-response, and upon
the receipt henceforth of all letters from complainants concerning non-implementation of
the Committee’s decisions; meeting with representatives of the permanent missions of
States parties to encourage compliance and to determine whether advisory services or
technical assistance by OHCHR would be appropriate or desirable; conducting with the
approval of the Committee follow-up visits to States parties; and preparing periodic reports
for the Committee on his or her activities.
