A/75/44 Annex III Measures for focusing the dialogue with States parties 1. The Committee against Torture will make efforts to ensure that dialogues with and recommendations for States parties are more focused and coordinated with other treaty body reviews. To that end, the Committee will implement the steps listed below, to be followed for the sixty-ninth session, on a pilot basis. Coordination of lists of issues prior to reporting 2. When lists of issues prior to reporting are drafted, the country rapporteurs are to be provided with the lists of issues prior to reporting issued by other treaty bodies for the same State party within the last year. This will allow the country rapporteurs to decide how to coordinate possible overlapping topics in the Committee against Torture lists of issues prior to reporting, for instance by deleting, adapting or reinforcing such topics. Hereafter, draft lists of issues prior to reporting will be sent to rapporteurs in the other relevant treaty bodies with a five-day deadline for comments. Focusing of lists of issues prior to reporting 3. Lists of issues prior to reporting may be focused by means of setting a maximum number of questions. This will inevitably imply that some topics will have to be sacrificed. Establishing a limited number of questions will likely force both the secretariat and the Committee members to apply stricter prioritization and to use more precise language. It is suggested that the number of questions be limited to 25 to 30. Coordination of concluding observations 4. In the country index provided by the secretariat, references are to be given to the most recent concluding observations issued by other treaty bodies. When drafting concluding observations for the Committee against Torture, the secretariat will make comparisons, highlighting possible overlapping topics. Country rapporteurs of the Committee against Torture process such topics by deleting, adapting or reinforcing the concluding observations, as appropriate. Focusing of concluding observations 5. The formulation of more specific recommendations is encouraged, which provides better guidance to States parties in terms of how to implement those recommendations. To further this objective, the secretariat and the Chair of the Committee will collect illustrative examples of recommendations used in previous concluding observations. 16
