During its thirty-fourth session, the Committee, through its Special Rapporteur on
follow-up to decisions, decided that in cases in which it had found violations of the Convention,
including Decisions made by the Committee prior to the establishment of the follow-up
procedure, the States parties should be requested to provide information on all measures taken by
them to implement the Committee’s Decisions.

In a follow-up report presented to the Committee during the thirty-fifth session, the
Special Rapporteur on follow-up to decisions provided information received from four States

Switzerland; and Sweden. The following countries did not respond to the request: Austria;
Canada (with respect to Tahir Hussain Khan, 15/1994); the Netherlands; Spain; and Serbia and
Montenegro (in relation to 161/2000, Hajrizi Dzemajl, 171/2000, Dimitrov, and 207/2002,
Dragan Dimitrijevic).
