The Reporting Procedure 4 In line with the foregoing, the report of a State party to any Treaty Body, irrespective of the reporting procedure under which such a report is submitted (Standard or Simplified) comprises two distinct but complementary documents, namely: The Common Core Document (CCD) + the Treaty-Specific Report (initial or periodic) The CCD and treaty-specific reports should elaborate on the de jure and de facto situation regarding implementation of the provisions of the treaties to which States are party. Reports should not be confined to lists of descriptions of legal instruments adopted in the country concerned in recent years, but should indicate how those legal instruments are reflected in the actual political, economic, social and cultural realities and general conditions of the country. They should provide evidencebased analysis supported by relevant statistical indicators and data, disaggregated by sex, age and population groups that may be more vulnerable, marginalized or at risk of discrimination. While statistics tables can usefully be annexed to the report, related analysis should be integrated into the main text. Such information should allow comparison over time and should indicate data sources. States should endeavour to analyse this information insofar as it is relevant to implementation of treaty obligations. The Common Core Document (CCD) provides information of a general factual nature relating to the implementation of all treaties to which the reporting State is a party and which may be of relevance to all or several Treaty Bodies.30 It constitutes the common initial part of all State reports to the Treaty Bodies. Its aim is to avoid unnecessary duplication of information among the various reporting obligations of State parties. It should contain general information on the reporting State, for example on land, population and political structure; on the general framework for the protection and promotion of human rights; and on non-discrimination and equality issues, including effective remedies. The information submitted should take into consideration the list of indicators on the political system as well as on crime and administration of justice as provided in Annex 3 of the afore-mentioned Harmonized Guidelines on reporting under the international human rights treaties. The suggested structure for a Common Core Document is outlined below. 30 Since the adoption of the revised guidelines on the common core document in 2006, 92 State parties had submitted a common core document.
