REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part I — Manual LOIPR is prepared on the basis of the previous concluding observations to the State party by the Treaty Body concerned. However, Treaty Bodies avail themselves of other sources of information during the preparation of the LOIPR, with the aim of better identifying priority human rights areas of concern relating to implementation of the treaty. This can include recommendations made by other Treaty Bodies, recommendations made during the UPR and under the Special Procedures; relevant reports and documentation from the United Nations system and regional human rights mechanisms, where applicable; and information provided to the Treaty Body by United Nations entities, national human rights institutions (NHRIs), civil society organizations (CSOs) and other stakeholders. The Committee against Torture and the Human Rights Committee have developed an outline of the LOIPR used by them (available at https://goo.gl/HQeIaw), and the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have adopted specific guidelines for State parties on the SRP (available at https://goo.gl/biIsOc). The same format for reports under the Standard Reporting Procedure applies to the reports under a simplified procedure, in particular the 21,200 word limit for periodic reports. Simplified Reporting Procedure Word limits: ¡¡ Initial reports: 31,800 words ¡¡ Periodic reports: 21,200 words Below are samples of an outline of a LOIPR from the Human Rights Committee and the Committee against Torture: TABLE 7 THE OUTLINE OF A LIST OF ISSUES PRIOR TO REPORTING (HRCTTEE) General information on the national human rights situation • Please provide detailed information on any significant developments in the legal and institutional framework within which human rights are promoted and protected at national level that have taken place since the previous periodic report, including any relevant case law.
