The Reporting Procedure 4 significantly different impact on the various groups, the report should provide information explaining the reasons for such differences and provide details on any measures taken to address them. TIP ÎÎThe Treaty Bodies regularly require disaggregated statistics and data to measure implementation of the rights stipulated in the treaties. The Treaty Bodies look at the “small numbers”. For example, when 96% of girls between the ages of 6-10 years attend primary school, the Treaty Body will wish to know why 4% do not. Recommendations from Treaty Bodies, Special Rapporteurs and the Universal Periodic Review mechanism have referred to the guidance published by OHCHR on human rights indicators and data. This guidance helps national stakeholders develop and use relevant indicators to inform and measure implementation of recommendations and facilitate the integration of human rights norms and principles, such as participation, data disaggregation, privacy, self-identification, transparency and accountability, into data collection and analysis. Please refer to OHCHR publications: Human Rights Indicators, A Guide to Measurement and Implementation34 and Human Rights-Based Approach to Data35 for more information. v. Coordinating with and consulting relevant stakeholders The draft report should be circulated to the relevant government entities to ensure that it coherently reflects their position. The individual components of the report should be discussed as widely as possible among the relevant government agencies, and especially among the officials in charge of specific sectors, to ensure the completeness and correctness of the final report. The Government can establish a standing procedure for interaction with parliament, including informing parliament on the reporting and review process, submission of draft reports for comments, and forwarding of recommendations following review of the report by a Treaty Body. The State party should also consider ways of circulation the draft to stakeholders outside the State bodies. In many cases States hold a public consultation on the draft report and invite relevant stakeholders – including national human rights institutions, civil society organizations and other stakeholders – to give their feedback on a draft report. Although such a process entails an investment in time, it will contribute to raising awareness among the general public regarding the State’s obligations under the international human rights treaties and in the light of the human rights situation in the country. It can also contribute to making the preparation process transparent and participatory. Information technology could be used to reach out to a wider public. Some States post their draft report on the Internet for a fixed period of time and invite all relevant stakeholders, including governmental agencies, NHRIs, civil society and the general public, to comment on the draft. Later they also post a compilation of comments made by the public and a revised draft on the webpage to demonstrate how the comments have been considered and incorporated into the final report. 34 http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Indicators/Pages/documents.aspx 35 http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/HRIndicators/GuidanceNoteonApproachtoData.pdf 47
