As previously briefly explained, the Simplified Reporting Procedure abolishes one step of the reporting cycle under the Standard Reporting Procedure, namely the written replies of the State party to the List of Issues transmitted once a State party report has been submitted. Under the SRP the reporting cycle starts when the relevant Treaty Body sends a List of Issues prior to Reporting (LOIPR) to a State party (see Figure 2, The Simplified Reporting Procedure). This means that under the SRP and in line with the harmonized guidelines on reporting (see Section 4.1.2, Content of Reports), the State party report is made up of the replies of the State party to the LOIPR, together with the common core document. The State party report under the Simplified Reporting Procedure Replies of the State party to the LOIPR (treaty-specific report) + Common Core Document The aim of a LOIPR is to provide an outline for the review of a State party so as to make it more focused and effective. In general, a LOIPR requests that State parties provide information on a) the follow-up and implementation of the previous concluding observations of the relevant Treaty Body; b) the adoption of other measures and recent developments relating to implementation of the treaty; and c) specific human rights issues identified by the Treaty Body and relating to implementation of the relevant treaty. As a result, treaty-specific reports under the Simplified Reporting Procedure are rather more straightforward in terms of the information that State parties should include than are reports submitted under the Standard Reporting Procedure. 59
