REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part I — Manual A documentation and data management system or centre may include the following types of information: ¡¡ the international and regional human rights instruments to which the State is a party; ¡¡ previous reports to international and regional human rights mechanisms; ¡¡ laws, policies and programmes relevant to international and regional human rights instruments; ¡¡ relevant reports for the State party produced by the international, regional and national organizations, including the UN and academic and research institutions; ¡¡ relevant reports from other stakeholders (CSOs, NHRIs); ¡¡ relevant statistical data and information; ¡¡ an implementation plan tracking implementation of recommendations from all human rights mechanisms including in the context of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development). iv. Analysing data and drafting the report Once the necessary information for a given report has been gathered, the drafting group will begin analysing the information and writing the report. First the drafters should review laws, policies and practice to examine the extent to which they address the issues which are the subject of the report in compliance with the treaty provisions. This should go beyond merely listing the legislation, policies and programmes that the State party has adopted; the report should provide information on the impact of such measures. This means that a comprehensive review of the measures in place to implement the provisions of the relevant human rights treaty (e.g., harmonization of legislation; policies and programmes aimed for example at reducing maternal mortality or improving the conditions of detainees; availability of effective remedies for victims of human rights violations; etc.) should be undertaken with the aim of identifying achievements but also challenges and gaps in implementation. In the case of periodic reports, drafters should ensure that they analyse the measures undertaken by the State party to implement previous concluding observations. In so doing, the drafting group should look up additional data, including studies, surveys and statistics, and analyse them in such a way as to back up the legal and policy analysis with facts and figures that reflect the current situation with respect to implementation of the human rights stipulated in a treaty32. The data collected should not simply be reproduced, but be analysed with reference to the provisions of the treaty in order to identify the extent to which they are being implemented and also reveal the challenges33. When analysing the legislation, policies and programmes with a view to assessing the level and extent of implementation of a treaty and previous concluding observations, drafters should also pay careful attention to the various gender-related impacts of such measures as well as their impact on different groups such as persons with disabilities, migrants, indigenous people and minorities, asylum seekers and refugees. It is essential that statistics and data are disaggregated by various categories such as sex, age, ethnicity, migration, displacement status, disability, religion, civil status, income, sexual orientation and gender identity.
