In addition to the documents listed in paragraph 38 above, the Committee had before it a note by the Secretary-General concerning initial reports of seven States parties due in 1991 (CAT/C/12). 43. The Committee was informed that. in addition to the three reports that were scheduled for consideration by the Committee at its sixth session (sect. IV, para. 51), the Secretary-General had received the initial reports of Belize (CAT/C/5/Add.25) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (CAT/C/9/Add.6). He had also received additional information from Egypt (CAT/C/5/Add.23) and Spain. that had been requested by the Committee at its second and fifth sessions, respectively, and the additional reports of Cameroon (CAT/C/5/Add.26), Ecuador (CAT/CI1IAdd.11) and Senegal* pursuant to rule 67, paragraph 2, of the rules of procedure of the Committee. 44.

In addition, a third reminder was sent to Denmark, Which had been requested by the Committee at its second session to provide additional information. 45. The Committee again requested the Secretary-General to continue sending reminders automatically to these States parties whose initial reports were more than 12 months overdue and subsequent reminders every six months. 46. The Committee also requested the Secretary-General to send reminders automatically every six months to those States parties which had been requested to furnish additional reports pursuant to rule 61, paragraph 2, of its rules of procedure and those States parties which had been requested to provide additional information. The Committee agreed that in the future, when it requested a State party, at the end of the consideration of its report, to submit an additional report under rule 61, paragraph 2, it should also decide whether or not the State party should be invited to send representatives to attend me9tings at which the Committee was to consider the additional report. 41. At its 83rd meeting, on 29 April 1991, the Committee explored possible ways to draw the attention of States parties to the importance of adequate and timely submission of their reports in fulfilment of their obligations under article 19 of the Convention. During the discussion various measures were considered, such as meetings of members of the Committee with representatives of States parties whose reports were overdue; technical assistance by members of the Committee to States parties in the prepazation of their reports, to be made available within the framework of the Programme of Advisory Services and Technical Assistance of the Centre for Human Rights: and visits of members of the Committee to States parties whose Governments would specifically request their advice and assistance for the preparation of their reports. It was also suggested that, where States parties were three years late in submitting their reports, the Committee would examine the implementation of the Convention in that State party on the basis of such information as it had available to it. The Committee decided to resume discussion on this issue at its seventh -10-
