43 Pre-sessional workload All treaty body members read and analyse the country files for each State party to be reviewed at the next session. Members who are serving as rapporteurs or task force members will also need to familiarize themselves with any other information from the United Nations, NGOs, NHRIs or any other individual or organization that submits information. Where relevant, experts should also familiarize themselves with draft individual communications and other documents to be considered during forthcoming sessions. Members are also responsible for presenting draft documents (lists of issues, draft views on individual communications and so on) to the treaty body for consideration and adoption. In-session workload At any session, a treaty body will review 5 to 10 State party reports—sometimes more. This requires a considerable amount of time for reading. Members also attend and participate in the constructive dialogues with States parties, as appropriate. Additionally, there are frequent meetings regarding other areas of work undertaken by the treaty body. This includes work in relation to its general comments or recommendations, days of general discussion, statements and so on. These meetings may take place outside the treaty body’s official meeting hours. Intersessional workload In addition, members have responsibilities in between sessions. For example, members organize travel and visas to attend sessions (see chap. V), and the United Nations requires members to take certain mandatory online training courses (e.g., security training). For treaty bodies that carry out inquiries and visits, members prepare for visits in between sessions, including reading background documents and undertaking administrative preparations (travel arrangements, visas, etc.). Members set aside approximately two weeks for each visit. Visits are very intensive, with many meetings and often much internal travel (sometimes in challenging conditions). At times, States parties seek to change the dates of visits, which, if requested in good faith, may require a degree of flexibility on the part of members. Finally, members have to prepare a report on the visit as soon as possible after their return. While the secretariat generally compiles members’ notes in a preliminary draft report, members finalize the draft, which must be submitted for editing and translation in time for consideration by the treaty body at its next session. Treaty body members are sometimes invited to participate in various training workshops and academic seminars related to their respective treaties. On
