GUIDELINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOW-UP
TO THE COUNTRY VISITS OF THE SPECIAL RAPPORTUER ON THE QUESTION
OF TORTURE
1. In its resolution 2004/41, the Commission on Human Rights urged all Governments to enter
into a constructive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on torture with respect to the follow-up
to his recommendations, so as to enable him to fulfil his mandate more effectively (para. 34).
Information would be requested on the consideration given to the recommendations, the steps
taken to implement them, and any constraints which may prevent their implementation.
2. To obtain a comprehensive picture, the Special Rapporteur welcomes written information
from international, regional, national and local organizations regarding measures taken to follow
up the recommendations. The Special Rapporteur encourages information submitted through
national coalitions or committees.
3. For a given country visit report, written information regarding follow-up measures to each of
the recommendations should be submitted to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human
Rights. Submissions should not exceed 10 pages in length. Submissions from non-State sources
should be submitted by 1 September. A summary of the content of the submissions from nonState sources will be forwarded to the concerned State upon receipt. Submissions are requested
from States by 1 November.
4. Based on the written information submitted, the Special Rapporteur will include this in the
addenda on the follow-up to country visits of the report to the sixty-second session of the
Commission on Human Rights.
