REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part I — Manual the concluding observations, which will be more targeted, precise and implementable, and therefore easier to follow-up by State parties. Many State parties which used the SRP have indicated that they found it more helpful to reply to a set of focused and concrete questions than to provide information on all aspects of a treaty as requested under the Treaty Bodies’ specific guidelines under the Standard Reporting Procedure. Some State parties have requested the Simplified Reporting Procedure for all their reporting obligations. For Treaty Bodies the SRP streamlines and enhances the State party review by rendering it more focused and effective as it allows them to conduct a more targeted analysis of human rights concerns through the LOIPR. In addition, the constructive dialogue is facilitated by the receipt of a more focused State party report that contains precise information. This procedure further allows them to re-engage with State parties that are long overdue in submitting their periodic reports and it also strengthens their ability to follow-up on previous concluding observations. 62
