COUNTRY REPORTS

At each session of the Committee, Child Rights Connect monitors the examination of reports by the Committee in presence of the governments in order to produce country reports on the discussions. These reports allow NGOs from the country concerned as well as the broader child rights community who are unable to travel to Geneva to receive unofficial summaries of the dialogue months before the official summary records become available.

62nd Session Country Reports (14 January - 1 February 2013)

The 62nd session of the Committee on the Rights of the Child featured a series of interesting discussions, with eight countries being reviewed for their progress in implementation of the CRC and/or the Optional Protocols.

The following country reports, which were produced by Child Rights Connect, provide an unofficial account of the dialogue between the Committee and the State delegation and attempt to capture the key issues raised by the Committee, along with the corresponding responses by the State under review.

Full documentation for the 62nd session, including information on the delegation that attended on behalf of each State, is available on the website of the Committee.
