• National human rights institutions should, at a minimum, review State reports to ensure that representations made concerning their work or their findings are accurately portrayed. Others may be used as a coordinating point through which information from various ministries, departments and organizations is channeled. In the latter case, an NHRI itself may be entrusted with compiling a draft report, which would then be submitted to the relevant authorities for review. In this case it is important to keep in mind that the obligation to report is a State responsibility and the report that is presented to the expert committee is a State report.
