CZECH REPUBLIC¹

REPORTING HISTORY

¹ Czechoslovakia had ratified CERD on 29 December 1966, CCPR on 23 December 1975, CCPR OP 1 on 12 March 1991, CESCR on 23 December 1975, CEDAW on 16 February 1982, CAT on 7 July 1988, CRC on 7 January 1991, and subsequently Czechoslovakia dissolved into the states of Czech Republic and Slovakia. In a letter dated 16 February 1993, the Government of the Czech Republic, as a successor state, notified the Secretary-General that it considered itself bound, as of 1 January 1993, i.e., the date of dissolution of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, by multilateral international treaties to which the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic was a party on that date.

² At its 4^th session, from 15 January to 2 February 1990, the Committee adopted a new reporting schedule, as approved by ECOSOC in its Resolution 1988/4 of 24 May 1988, to take effect from 30 June 1990. The new reporting schedule had the result of consolidating the procedure of reporting so that three reports for three different sets of articles in the Convention was no longer required. In the case of those states which had submitted initial or periodic reports on only one or two of the three distinct sets of articles, consolidation of the reporting procedure did not eliminate responsibility to submit a further initial or periodic report which would cover the articles missing in previous reports. Hence, the post 1990 reporting schedule might require a further "initial" or similar numbered periodic report.

³ This report was submitted to and considered by the Economic and Social Council prior to the creation of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which began to consider reports in 1987. Further information is unavailable.

⁴ The date of submission is not available.

⁵ In its concluding observations adopted on 15 May 2002, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights requested that the second periodic report be submitted by 30 June 2007.
