DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

REPORTING HISTORY

¹ 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.

² Previously, the State party submitted a third periodic report on 13 November 2006. In a letter dated 18 May 2007, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights requested that the State party submit a revised report, prepared in conformity with the reporting guidelines (see E/C.12/39/2, page 10).

³ In its concluding observations adopted on 19 November 2010, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights requested that the fourth periodic report be submitted by 30 June 2015.
