22.       At its thirty-third session, the Committee decided to send a letter to all States parties whose initial reports were due in 1994 (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Equatorial Guinea), requesting them to submit that report within one year. Should they not report within one year, the Committee would consider the situation of child rights in the State party in the absence of the initial report. As at 1 April 2004, the Committee had received the initial reports of Albania and Equatorial Guinea.
