57. At its eighty-third session, the Committee examined the situation of civil and political rights in Barbados, in the absence of a report but with the presence of a delegation, which pledged to submit a full report. Provisional concluding observations were sent to the State party. On 18 July 2006, Barbados submitted its third periodic report. As Nicaragua had not submitted its third periodic report, due on 11 June 1997, the Committee decided, at its eighty-third session, to consider the situation of civil and political rights in Nicaragua at its eighty-fifth session (October 2005). On 9 June 2005, Nicaragua made assurances to the Committee that it would submit its report by 31 December 2005. Then on 17 October 2005, Nicaragua informed the Committee that it would submit its report by 30 September 2006. At its eighty-fifth session (October 2006), the Committee requested Nicaragua to submit its report by 30 June 2006.
