CHAPTER IV: Consideration of reports submitted by States parties under articles 16 and 17 of the Covenant

...

Twenty-fourth session

...

72. In a note verbale dated 15 November 2000, the Permanent Mission of Yugoslavia to the United Nations Office at Geneva requested the Committee to postpone consideration of the third periodic report of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and at the same time informed the Committee of the intention of the Government of Yugoslavia to re-examine thoroughly all issues related to the implementation of the Covenant and to prepare a new report. Having considered this request, the Committee decided to have a preliminary discussion of the status of implementation of the Covenant in Yugoslavia, which took place at the 69th meeting of the Committee on 21 November 2000. The Committee, having considered and revised the list of agenda items (E/C.12/Q/YUG/1), agreed on a number of preliminary recommendations (see paras. 496-511 below) with a view to helping the State party fulfil its obligations under the Covenant and requested the State party to submit its report not later than 30 June 2002.
