Cmttee/ACRWC/II. Rev 2 Page 15 Rule 70: Specific provisions for reporting process The Committee shall lay down appropriate guidelines in order to avoid repetition between the reports to it and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and in order to encourage governments to fulfil their obligations towards both Committees while recognizing the specific nature of the specific provisions of the Children's Charter. The following shall be considered: a) If a State Party has already submitted an initial report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, whether that report has been reviewed by the UN Committee or not, the State Party may be invited to update the information already submitted and add information on the provisions specific to the Children's Charter. b) If a State Party's initial report has been reviewed by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the concluding observations and the recommendations may be considered by the Committee when preparing the list of issues for the governments and adopting its own concluding observations and recommendations. c) If a State Party has not yet submitted an initial report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the State Party shall be invited to prepare a complete report on all the provisions of the Children's Charter. d) For the review of a State Party's report, the Committee shall designate one of its experts as focal point. e) The establishment of modalities for cooperation between the Committee and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.
