III. Report of the Working Group
8.
The Working Group shall prepare a factual report of its proceedings, consisting of a
summary of the interactive dialogue, which will reflect recommendations and/or conclusions
made by delegations during the interactive dialogue.
9.
The report of the Working Group shall be prepared by the troika by fully involving the
State under review and with the assistance of the Secretariat.
10. The State under review is expected to examine all recommendations made, in accordance
with the provisions of the annex to Council resolution 5/1. In all cases, the recommendations that
enjoy the support of the State under review are to be identified as such. Other recommendations,
together with the comments of the State under review, are to be noted. Both will be included in
the report of the Working Group, to be adopted by the Council at its plenary session. The State
under review is expected to follow up on the recommendations that enjoy its support as well as
on voluntary commitments and pledges.
11. The State under review will inform the Council about its views concerning the
recommendations and/or conclusions as well as voluntary commitments/pledges whenever it is
in a position to do so, during the meeting of the Working Group, or between the session of the
Working Group and the next session of the Council, or during the meeting of the Council at its
plenary session.
IV. Modalities at the plenary session
12. The review process starts at Working Group level and ends with the adoption of the
outcome of the review by the Council at its plenary session.
13. The report of the Working Group, together with the views of the State under review
concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, as well as voluntary commitments made by
the State under review and replies presented by the State under review before the adoption of the
outcome by the Council at its plenary session to questions or issues that were not sufficiently
addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group, will constitute the outcome of
the review, which shall be adopted by the Council at its plenary session through a standardized
decision.
14. A summary of the views expressed on the outcome of the review by the State under review
and of Member and Observer States of the Council, as well as general comments made by other
relevant stakeholders before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary, will be included in the
report of the Council session.
V. General modalities
15. Only the three documents mentioned in paragraph 15 of the annex to Council
resolution 5/1 as constituting the basis of the review will be posted on the Extranet.
16. The Council will consider favourably the adoption of a decision on the webcasting of all
public proceedings of its various working groups, taking into account the principles of
transparency, equal treatment and non-selectivity.
