A/HRC/4/84 page 2 Summary The Human Rights Council, by its decision 2/102 of 6 October 2006, requested the High Commissioner for Human Rights to “continue with the fulfilment of her activities, in accordance with all previous decisions adopted by the Commission on Human Rights and to update the relevant reports and studies”. On the current issue of impunity, a comprehensive annual report (E/CN.4/2006/93) was submitted to the sixty-second session of the Commission on Human Rights pursuant to its resolution 2005/81. The information in the report remains relevant. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights understands decision 2/102 as preserving the previous annual reporting cycle in respect of this issue until otherwise decided by the Council. The current report to the Human Rights Council accordingly addresses developments in respect of impunity over the last year. In this respect, the present report provides a short update on notable examples of State practice relevant to combating impunity, where the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights played a supporting role. Also relevant for combating impunity has been the commencement of the operations of the International Criminal Court. The report is not intended as an exhaustive account of developments relevant to combating impunity, and there is a scope for documenting examples of other cases of practice and jurisprudence, as such situations evolve in the future.
