− Wider distribution and greater knowledge of the Sub-Committee recommendations by
NHRIs and other stakeholders, so that they can play a proactive role in the context of
follow-up action by the United Nations or NHRI regional coordinating bodies in the
concerned country. The Sub-Committee reports are also posted on the Internet
(www.nhri.net).
III. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
11. Following the practice initiated at its meeting in October 2006, the Sub-Committee
continued to make general observations in relation to accreditation. These general observations
have been formulated on common or important interpretative issues and are intended to
constitute guidelines for members on the application process for accreditation or for the
implementation of the Paris Principles. The list of general observations is not exhaustive and will
continue to evolve as the Sub-Committee reviews additional applications.
12. The list of general observations adopted by the ICC in October 2006 is attached in annex II
to this report. The general observations developed by the Sub-Committee at its March 2007 and
October 2007 sessions have yet to be formally adopted by ICC, scheduled to take place at its
twentieth session.
