In their periodic reports, States parties need not report on every article of the Covenant, and should concentrate on those provisions identified by the Committee in its concluding observations and those articles in respect of which there have been significant developments since the submission of the previous report.
Las directrices permiten la elaboración de informes iniciales generales, artículo por artículo, y de informes periódicos centrados principalmente en las observaciones finales formuladas por el Comité sobre el informe anterior de cada Estado Parte.
