Sources
of review
While the report
of the States party concerned will form the main basis of the review,
there are other sources of information available to the CEDAW Committee
to assist it in its review. These include country-specific reports
submitted by specialised UN agencies such as WHO, ILO, UNESCO, UNICEF
etc., reports of UN Special Rapporteurs such as the Special Rapporteur
on Violence Against Women, shadow reports of NGOs - national and
international, reports submitted by the States party concerned to
other treaty bodies, the Concluding Comments of other treaty bodies
and the results of research conducted independently by individual
members of the CEDAW Committee. How the report of the States party
compares in relation to this body of information is an issue to
consider.
