7. On each cluster of articles, the State party should also include information on concrete
measures taken with regard to the concluding observations adopted by the Committee in
relation to the previous report.
D. References
to other
treaty‑specific
documents and
ILO Convention
reports
8. If a State party refers in its CMW‑specific document to information contained either in
the common core document, or in any other treaty‑specific documents, it should indicate
precisely the relevant paragraphs in which such information is contained.
E. Format of the
CMW‑specific
document
10. As required in paragraph 19 of the harmonized guidelines, subsequent periodic
documents should be limited to 40 pages. Pages should be formatted for A4‑size paper, with
1.5 line spacing, and text set in 12 point Times New Roman type. Reports should be
submitted in electronic form (on diskette, CD‑ROM or by electronic mail), accompanied by
a printed paper copy.
9. Similarly, if a State party is party to any of the ILO Conventions listed in appendix 2 of
the harmonized guidelines and has already submitted reports to the supervisory committee
concerned that are relevant to any of the rights recognized in the Convention, it may wish
to refer and to attach the respective parts of those reports rather than repeat the information.
11. The report should be accompanied by sufficient copies (if possible in English, French
or Spanish) of the principal legislative and other texts referred to in the report. These will be
made available to members of the Committee. It should be noted, however, that they will
not be reproduced for general distribution with the report. Reports should also contain a
full explanation of all abbreviations used in the text, especially when referring to national
institutions, organizations, laws, etc., that are not likely to be readily understood outside of
the State party.
