PRESENTATION OF
THE REPORT
5. 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. It is desirable therefore
that, when a text is not actually quoted in or annexed to the report itself, the report
should contain sufficient information to be understood without reference to it.
6. States parties may wish to present their initial report under article 73 of the International
Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of
their Families in conjunction with the Common Core Document referred to in document
HRI/MC/2004/3 which contains draft guidelines for its preparation. This option has
been encouraged by the third inter-committee meeting held in Geneva on 21-22 June
2004 (see document A/59/254, Report of the Sixteenth Meeting of the Chairpersons of
the Human Rights Treaty Bodies).
7. Initial reports under article 73 of the Convention should be submitted in electronic
form (on diskette, CD-rom or by electronic mail), accompanied by a printed paper copy.
The report should not exceed 120 pages (A4-size paper, with 1.5 line spacing; and text of
12 points in the font Times New Roman).
