G. Monitoring compliance with the Committee's views under the Optional Protocol 684. From its seventh session in 1979 to its forty-fifth session, the Human Sights Committee has adopted views with respect to 138 communications received under the Optional Protocol and found violations in 106. During the years, however, the Committee has only been informed by States parties in relatively few cases of any measures taken by them in pursuance of the views adopted. 10/ 685. Because of the general lack of knowledge about State compliance with its views, the Committee decided at its thirty-ninth session to establish a mechanism that would permit it to seek and evaluate information concerning State compliance and designated Mr. Janos Fodor as Special Rapporteur for the follow-up of views. The measures adopted by the Committee in this respect are reproduced in annex XI to its annual report for 1990. 11/ 686. In carrying out his mandate, the Special Rapporteur for the follow-up of views has requested written information from the States parties on any measures taken in pursuance of the Committee's views. The Special Rapporteur is in the process of analysing the replies received. He intends to report to the Committee at the earliest opportunity. Motes 1/ Official Records of the General Assembly.
