The Committee underlines the importance of a reporting practice that is in full
compliance with the provisions of article 44 of the Convention. An important aspect of
States parties’ responsibilities to children under the Convention is to ensure that the
Committee on the Rights of the Child has regular opportunities to examine the progress
made in the implementation of the Convention. In this regard, regular and timely
reporting by States parties is crucial. The Committee recognizes that some States parties
experience difficulties in reporting in a timely and regular manner. As an exceptional
measure, in order to help the State party catch up with its reporting obligations in full
compliance with the Convention, the Committee invites the State party to submit its
combined third and fourth periodic reports by 26 September 2008, due date of the
fourth periodic report.
