The follow-up to the 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work provides for the submission of annual reports by ILO members, as well as the publication, by the Director-General, of a yearly global report on the fundamental principles and rights covered by the Declaration. The 2003 and 2007 global reports focused on eliminating discrimination at work, both considered minority issues.20 E. UNESCO mechanisms The Committee on Conventions and Recommendations of the Executive Board examines confidential (group and individual) complaints regarding alleged human rights violations within the fields of competence of UNESCO (education, science, culture and information, especially relating to articles 18, 19, 20, 26 and 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) that occurred within the territories of UNESCO member States. The Committee is composed of 29 members and meets twice a year. It tries to resolve the reported problems in a spirit of cooperation, dialogue and mutual understanding rather than acting as a tribunal. In urgent cases, the Director-General may personally make humanitarian representations on behalf of alleged victims of human rights violations in UNESCO fields of competence. 20 The global reports and further information on the Declaration follow-up are available from www.ilo. org/declaration. 26
