Full Description
The Committee on the Rights of the Child's concluding observations on Haiti, adopted 24 February 2016 after examining the combined second and third periodic reports. Treaty body observations are the one place where a state's own reporting is tested against evidence from other sources and answered on the record, which is why they read differently from any national report.
