Question Taken at July 29, 2005, Daily Press Briefing

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

Question: Will the U.S. be submitting its report on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) to the United Nations Human Rights Committee?

Answer: The United States continues to work on a report of its implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. In May of this year, the United States submitted its report on the implementation of the Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Since that time, we have concentrated our efforts on completing the ICCPR report, which we hope to submit to the Human Rights Committee as soon as possible.
