7. Replies of States parties to lists of questions from human rights treaty bodies (Content Code B27)

Replies of States parties to lists of issues and questions from treaty bodies are issued as addenda to the documents containing lists of issues, and considered during examination of periodic reports. They provide specific information pertaining to articles of the treaty concerned.

In general, do not assign secondary subject terms for specific issues or topics unless there are substantive sections or annexes providing information on specific topics. See the list of "core" primary subject terms under Periodic reports of States parties to UN human rights treaties.

- Assign the corporate name heading for the State party (tag 710).
