6. Lists of issues or questions to States parties (Content Code B27)

Most of the treaty bodies prepare lists of issues or requests to States parties for information to be considered during examination of periodic reports. They may be issued first in restricted-distribution draft versions (CRP in document symbols) followed by final versions in general distribution.

The word "draft" usually but not always appears in the title of draft versions. If the word "draft" appears in an area of the title page but not as an integral part of the title, assign it as an edition statement (tag 250) rather than other title information (tag 245 $b). If the word specifying that it is a draft version does not appear, assign it in an edition statement between square brackets.

- In general, index the lists of issues or questions with primary subject terms only (tag 650 level 1). Assign primary topical subject terms for the main subject(s) of the treaty, the term PERIODIC REPORTS, and the geographic term for the State party. See the list of "core" primary subject terms under Periodic reports of States parties to UN human rights treaties.

- Assign the title subject heading for the treaty (tag 630).

- Assign the corporate name heading for the treaty body with its sessional modifiers in tag 710.

- Assign content code B27 (Treaty body lists of issues and State replies to lists of issues) in tag 089 for final lists of issues.

- Assign content code A17 to draft lists of issues.

    - If bibliographic references are present, assign the appropriate note in tag 500.
