3.7 Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC)
The Committee on the Rights on the Child was established under the Con- vention on the Rights of the Child. It comprises 10 independent members elected for a four-year term.
The main function of the Committee is to monitor the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child based on examination of State reports in close cooperation with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), specialized agencies and other competent bodies (including NGOs).

Reporting procedure
States parties are required to submit reports to the Committee two years after becoming parties to the Convention, and thereafter every five years, on meas- ures taken to give effect to the rights in the Convention and on the progress made in the enjoyment of  children’s rights.
The pre-sessional working groups comprising all members of the Committee meet in closed meeting at the end of each session to consider reports sched- uled for the next session. Its mandate is to identify those areas in the reports which require clarification or raise concerns and to prepare a list of issues for transmission to States parties. States provide written replies to be considered in conjunction with the report.
