When drafting an alternative report, it is suggested to:
• Identify the focus and structure of your alternative report (e.g., selected issues or all articles/clusters of the treaty) • Analyse the extent to which existing law, policy and practice comply with the principles and standards of the treaty and other relevant follow-up recommendations, so you can highlight the main challenges in the alternative report • Make reference to the relevant article in the treaty you are referring to • Reference all information correctly (e.g., jurisprudence) • Do not use abusive language • Be clear and precise, accurate and objective; and provide examples/evidence of alleged human rights violations, where relevant • Integrate a gender perspective in the alternative report (i.e., mention whether there are any differences between women/men with regard to the enjoyment of specific human rights; include disaggregated data, etc) • Include concrete suggestions on how could the human rights situation be improve
