E/2002/27 E/CN.6/2002/13 ii. It failed to consider the question of reliable attestation to any of the allegations, a concern raised by many delegations both during the open debate on the communications procedure of the Commission on the Status of Women as well as during the closed session to consider the communications; and iii. The report failed to indicate any category in which communications are frequently received. Having failed to discern any trend or pattern emerging from the list of communications received, the Working Group should, by right, indicate as much in their report. However, the current Working Group before the forty-sixth session of the Commission has taken it upon itself to extend its mandate and to “note” the violations of the rights of women in different regions around the world, regardless of the fact that the individual cases, when considered together as a whole, do not point to a consistent pattern of injustices. The Working Group had failed to fulfil any of the three criteria provided in operative paragraph 4 of Council resolution 1983/27. My delegation is of the view that the report prepared by the Working Group, with all its shortcomings, should nonetheless be examined by the Commission, as provided in operative paragraph 5 of Council resolution 1983/27, with a view to making recommendations to the Council, which would then decide what action may appropriately be taken on the emerging patterns of communications. Bearing in mind that the Working Group has failed to point to an emerging pattern of communications, the Commission would, by logical sequence/conclusion, not be able to make any recommendations to the Economic and Social Council in this regard. Having said this, my delegation feels that a general recommendation for human rights education to be carried out in sensitizing officials in “sensitive” areas of work is a good one, and could/should be made by the Commission to the Economic and Social Council. In this regard, paragraph 11 of the report of the Working Group could serve as a basis for such a recommendation. Reservation entered by Pakistan My delegation did not support the proposal to include the report of the Working Group on Communications in the report of the Commission on the Status of Women to the Economic and Social Council. We did so because we consider the proposal in violation of Council resolution 1983/27. May I remind the Commission the report of the Working Group is to be examined by the Commission to formulate its recommendations to the Economic and Social Council. Paragraph 5 of Council resolution 1983/27 requires, and I quote, “the Commission on the Status of Women to examine the report of the Working Group and to avoid duplication of the work undertaken by other organs of the Economic and Social 65
