Text of ECOSOC resolution 1503

States examined under the 1503 procedure

Fact Sheet No.7 Communications Procedures
The revised 1503 procedure
The 1503 confidential communications procedure was reformed during the fifty-sixth session of the Commission on Human Rights in 2000. The Working Group on Enhancing the Effectiveness of the Mechanisms of the Commission on Human Rights, which met between the fifty-fifth (1999) and fifty-sixth sessions of the Commission included in its report (E/CN.4/2000/112) recommendations on how the 1503 procedure should be amended (see chapter three). These recommendations were subsequently embodied in a draft resolution entitled "Procedure for dealing with communications concerning human rights" which was part of Commission decision 2000/109 (adopted without a vote on 26 April 2000). The Economic and Social Council, at its resumed organizational session for 2000, approved the draft resolution on 16 June 2000. It became Council resolution 2000/3. In accordance with this resolution, the procedure as amended may continue to be referred to as the 1503 procedure.
