Clarifications An explanation of UN document (‘UN Doc’) abbreviations: UN Doc abbreviations feature capital letters combined with figures. The letter denotes the main organ to whose body of documentation the item belongs; Arabic numerals indicate sessions or years. For example: • E/C.12/…: documents from the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.2 • CRC/C: documents from the Committee on the Rights of the Child. In ‘Concluding Observations’, after the reference is made to the UN body, there is a reference to the country under examination and the number of the report(s) that are examined. For example: • CRC/C/QAT/CO/3-4 indicates the CRC considered Qatar’s combined third and fourth periodic reports. • E/C.12/ROU/CO/3-5 indicates the CESCR considered Romania’s combined third to fifth reports. While most of the documents examined were from the last ten years, due to their relevance, some older documents have also been included. Older Concluding Observations of the CESCR are included in annual reports of the Committee to the ECOSOC. They are referred to by two symbols: E/2001/22 or E/C.12/2000/21 In ‘General Comments’, there is an indication of the document type and number. For example, CRC/C/GC/19 indicates General Comment No 19. The full reference for this General Comment is ‘General Comment No 19 on public budgeting for the realisation of children’s rights (Art 4)’. For reasons of practicality, the first time General Comments are mentioned, the study provides the full reference and, in subsequent references, they are identified with the name of the treaty body that issued them alongside their respective numbers: for example, CRC General Comment 19. In special procedures’ reports, letters denote the body to which these were submitted, as well as session numbers. • A/HRC/31 indicates a report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) at the 31st session. • A/69 indicates a report to the UN General Assembly (UNGA) at the 69th session. 2 Due to the fact the Committee is a subsidiary organ of the ECOSOC, not legally a body established by the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. 18 The Obligation to Mobilise Resources: Bridging Human Rights, Sustainable Development Goals, and Economic and Fiscal Policies   December 2017
