She has prepared a questionnaire to gather information on this subject, in English, French and Spanish. The Special Rapporteur would be grateful if responses could reach her no later than 31 October, so that they can be reflected in her next report to the Human Rights Council.

Please send your responses to the questionnare as well as other relevant information to Ms. Rachel Rico-Balzan: rrico@ohchr.org and Geneviève Clottey: gclottey@ohchr.org. Fax: +41 22 9179006.
