The Convention on the Rights of the Child expressly gives NGOs a role in monitoring its implementation (article 45(a)). The Committee also encourages international, regional, national and local NGOs to submit reports, documentation or other written information in order to provide it with a comprehensive picture of how the CRC and the Optional Protocols are being implemented in a particular country. Guide for NGOs Reporting to the Committee The Third Edition of the Guide for Non-Governmental Organizations Reporting to the Committee on the Rights of the Child (2006) provides up-to-date information on the procedures for the examination of reports submitted under the CRC and its Optional Protocols. The Guide details how NGOs can effectively interact with the Committee by submitting information and participating in the pre-sessional working group meeting. Suggestions for follow-up action by NGOs are also included.
