As with the previous report to the Human Rights Council, presented at the thirteenth session in March 2010 (A/HRC/13/64), this report looks at a number of past recommendations made by the High Commissioner and several human rights mechanisms. In addition, it assesses the response of the Congolese Government since the last report. In the course of the universal periodic review at the thirteenth session of the Council, the Congolese Government made a commitment to implement several of these recommendations. The High Commissioner welcomes this commitment and reiterates that she stands ready to assist the Government in its efforts in this direction.
