The United Nations Human Rights Council conducts a Universal Periodic Review on the human rights situation of all member states of the United Nations. The HKSAR's report is submitted to the UN as part of China's report. Stipulated by the United Nations Human Rights Council, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) reports are required to submit every five years. The HKSAR's third report under the Covenant was submitted to the UN as part of China's second report in June 2010. The report set out the progress of the implementation of the ICESCR in Hong Kong since the hearing on the previous report by the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in 2005. It also responded to the concerns and recommendations of the Committee at the hearing. The full text of the report is available on the website of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau:
