Parallel report
The term parallel report (also colloquially: shadow report) denotes a report by one or more non-governmental organizations, for example on the process of implementing a UN convention, to a corresponding UN committee that monitors this process. There are also shadow reports in other contexts, according to the shadow report on Berlin Conditions , which has been compiled annually since 2006 by the civil society organizations Antifascist Press Archive and Education Center and Mobile Advice Against Right-Wing Extremism Berlin.
UN level
Shadow reports are drawn up in parallel to the reports to be drawn up by the contracting states and are incorporated together with these into the assessment by the UN committee of the progress of the implementation of the respective convention. A shadow report can refer to the entire government report. However, it can also deal with partial aspects of the government report or point out what a government report does not report.
