At its 67th meeting, on 16 April 1997, the Commission on Human Rights decided, without a vote, that, unless otherwise indicated in the resolutions adopted at its fifty-third session, all special rapporteurs, special representatives, independent experts and working groups entrusted with continuing thematic or country-oriented mandates established by the Commission were expected to report to the Commission at its fifty-fourth session, even if the relevant resolutions did not make explicit reference to that reporting obligation.
