There is an urgent need for monitoring and independent review mechanisms that inform remedial actions for all stakeholders in order to achieve results for women’s and children’s health.
(...) Purpose of the review
The Review examines accountability mechanisms encompassing: monitoring; review (which may be independent or non-independent); and remedy or action (e.g. recommendations that specific policies and programmes be revised). (...) A new independent review body is needed urgently that: considers an agreed core set of quantitative and qualitative data from all stakeholders; commends good practices; signals where there is room for improvement; and makes constructive, practical, remedial recommendations.
Remedy or action : The review body’s observations and recommendations should then be considered by a body or bodies representing the different stakeholders, so they can take the required remedial actions.

Furthermore, in accordance with paragraph 21 of the annex to decision I/7, the Committee “should at all relevant stages take into account any available domestic remedy unless the application of the remedy is unreasonably prolonged or obviously does not provide an effective and sufficient means of redress”. The Committee’s view is that this provision does not imply any strict requirement that all domestic remedies must be exhausted, i.e., the Committee would not be precluded from considering a case even where the application of the remedy was not unreasonably prolonged. On the other hand, the failure by a communicant to make use of available domestic remedies might be grounds for the Committee to determine that the matter should be pursued at the level of domestic procedures rather than (for the time being) through the compliance mechanism.
