Interim Report: Filling of Vacancies on South African Human Rights Commission, dated 7 June 2002:

The Ad Hoc Committee on Filling of Vacancies on South African Human Rights Commission reports as follows:

The Committee has been mandated to complete its task by 6 May 2002, and regrets to report that it was not able to meet that deadline.

The Committee did, however, advertise the vacancies and complete shortlisting. It has held interviews on 4, 5 and 7 June 2002, and it will be meeting shortly to finalise its recommendations to the House. It is envisaged that the Committee will be in a position to complete its work in due course.

The Committee therefore requests that the House, notwithstanding its Resolution adopted on 2 November 2001, grant it permission to publish its final report by not later than Tuesday, 25 June 2002.

Report to be considered
