Recalling Commission on Human Rights resolutions 1993/41 of 5 March 1993 and 1992/31 of 28 February 1992, in which the Commission requested the Sub-Commission to formulate concrete proposals to the Secretary-General regarding the utility and the format of his reports pursuant to Sub-Commission resolution 7 (XXVII) of 20 August 1974 on the question of the human rights of persons subjected to any form of detention or imprisonment.
Bearing in mind that no replies have been received for the last two years to the requests for relevant information,
Taking account of the proposal of its sessional working group on detention, made in 1992 and 1993, that the Sub-Commission should stop consideration of this item,
Noting that the procedure established pursuant to its resolution 7 (XXVII) has been conducive to the establishment of new relevant mechanisms and procedures,
Considering that new mechanisms and procedures established, in particular
thematic procedures, have dealt to a great extent with the procedure provided for by Sub-Commission resolution 7 (XXVII),
