<p><strong><strong><big>CAT Timeline Switzerland 2017 – ca.
2020:<br /></big></strong></strong> • Above <strong>June 2017</strong> NGO
Report provides solid evidence of ongoing IGM practices in Switzerland, no
legal protections for children at risk and no access to redress and justice for
survivors, in clear contradiction of the <a href="https://stopigm.org/post/UN-Committee-Against-Torture-CAT-Condemns-Intersex-Genital-Mutilations-Calls-For-Legislative-Measures">
2015 CAT binding recommendations for Switzerland</a>.<br />
• In <strong>December 2017</strong> during its <a href="https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/treatybodyexternal/SessionDetails1.aspx?SessionID=1173&Lang=en">
62nd Session</a>, the Committee <strong>drafted the List of Issues Prior to
Reporting (LOIPR)</strong> with questions for Switzerland.<br />
• <strong>January 2018</strong> the <strong><a href="https://intersex.shadowreport.org/public/swiss-ch-2018-CAT-LoIPR_para27_G1800371.pdf">LOIPR</a> <a href="https://intersex.shadowreport.org/public/swiss-ch-2018-CAT-LoIPR_para27_G1800371.pdf">(PDF)</a></strong> was
published, including a <strong>tough question on intersex and IGM</strong>
under CAT Article 16 <strong>“Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment”</strong>
(<a href="https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/treatybodyexternal/Download.aspx?symbolno=CAT%2fC%2fCHE%2fQPR%2f8&Lang=en">CAT/C/CHE/QPR/8,
para 27</a>):</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>“27. In light of <a href="https://stopigm.org/post/UN-Committee-Against-Torture-CAT-Condemns-Intersex-Genital-Mutilations-Calls-For-Legislative-Measures">
the Committee’s previous concluding observations (para. 20)</a>, please
indicate the <strong>measures taken to guarantee respect for the physical
integrity and autonomy of intersex individuals</strong>, so that no one is
subjected during childhood to <strong>non-urgent medical or surgical
procedures</strong> intended to determine the sex of the child.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>• Juli 2019 the <strong>State report</strong> was published, including the
known excuses <em>“our experts told us they stopped”</em> and <em>"instead of
inhuman traetment, let's rather talk about legislation making it easier to
change the sex in the Civil Registry"</em> (<a href="https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/treatybodyexternal/Download.aspx?symbolno=CAT%2fC%2fCHE%2f8&Lang=en">CAT/C/CHE/8,
paras 163-69</a>).</p>
<p>• NGOs will have another possibility to submit <strong>NGO
reports</strong>.</p>
<p>• Finally the <strong>actual State review</strong> will take place in
Geneva, hopefully followed by <a href="https://stopigm.org/post/IAD-2016-Soon-20-UN-Reprimands-for-Intersex-Genital-Mutilations">

Intersex, IGM practices, the above thematic report, and the intersex report by
Intersex Trust Aotearoa New Zealand (ITANZ) were <strong>mentioned under art.
16 in the List of Issues Prior to Reporting (LoIPR), para 32</strong>, i.e. in
the initial List of Questions of the Committee to the State party, drafted
during the 60th CAT session. <strong><br />

Next, New Zealand will now have to provide written answers in its State
report.<br />
Then NGOs and NHRIs can submit update reports, and finally the Committe will
review New Zealand in Geneva, hopefully with togh questions on intersex and
IGM, followed by strong Concluding observations (with binding recommendations
to the State party).<br />https://intersex.shadowreport.org/post/2017/01/21/2017-CAT-New-Zealand-LoIPR-Intersex-NGO-Report#comment-formhttps://intersex.shadowreport.org/feed/atom/comments/60
