The Commission on Human Rights, in its resolution 2001/44, took note of the report of the ninth session of the open-ended working group on a draft optional protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Convention) (E/CN.4/2001/67), and requested the working group, in order to continue its work, to meet prior to the fifty-eighth session of the Commission for a period of two weeks, with a view to completing expeditiously a final and substantive text, and to report to the Commission at its fifty-eighth session. The Economic and Social Council, in its decision 2001/265, endorsed that request.
