Article 41 ICCPR provides for INTER-STATE COMPLAINTS — a State Party may complain to the HRC that another State Party is not fulfilling its obligations under the Covenant. This procedure is:

1. Article 41(1) ICCPR provides for inter-State complaints procedure: a State Party may declare that it recognises the competence of the HRC to receive and consider communications to the effect that a State Party claims that another State Party is not fulfilling its obligations under the Covenant. 2. The procedure is OPTIONAL — applicable only between States Parties that have made the Article 41 declaration. 3. Procedure: (a) the complainant State first communicates with the respondent State; (b) if not resolved in 6 months, refers to HRC; (c) HRC may attempt amicable solution; (d) if unsuccessful, HRC may appoint AD HOC CONCILIATION COMMISSION (Article 42). 4. The Article 41 procedure has been used rarely; mostly States prefer political/bilateral channels. 5. Hence option B is correct. _Source: International HR Treaties + Indian Constitutional Jurisprudence — ICCPR Article 41_
