Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107) - India (Ratification: 1958)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report on the application of the Convention arrived after its present session had begun, too late to allow the Committee to examine the report in the detail it requires. Accordingly, the Committee must defer consideration of the report until its next session. Noting that the situation of the tribal populations in India is subject to change, the Committee requests the Government to submit information in time for its next session with regard to the points raised in its 1997 observation and direct request, on any matters for which there may have been further developments.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2001.]
