Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107) - Angola (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee has not received detailed information on the application of the Convention in many years. In its previous comment, in the absence of a report, it repeated its previous comment in which it noted that the Government had indicated that the situation in the regions where the populations covered by the Convention are most likely to live had rendered it difficult to provide information on the size and types of the populations covered by the Convention. It has previously referred to profound changes in Angola’s constitutional order, which had a significant impact on human rights in the country.

The Committee had already requested a detailed report on the application of the Convention, which however has not been supplied. It again expresses the hope that the Government will supply the information necessary to assess the application of the Convention, by responding to the questions in the report form adopted by the Governing Body.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2005.]
