Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2000, Publicación: 89ª reunión CIT (2001)

Convenio sobre poblaciones indígenas y tribuales, 1957 (núm. 107) - Angola (Ratificación : 1976)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to its previous comments.

The Committee recalls that its 1988 direct request asked the Government to collect and transmit information concerning the size and types of the different populations of the country, including the characteristics that differentiate them from the rest of the population and the languages spoken by them. In its March 1991 report, the Government undertook to conduct an in-depth study in order to supply the information requested. Subsequently, in its 1992 report, the Government indicated that Angola’s constitutional order had undergone profound changes, particularly in the area of human rights.

In light of the indications contained in the Government’s 1991 and 1992 reports, the Committee returns to the points raised in its earlier comments. It hopes that the Government will supply the information necessary to examine the application of the Convention, and expresses the hope that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary steps in the very near future.
