Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

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

Display in: French - SpanishView all

The Committee notes the Government's reports, which arrived too late to be examined at the previous session. In the report received in March 1991, the Government expressed the intention of responding to the requests made earlier for information on the size and types of population, and the languages and characteristics of the populations likely to be covered by the Convention, when the situation of war affecting the areas in which they are likely to live had been resolved. The Committee notes from the later report (received in January 1992) that the Government has stated that there have been profound changes in the constitutional order which have a special impact on human rights, and has reiterated its earlier intention to denounce the Convention at the appropriate time.

The Committee hopes that the Government will remain in contact with the Office concerning the possible denunciation of the Convention, and that it will make an appropriate decision following consultations. In the meantime, it requests the Government to provide the information requested earlier as soon as the situation may allow. Please indicate also the legislative changes which would affect the situation of the populations covered by the Convention.
