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

The Committee takes note of the Government's report for the period ending 15 September 1995. It takes note that as the report gives no further particulars in reply to the earlier direct request, the Committee must return to the questions in a new direct request. It hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps and supply the information requested in its next report.

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.

The Committee 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.
