The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2001 direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes the Government’s first reports on the application of the Convention. It notes with interest that the National Advisory Committee on Labour (NACL) considers and advises upon the ratification and implementation of any relevant international labour standard and upon issues addressed by tripartite regional and international conferences. It welcomes the annual report of the NACL and would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on the activities of the NACL on matters covered by the Convention.

2. Please provide further details of the consultations held on the Government’s replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the Conference and the Government’s comments on proposed texts to be discussed by the Conference (Article 5, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention) and on denunciation of ratified Conventions (Article 5, paragraph 1(e)). In this regard, the Committee recalls that the ILO Governing Body has invited States parties to the Contracts of Employment (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1939 (No. 64), and the Penal Sanctions (Indigenous Workers) Convention, 1939 (No. 65) - which Lesotho has ratified - to contemplate ratifying the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), and denouncing Conventions Nos. 64 and 65 at the same time. States parties to the Underground Work (Women) Convention, 1935 (No. 45), are invited to contemplate ratifying the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176).

3. Please also provide particulars of any consultations that may have taken place with the representative organizations on the question of issuing an annual report "on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention" (Article 6).
