1. With reference to its previous comments on the insertion in the national legislation of "race" among the prohibited grounds of discrimination, the Committee notes with satisfaction that the 1980 Constitution (which did not mention "race") has been amended and replaced by the Constitution adopted by referendum on 27 September 1992 and promulgated on 14 October 1992, which ensures, in articles 2 and 11, equality before the law of all citizens and all human beings without any distinction in particular as regards extraction, race, sex, religion and political opinion, in accordance with Article 1, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention.

2. The Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government in which it raises other points.
