The Committee notes from the Government's reply to its previous comments that the Joint Consultative Committee, referred to in the first report as the body responsible for the consultations to be held under the Convention, has never been convened since the ratification of the Convention. The Committee hopes that following the restructuring process of the Government it will completely implement the provisions of the Convention, particularly as concerns the consultations to be undertaken by the Joint Consultative Committee on each of the matters set forth in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, and on the frequency of these consultations (Article 5, paragraph 2). It trusts that the Government will supply the requested information in its next report.
