The Committee notes that, over the past five years, the Government’s report has provided little or no information with respect to the points raised in its previous comments. While the Committee acknowledges that countries may not be in a position to provide all the information requested, it emphasizes that it is still necessary for the Committee to be provided with as much information as possible in order to permit an adequate evaluation of the progress achieved in the application of the Convention. The Committee thus trusts that the Government will make every effort to collect and communicate, in its next report, concrete information with respect to all the points raised in its direct request, as well as any other particulars which would enable the Committee to better appreciate the progress achieved or the difficulties encountered in applying the Convention.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
