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 previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. In its previous comments, the Committee referred to the Government’s statement that, due to the problems affecting the regions inhabited by the populations covered by the Convention, it had been difficult for the Government to transmit information on these populations. The Government had previously referred to profound constitutional changes, which had significantly affected human rights in the country. The Committee requested a detailed report, and it notes with regret that the report received contains no information on the application of the Convention.

2. The Committee invites the Government to explore, with the assistance of the Office, ways and means of applying the Convention to certain populations in the country. It once again requests information on populations that might be covered by the Convention and asks the Government to indicate any legislative amendments which have had an effect on the situation of the populations covered by the Convention.

3. The Committee notes the 2003 report of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights expert working group on indigenous populations/communities, according to which the San of Southern Africa constitute a group of hunter-gatherers or former hunter-gatherers who suffer from marginalization and specific human rights violations. In Angola, the San make up 0.01 per cent of the national population. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the situation of the San people.
