1. The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. At the same time it notes that a number of laws and decrees have been adopted and published since the Government's last report which affect the situation of indigenous peoples of the country, and which in fact refer directly to the Convention. These include Act No. 1551 of 1994 on Popular Participation and Act No. 1702 of 1996 which amends it, the Forest Act No. 1700 of 1996, the Mining Code (Act No. 1777 of 1997), and various others. It hopes that a report will be supplied for the next session which provides detailed information on the effect of this new legislation.

2. The Committee notes in addition that a representation has been submitted by the Bolivian Central of Workers (COB) under article 24 of the ILO Constitution, alleging the non-observance of certain provisions contained in the Convention. The Committee will therefore return to the matters raised in its previous comments, as well as in the representation, at its next session. It hopes that the Government will communicate a detailed report covering the outstanding matters.
