12. The Tribal Territories Act should be
reviewed to provide equality before the law for
all the peoples of Botswana.
13. Sections 77 to 79 of the Constitution
should be reviewed to ensure equality before
the law, and equal participation in the House of
Chiefs by both Tswana and non-Tswana tribes.
14. Representation on minority issues should
be established at Council and Parliamentary
levels.
15. The establishment of the Human Rights
Commission should be expedited.
16. Translations into local languages during
community meetings in minority dominated
areas would go a long way in ensuring better
comprehension of issues that affect them.
I believe that continued engagement with
Government on minority issues by the international
community and at local level, is likely to create an
enabling environment for the full implementation
of the Declaration in Botswana.
I thank you.
