E/CN.4/1997/71 page 19 must be included in educational curricula in a manner which takes into account the levels, age and specialization of the students. Similar courses must be incorporated also in professional training, particularly for security and customs personnel.” 25 IV. COMMUNICATIONS RELATING TO ALLEGATIONS OF RACISM, RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AND XENOPHOBIA 41. In accordance with established practice, the Special Rapporteur, when receiving allegations of racism, racial discrimination or xenophobia, transmits them to the Governments concerned and expects reply three months later. In the absence of a reply, or if he believes the reply received to be complete, he issues an opinion, then brings the information in his possession to the attention of the Commission. 42. In 1996 the Special Rapporteur transmitted allegations of racism, racial discrimination or xenophobia to 12 Governments in order to obtain information as required by Commission resolution 1996/21, paragraph 13. The Governments concerned were those of Angola, Australia, Austria, Canada, Côte d'Ivoire, France, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, the Russian Federation and the United States of America. A. 1. Angola Communication dated 9 September 1996 43. The press and spoken media have recently been reporting the repatriation, mainly to Mali, of foreigners living in Angola. It is pointed out that the people expelled include foreigners whose presence in Angola was legal and regular. 44. This action is said to have been motivated by xenophobia. 45. No reply has been received from the Angolan Government. 2. Special Rapporteur's observation 46. The Special Rapporteur would like to hope that the Angolan Government will give this matter due attention and supply the information and clarifications requested, rectifying the situation of those people who had been lawfully in Angola but were nevertheless expelled. B. 1. Australia Communication dated 28 May 1996 47. It has been reported that “Australia’s criminal justice system remains heavily weighted against Aboriginal people”. Since the start of March 1996 it was found that indigenous Australians still run a disproportionately high risk of arrest, detention and death in custody. A pattern of ill-tratment and arbitrary arrest occurs against a backdrop of systematic discrimination against Aborigines.
