64. At its thirty-sixth session, the Committee decided to consider the status of implementation of the Covenant by another non-reporting State, Angola. The Covenant entered into force for Angola on 10 April 1992 and the initial report was due on 30 June 1994. In a note verbale dated 22 March 2006, the State party was informed that the Committee had decided to consider the implementation of the Covenant in the State party at its thirty-seventh session in November 2006. The State party was requested to indicate the date by when it planned to submit the report. Through a note verbale dated 3 May 2006, the Permanent Mission of Angola to the United Nations Office at Geneva explained the work under way in Angola to prepare a common core document and requested that the Committee postpone its consideration of the initial report of Angola to 2007, following the completion of the common core document. At its thirty-sixth session, the Committee agreed to postpone its consideration of Angola's report until its forty-first session in November 2008. As is its established practice, the Committee will examine the report in advance through a pre-sessional working group, with a view to adopting a list of issues on the report. Through a note verbale dated 12 June 2006, the State party was requested, in view of the time required for processing and translation, to submit its initial report by no later than 15 December 2007.
