The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous people, Professor S. James Anaya, presents his observations and recommendations on the situation of indigenous peoples in Botswana, focusing on those groups that have been historically marginalized and remain non-dominant parts of society. This report arises out of an exchange of information with the Government, indigenous peoples, and other interested parties and follows the Special Rapporteur’s visit to Botswana between 19 and 27 March 2009.
