43. Mr. ALFONSO MARTINEZ said that it was all to Mr. Eide's credit that he had decided to take members' comments into account since the conclusions and recommendations of a Special Rapporteur were his own. 44. Despite the fact that the Government of Cuba had voted in favour of the new ILO Convention concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries (No. 169), he had serious doubts about the practical effectiveness of that instrument and had objected to the inclusion of the recommendation suggesting ratification of the Convention (recommendation No. 10, document E/CN.4/Sub.2/1989/8/Add.l) because he knew what the indigenous peoples actually thought of it. 45. Mrs. KSENTINI thanked Mr. Eide for having amended his recommendations, which he was in no way obliged to do. She suggested that members of the Sub-Commission should consult with him to improve the drafting of those of his recommendations that were causing problems, perhaps including a provision E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/SR.l8 page 7 concerning the protection of migrant workers. She could agree to the transmission of the revised recommendations to the Secretary-General. 46. Mrs. DAES supported the amendment put forward by Mr. van Boven. She believed that the points raised were covered by the words "as revised in the light of the discussions of the Sub-Commission at its present session". 47. Mrs. BAUTISTA requested that her name should be added to the list of co-sponsors of the draft resolution. 48. Mr. ALFONSO MARTINEZ said that the sponsors agreed to the amendment submitted by Mr. Sadi to replace the words "a revival of racism" in the fifth preambular paragraph by the words "an upsurge of racism". They accepted the amendments proposed by Mr. Guisse and Mrs. Daes to replace the words "ethnic, national and other minorities" in the same preambular paragraph by the words "ethnic, national, religious and linguistic minorities".
