The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be sent for examination by the Committee at its next session.

The Committee notes the comments by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), the Djibouti Labour Union (UDT) and the General Union of Workers of Djibouti on the application of the Convention, and requests the Government to respond to the abovementioned comments.

The Committee notes with concern the allegations of dismissals or dismissal measures against trade union leaders and the assertions concerning the new draft of the Labour Code. According to the abovementioned organizations, there have been no consultations on the draft, which is inconsistent with fundamental ILO principles, particularly freedom of association and collective bargaining. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the abovementioned draft and to ensure that the representative organizations of employers and workers are thoroughly consulted. It reminds the Government that it may call on the Office for technical assistance.
