The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Need to adopt specific provisions accompanied by sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions for the protection of workers and workers' organizations. The Committee had previously noted that the revision of the labour laws, prepared with ILO technical assistance, had already been submitted to tripartite meetings, that the comments of the tripartite body have been received and that the document has just been forwarded to the Law Officers' Department. The Committee asks the Government to keep it informed of any further progress made in the preparation of the final draft document and to provide a copy of the revised legislation as soon as it has been adopted. Article 4. With regard to the right to collective bargaining of teachers, the Committee would request the Government to provide information in its future reports on any collective agreements covering teachers that have been concluded.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
