The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat the matters raised in its 2006 direct request which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government’s report to the effect that, since the previous report (1999), no change has occurred in application of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government has given the same information in successive reports since 1979. As the Committee has received no information on which to base an appreciation of the level of application of the Convention ratified in 1950, it is bound to request the Government to supply in its next report to the International Labour Office, in conformity with article 22 of the ILO Constitution, up to date information on measures taken or envisaged to give effect in law and in practice to each of Articles 1 to 5 in reply to the requests made in Parts I to VI of the report form of the Convention.

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