Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

See under Convention No. 24, as follows:

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes in particular that, following the adoption of the Decree to institute the National Protection and Social Security Office, published in Le Moniteur on 11 January 1990, the evaluation report and recommendations concerning the application of a social security scheme, prepared in the context of the technical assistance mission carried out by the ILO in 1988 have been revised and updated. In this respect, the Committee notes with interest that the Government has requested the technical assistance of the ILO, particularly with regard to sickness insurance. The Committee therefore hopes that this assistance will be provided when circumstances permit and that, with the assistance of the ILO, the Government will be able to progressively set up a system of general sickness insurance, in accordance with the Convention. It requests the Government to report any progress achieved in this respect.
