Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

The Committee notes with regret that in its report the Government repeats, as it has for years, that the legislative text will be communicated as soon as it has been brought into line with the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee recalls that it has addressed the application of this Convention in its comments for many years and that in 1976, at the Government's request, the International Labour Office sent a draft of new provisions which might be incorporated into the existing legislation in order to give effect to the Convention. However, despite repeated assurances from the Government that it would adopt the necessary texts to give effect to this Convention, no such texts have as yet been adopted.

The Committee again strongly suggests that the Government take the necessary steps to ensure that the text designed to give effect to the Convention, for which preparations started in 1979, is adopted in the near future.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1998.]
