Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government in its report. It notes however that it replies only partially to its previous comments. The Committee is therefore once again obliged to raise the points in question in a new request addressed directly to the Government concerning the following Articles of the Convention: Article 1 (extension of coverage under the social security scheme), Article 3, paragraphs 2 and 3 (compulsory nature of postnatal leave), Article 4, paragraph 1 (suspension of benefit in case of the pronounced anti-social conduct), Article 4, paragraphs 4, 5 and 8 (prohibition of making employers individually liable for the cost of maternity benefit and assistance to women who fail to qualify for benefits as of right), Article 6 (prohibition of dismissal during maternity leave).

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1999.]
