Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

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

The Committee noted that in its previous report the Government repeated, as it had for years, that the legislative text would 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 Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
