Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

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

Having previously noted that there was no legislation or national policy to implement the Convention, the Committee hopes the Government will soon be in a position to provide full information on any administrative, legislative or other measures which are explicitly designed to eliminate discrimination based on all of the seven grounds prohibited by the Convention (race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin) and to promote equality of opportunity and treatment in respect of employment and occupation. The Committee also requests the Government to provide full information on how the Convention is applied in practice in conformity with Parts II–V of the report form.

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