Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 125. At its June 2003 meeting, the Committee once again requested the Government to take steps to investigate without delay the dismissals of Carlos Alberto Paico and Alfredo Guillermo de la Cruz Barrientos (members of the Board of the Trade Union of Workers of the Industrial Nuevo Mundo Company) and of that union’s members and former leaders, Alfonso Terrones Rojas and Zósimo Riveros Villa and, if it were found that they were dismissed because of their trade union activities, to take measures to ensure their reinstatement in their posts. The Committee requested the Government to keep it informed in that respect [see 331st Report, para. 66].
2. 126. In its communication of 19 March 2003, the Government states that the judicial authority has reported that there are no proceedings under way for the persons mentioned.
3. 127. Given that in Peruvian legislation the authority responsible for examining claims of anti-union persecution is the judicial authority, the Committee invites the complainant organizations to take steps to ensure that the trade unions officials in question take the appropriate legal actions.
