Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1991, Publicación: 78ª reunión CIT (1991)

With reference to its previous direct request concerning Act No. 95 of 1980 on the protection of values, under which a person may be banned for a period ranging from six months to five years, from standing for election or being appointed to the chairmanship or membership of management committees of trade union organisations or federations, the Committee notes that, according to the Government's report, these provisions are a means of upholding the Constitution and the legislation safeguarding the rights and religious values of the people, the basic political, economic, social and moral principles and thereby national unity and social peace.

The Committee again requests the Government to supply information on the practical application of these provisions in its future reports and, in particular, copies of any judgements handed down by virtue of Act No. 95 of 1980.
