Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1992, Publicación: 79ª reunión CIT (1992)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Further to its previous direct request, the Committee has noted Chapter V of the draft Labour Code, appended to the Government's report, which would bring national legislation into conformity with Articles 2 and 7 of the Convention.

The Committee has also noted that the Occupational Health Committee is preparing the implementing regulations concerning types of work involving moral and physical hazards, as required in Article 3 of the Convention.

As regards Article 9, paragraph 3, the Committee has noted that the Government refers to section 229 of the draft Labour Code, which provides that the employer shall keep at the disposal of the labour inspectors medical certificates which prove that there is no medical objection to the employment of young persons. The Committee observes that in accordance with Article 9, paragraph 3, of the Convention such documents should be kept for all young persons below 18 years and should also indicate their age or date of birth.

The Committee hopes that the draft Labour Code and its implementing regulations will be adopted in the near future, in order to give full effect to the above provisions of the Convention and that the next report will indicate the progress made in this direction.
